Tours from Fes

Prices depend on the route, the number of days, and whether you'd rather share a group vehicle or book something private.

Transport, a driver-guide, the camel ride into the dunes, and a night in a desert camp.

They cover the same ground for the first day or two, Fes to Merzouga with a night in the desert. After that, the loop tours head back north to Fes, while the others continue south and end in Marrakech instead.

One extra day. The 4 days tour from Fes to Marrakech covers the same route at a slower pace, so you get more time in the valleys instead of a long drive straight after the desert.

es, if a full day is all you have. It's a long day since Chefchaouen is a few hours from Fes each way, but it's the only way to see the blue city without adding an overnight stay to your trip.

Layers. Desert days are hot, but nights get cold, especially between November and February, so bring something warm for the evening. A scarf or hat helps with sun and blowing sand.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable for the desert legs, warm days without the summer heat. Summer gets very hot in the Sahara. Chefchaouen and the imperial cities are more forgiving year-round, since you're not sleeping outside for those.

Depends on the rest of your trip. Starting from Fes makes sense if you also want Chefchaouen or the Rif Mountains on your itinerary. If you're already planning to end in Marrakech, one of the tours from Fes that heads straight there saves you from doubling back.
