A desert tour from Fes usually follows the same road through Ifrane, the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley to Merzouga, but the practical choice is whether you return to Fes or continue on to finish in Marrakech. Compare the routes below, then ask us to confirm the exact driving plan, accommodation and price in writing.
Led by local guides, our Fes tours cross the Middle Atlas to the Erg Chebbi dunes. Ideal for combining the imperial city with an authentic Sahara camp experience.
Send us your arrival and departure cities and we will come back with a written route, overnight stops and a price, or tell you honestly that the plan does not fit the days available.
A 1-day Zagora trip is a long return drive from Marrakech with limited time at the dunes themselves, workable as a taster but tight on desert time. A 2-day trip is the most common option: drive down through the Draa Valley, an overnight at a desert camp with a 4×4 or camel transfer to reach it, and a return the next day.
Prices are quoted per group and route and confirmed in writing before booking. Payment method and deposit terms are confirmed at the time of quote.
Every route on this page is planned as a private departure, not a joined group tour. Vehicle details are shared with your itinerary before departure.
Riads, guesthouses and a desert camp for the overnight stop are named on your itinerary before departure.
Pickup can be arranged from Agadir Al Massira Airport or from hotels along the Agadir coastline; exact meeting points and timing are confirmed with your booking.
Desert Espace is a Moroccan travel agency running private, custom itineraries from Fes across the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley to Erg Chebbi (Merzouga), whether the trip returns to Fes or continues south to Marrakech. Several driver-guides are named directly by past travellers in public TripAdvisor reviews, read them here.
Include your entry city, preferred finish city, group size and the number of days you can dedicate to the trip. We’ll confirm what’s realistic, what may vary and what still needs checking.
