Good To Know About The 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes

  • Consider Longer Tours:This 3-day tour involves substantial driving, particularly on the final day. For a more leisurely experience, we recommend opting for a 4 or 5-day tour if you have the time.
  • Weather-Dependent Experiences:Please note that adverse weather conditions such as rain or sandstorms may lead to missing out on the sunset or parts of the camel excursion.
  • Lunch Options:While we typically stop at restaurants serving fresh cuisine, you have the flexibility to choose your own restaurant. Simply ask your driver, and they can take you to your preferred dining spot at any time.
  • Camel Riding Considerations:Riding a camel for an extended duration may not be comfortable for everyone. We advise against it for individuals with back problems, pregnant women, and those over 70 years old.

What Our Travelers Are Saying About Desert Tour From Marrakech

The Best 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech to Merzouga

This 3 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we left Marrakech, the journey through the High Atlas Mountains and Berber villages was breathtaking. Visiting the historic Ait Ben Haddou and seeing the landscapes of Ouarzazate, Dades Valley, and Todra Gorge even with brief stops gave a perfect glimpse of Morocco’s diverse beauty. The highlight, of course, was the Sahara Desert. Riding camels over the golden dunes, watching the sunrise, and spending the night in a desert camp with traditional dinner and Berber drums under the stars was magical. Day 2 exploring the desert, meeting Berber nomads, visiting Khamlia and Mefis, and the Lake of Birds made the experience truly immersive. Returning to Marrakech with scenic stops along the way wrapped up an incredible adventure. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a mix of culture, nature, and desert adventure!
