Amazing trip!
The most insightfull and beautiful adventure. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Morroco. The trip there although long was easy fpr us thanks to our amazing driver Najim. In the desert is like you really feel what's important in life as tome stands still. People are very kind and love to tell stories about the place and the life in the biggest hot desert.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this amazing review! We are delighted that you had such an insightful and beautiful adventure with us. It's wonderful to know that Najim took great care of you on the road and that you felt the true magic and warmth of the desert and its people. Thank you for making us a part of your Moroccan highlights, and we wish you many more incredible travels ahead!

Beautiful journey
A very nice experience, Omar and Musta are very friendly and prepared guides, they speak multiple languages and made us feel comfortable for the whole long journey. Aziz is an awesome driver, his driving style is smooth and the long mountainous drive passed flawlessly. The dunes look amazing, the camping is well equipped, clean and the food is good.

Great experience!
This was a great tour! We were slightly unsure if we'd actually get picked up at our Riad (or nearby) the morning of, but we heard from them the night before via WhatsApp and felt good about the pickup plan. Went to the chosen location in the morning and immediately met Mustafa, who was a great driver and pseudo-guide for both days of our trip. The drive isn't too bad, especially since we did the Private Tour so we had the car to ourselves. We weren't very interested in most of the stops along the way because we thought it'd be better to get to the desert sooner. However, the camel ride was only scheduled for 6:30pm and they take you to your campsite, so there's no point in actually rushing to get there earlier. Therefore, enjoy the stops along the way, have a leisurely lunch, etc. The camel ride was great - you walk onto the dunes and stop to watch the sun set - and the service at the kasbah was top tier. Only thing was that dinner was really late, but it was delicious, and the campfire and songs were fun. Downside is definitely that there isn't A/C in the tents - it was really difficult to sleep. We didn't realize there isn't any A/C until it was too late, so we suffered in the heat for the night. We were also told to meet in the morning to watch the sunrise with a guide, but when we woke up for that there was no guide to take us out into the desert. We ended up just going out on our own to try to see it, though there is so much sand along the horizon that there isn't too much of a sunrise view. The drive from the desert to Marrakech is incredibly windy through the Atlas Mountains and drivers take the turns at a high speed, so we were particularly happy we got the Private Tour so we could lay down and sleep through the drive (and also catch up on sleep after the early morning). All in all, it was such a unique and fun experience, and we would certainly recommend it as long as you're game for a little adventure!

We stayed in Fez in a wonderful Riad/Dar fes Tresor is perfect, nice, clean, good food and the people working there are so wondeful. We made an Excursion around Fez with a tour guide and the next day from fez to the desert os Merouga, everything was organized by Souka and Hassan was the driver. The organization was perfect, i recomend this Ríad and also all the kindess and recomendations of Souka who tried all the time making everything perfecet and she got it. The driver Hassan- also very kind
Response from the operator: Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Dar fes Tresor and your excursions around Fez and to Merzouga. It's great to know that Souka and Hassan provided excellent service and made your experience memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Extraordinary Morroco tour with Hassan
This journey across Morocco from Fes to the desert includes stunning landscapes, learning about local culture, surprises like feeding monkeys and riding dromaderies in the desert. The team was very kind and amenable, the bivouack tents comfortable (although bare in mind, because they include plumbing, they are located at the cusp of the desert, not quite in it), and Hassan is a gracious and friendly guide + driver. Thank you for the experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your journey from Fes to the desert. We're thrilled you enjoyed the landscapes, cultural insights, and unique experiences along the way. Appreciate your kind words about our team, the comfort of the bivouac tents, and Hassan's guidance. We're grateful for your feedback and happy you had a memorable experience!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech?
+
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 From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech?
+
Around 15 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Fez: 2-Day Desert Tour with Return to Fez or Marrakech 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 desert tour 3 days, Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 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.
