About this trip
Three days on the road from Marrakech to Fes, cutting through the Atlas Mountains and out into the Sahara. It's the classic route, but done properly it still delivers — you trade the city for open desert and a night sleeping under genuinely dark skies.
The centrepiece is a camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes and a night in a Bedouin desert camp, with the sand shifting colour at sunrise and sunset. Along the way there's Moroccan food, some nomadic culture, and the kind of quiet you don't get in Marrakech's medina.
It ends in Fes rather than looping back, so you get two different Moroccan cities bookending a stretch of proper desert in between.
What you'll do
- Cross the Atlas Mountains between Marrakech and the desert
- Ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes
- Sleep a night in a traditional Bedouin camp
- Watch sunrise and sunset over the Sahara
- Eat traditional Moroccan meals along the route
- Arrive in Fes at the end of the tour rather than backtracking
- Private tour, so pace and stops can flex around your group
- One night is spent camping in the desert, so expect basic facilities
- Long driving days are part of it — this covers a lot of ground in three days
