Tour Description
This 5-day desert tour from Fes is one of the best ways to discover the beauty of southern Morocco at a relaxed pace. The route begins in Fes and continues south through the Middle Atlas, where the scenery changes from green forests and cool mountain air to rocky desert landscapes and wide open views.
As you get closer to Merzouga, the road becomes more dramatic. Palm groves, old kasbahs, desert towns, and long valleys lead you to the edge of the Sahara. There, your Fes to Sahara 5-day trip becomes a real desert adventure with camel trekking, sunset over the dunes, and a night in camp near Erg Chebbi.
After the desert, the trip continues through Todra Gorge, Dades Valley, Skoura, and Ouarzazate. The final part of your Morocco desert journey from Fes takes you to the ancient village of Ait Ben Haddou and across the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakech.
5-Day Desert Tour from Fes Itinerary
Day 1: Fes - Ifrane - Azrou - Midelt - Ziz Valley - Merzouga
Your driver will meet you in Fes in the morning, and your 5-day desert tour from Fes begins. The first stop is Ifrane, a quiet mountain town known for its clean streets and European-style buildings. Because of its neat appearance and cool weather, many people call it the Switzerland of Morocco.
After Ifrane, continue to Azrou and the cedar forest, where you may see Barbary macaques among the trees. From there, travel through Midelt and enjoy the changing views as the mountains slowly give way to desert landscapes.
Later, the road takes you through the Ziz Valley, one of the most beautiful palm valleys in Morocco. After passing Errachidia, Erfoud, and Rissani, arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon. You will check in to your riad, relax with a glass of mint tea, and enjoy your first evening near the Sahara.
Day 2: Merzouga Desert Excursion - Khamlia - Camel Ride - Desert Camp
After breakfast, spend the day discovering the Merzouga area. This part of your Morocco desert journey from Fes lets you see daily life around the desert, not just the dunes. You will visit small villages, open desert plains, and local communities near Erg Chebbi.
One of the stops is Khamlia, a village known for its Gnawa music. Here, you can enjoy local rhythms and learn about a cultural tradition that has deep roots in the Sahara. Depending on the season, you may also pass near the lake of Merzouga, where birds such as flamingos can sometimes be seen.
Later, visit Rissani, an old trading town with a traditional market and a strong desert atmosphere. In the afternoon, the real Sahara adventure begins. Ride camels into the dunes and watch the colors change as the sun goes down over the sand. This is one of the most special moments of the Erg Chebbi 5-day tour.
At night, enjoy dinner in the camp and sleep in the heart of the desert under a sky full of stars.
Day 3: Merzouga - Erfoud - Tinghir - Todra Gorge - Dades Valley
Wake up early for sunrise in the Sahara. The quiet morning light over the dunes is often one of the best memories of the whole trip. After breakfast, leave the desert behind and continue your Fes to Merzouga desert itinerary toward the valleys of southern Morocco.
Drive through Erfoud and Tinghir before reaching the impressive Todra Gorge. The cliffs here rise high above the narrow canyon, creating one of the most famous natural sites in Morocco. You will have time to walk through the gorge, take photos, and enjoy the fresh air.
From Todra Gorge, continue to Dades Valley. Along the road, you will see old kasbahs, unusual rock formations, and small Berber villages. Spend the night in a hotel or riad in the valley.
Day 4: Dades Valley - Rose Valley - Skoura - Ouarzazate
After breakfast, continue along the road through Dades Valley and the surrounding countryside. This area is known for its scenic views, old kasbahs, and peaceful villages. It is a beautiful part of your Fes to Sahara 5-day trip, especially for travelers who enjoy nature and photography.
Pass through Kalaat M’Gouna, famous for its roses and local rose-based products. Then travel to Skoura, a fertile oasis filled with palm trees and historic kasbahs. The area is calm, green, and very different from the desert, which makes the journey even more interesting.
In the afternoon, arrive in Ouarzazate, a city known for cinema, desert views, and old fortified buildings. It is often called the gateway to the south. Overnight stay in Ouarzazate.
Day 5: Ouarzazate - Ait Ben Haddou - Tizi n’Tichka - Marrakech
On the last day of your 5-day desert tour from Fes, visit Ait Ben Haddou, one of the most famous ksars in Morocco. This old fortified village, built from earth and clay, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the country’s best-known historic landmarks.
After exploring Ait Ben Haddou, continue toward Marrakech by crossing the High Atlas Mountains. The road over Tizi n’Tichka offers wide views, winding passes, and traditional mountain villages along the way.
By the afternoon or evening, arrive in Marrakech, where your 5-day desert tour from Fes comes to an end.
