Highlights

Fes - Middle Atlas Mountains - The Sahara Desert.

Merzouga Desert - Begin your incredible adventure into the Middle Atlas Mountains. Your first stop will be Ifrane. Then, travel through the vast cedar forests near the Berber village of Azrou, known as The Rock in the local Berber dialect, where the famous Barbary apes, actually macaque monkeys, might try to share your lunch in their natural habitat. Continue through the Atlas Mountains, which are said to hold up the sky, navigating through forested peaks, winding mountain streams and springs, and stunning, rugged rock walls. At dusk, your camel will be ready to take you on an unforgettable ninety-minute trek through the shifting desert sands, leading you to a traditional Berber desert camp where you’ll spend the night in a tent, surrounded by towering dunes. A truly unforgettable day.

Desert Dawn – Mighty Middle Atlas Mountains - Fes or Marrakech

Marrakech - Start early to witness the magnificent sunrise over the sand dunes. Then, gently ride your camel back to a hotel for breakfast, observing the shifting and changing shadows cast by the dunes as the day progresses. After breakfast, continue your journey to Marrakech or return to Fes directly through the Mighty Middle Atlas Mountains.

Once in a lifetime journey! - Although the car trip from Fes to the desert is very long, we were able to stop at quite a few interesting places on the way (the Atlas mountains were a highlight) and our driver Mohammad was so funny and knowledgeable. The desert experience itself was unforgettable. The camel ride was once in a lifetime, and seeing the sand dunes in person was amazing. I'd recommend it 100%

An excellent experience in the Merzouga desert. - We traveled with Madih, who was both a great driver and a great guide. Beautiful tour! We needed to concentrate everything in 2 days, but we didn't want to deprive ourselves of the desert night. With this tour we managed to do everything (Ifrane, Azrou, Merzouga, Rissani, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou) with an excellent and friendly guide and at an honest price

Perfect experience! Don’t miss it! - Absolutely perfect! I could not ask for a better team to take care of us. From the moment we arrived in Fes all of our guides were amazing, super knowledgeable and accommodating. Yahya our driver to the desert was incredible, stopping everywhere and making sure we took the best pictures and went to the best places. The desert experience in itself was a dream, and our host Hassan made us feel at home with his stories about his whole life lived in the Saharan desert. The manager is Fes Tours Nabil was also great communicating everything with us beforehand, available always and we felt safe and taken care of the whole time! If I could rate this any higher I definitely would. 100% recommend! Also check out their other tours, we also did volubilis and meknes with them and had an amazing time, and had a walking tour with Abdul in the Médina who was super knowledgeable on everything about Fes. Tanneries, ceramic factories, you would see everything with them. Don’t miss out when you’re in Morocco! They are the team to book!

Tome experience - This was a great trip. Our tour guide Madih was really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed feeding the monkeys, seeing all the landscapes and riding the camels. The desert camp was lovely when we arrived and the locals at the camp really made the experience even more enjoyable.

Madihs guide around the Sahara - Madih, our desert guide, was exceedingly kind, accommodating, and informative. While traveling to the Sahara, we were escorted through a number of various communities and were exposed to Moroccan culture. Madih was also very helpful in recommending good places to eat traditional food along the way. I would strongly advise people to do this tour.

Sahara trip from Fes to Fes - Our guide Madih was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable for our desert experience. We were shown around numerous different towns and experienced the culture of Morocco while travelling to the Sahara. Madih also recommended nice spots for traditional food along the way and was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this trip to others

Amazing - It was an amazing and well designed trip. Good timing to see all what they offer. Our driver (Pedro) was amazing and we strongly recommend him. Quite friendly, educated and made our time (7 hours each way) in the car shorter.

Excellent trip to the desert from Fes - We had a fantastic time on the 2 day 1 night trip from Fes. Our tour organiser Nabil and our driver Medi were so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better experience in the desert. Sunsets, camel rides, sand boarding and listening to music around the camp fire - what more could you need 😀

Lifelong memories and Nabil is simply the best! - This was hands down the highlight of our 10 days in Morocco. We feel so lucky to have met Nabil and to have been able to spend time with him on this trip. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are having a great time. You cannot go to Morocco and miss this tour, it’s that excellent!!! We have the absolute best memories of playing with camels in the desert, meeting the nicest locals, and driving ATVs around the desert was absolutely unreal. I cannot say enough great things about this tour, you MUST book it if you are in Fes!! We feel Nabil is now family since we had such a great time, he really looked out for us and we could tell he genuinely wants you to just have a great time in Morocco!
