    A once in a lifetime experience.

    Fes to Fes with desert in between was fantastic and I highly reccomend. This experience was greatly enhanced by our driver and guide Mustapha, he was an absolute gentleman. He was knowledgeable and had the journey to Merzouga planned perfectly from pick up to drop off. The information and knowledge given was informative not only about the areas we drove through but also about the people and communities. We were all given a local sweet snack which was generously given by Mustapha purchased from a local shop not long into the journey. We had well thought out and timed stops along the way, coffee, comfort stops, photos. Lunch was had at a local Berber village, Zaida, the food in this restaurant was delicious and amazing value for money. The barbecued sheep skewers I can highly reccomend! Tea, water, your meal choice, traditional Moroccan salad, bread, fresh fruit was 10Dirham or £7.83. The huge cedar forest was visited where you can see and feed the Barbary monkeys. We were dropped off at the desert to be picked up by Berbers whose camp we would be staying at. Luggage was taken from one vehicle to another ready to be collected after the camel ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes, a sight you will never forget. Our ride into the desert then into the camp was accompanied by thunder, lightening and torrential rain! This, for me, made the adventure more of an adventure. We were shown our beautiful tent, dried off and then given a delicious meal, followed by the music! What a sight and sound with everyone being encouraged to dance and play the instruments. Then into the desert led by Berbers to see the stars. Due to the thunder storm the previous night we were offered a morning camel ride to see sun rise, this was fantastic and a hugely generous offer to us all. The second night was spent in the Hotel Fatima which was beyond all our expectations. Stunning. Breakfast on day 3, pick up by Mustapha and the return journey began, again with mindful timed stops. The tour ended at our designated point where Mustapha ensured he had contact details and someone was meeting myself and 2 friends to get us back safely to our Riad. This company have designed a fabulous trip and experience. Mustapha really was the best, he is generous has a heart of gold and clearly cares hugely for his country, the people and the animals. Do this trip!

    I thoroughly recommend this tour!

    From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience into Berber country and one to treasure, travelling with my two friends. Our driver, Mustafa, took great care with us. The stops for toilet, lunch or just being in the landscape or at interesting places, was expertly timed. Mustafa had local knowledge to share, advice with great humour AND excellent choices in music, adding to whole flavour of the experience. The camel ride into the desert was something I’ll never forget as the heavens opened and drenched us all so completely. Arriving at camp we made friends. The food was delicious but afterwards the live music really made my whole trip complete. The musicians had us all dancing, like a small party in a very unique environment. I was sad to leave. The generosity of spirit from people really shone through. We had the next night in Merzouga at the Fatima Hotel. This is a gorgeous place to stay, all really great. And then picked up by Mustafa again to see the land from the other direction made me so happy. It a 10hr drive through very interesting landscapes and towns. I thoroughly recommend this tour!

    3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.

    How much does 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga cost?

    +

    Prices start at €170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.

    Is 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga?

    +

    Around 37 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes To Fes or Marrakech via Merzouga start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fez within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Fez?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Fez?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Fez?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
