4-Day Tour from Marrakech to Fez via the Désert

Posted By : Go39288051611
My wife and I did a 4 day tour from Marrakesh to the desert to Fez. Our first 2 days were with Moha… he was our personal driver and a wonderful host to the country of Morocco…. He provided a great tour to the desert but he got re-routed back to Marrakesh so sadly he was not able to take us to Fez. We enjoyed his great positive energy, he always accommodated our needs (coffee stops, bathroom breaks etc) and always felt safe and in good hands on the road.
We finished our trip to Fez with Hassan also a knowledgeable capable driver. Great experience all around!

We chose this shared group tour as it was one of the few that offered a 4 day trip. We got an extra day in the desert with some "local sightseeing", which we appreciated. This made the trip more stress free and relaxing, as there is a lot of driving for long distances.

We were not a part of the same group and driver for the whole trip, but changed groups (see details below). This was as expected, but the communication with the agency was not very good. However, everything worked out as planned, so I guess you have to trust the process.

For the first two days we joined a 3 day group from Marrakesh to Fes.

The third day we joined some other people doing a 3 day trip Fes round-trip (their second day of their trip).

For the fourth and last day, this now "new" group joined a 3 day group from Marrakesh to Fes that departed the day after our us (their last day of their trip)

I contacted Morocco Explored to arrange a road trip from Marrakech to Fez. I was quickly able to work out a great plan with the manager Mr Essalah, who was very responsive and flexible.

Our guide & driver was Mr Youssef Bakkali, a very lucky opportunity for us. Youssef was our trusted travel companion from the beginning, and he made us feel comfortable and confident as he helped us learn about the geography and culture of Morocco. Youssef made every day of the trip fun and adventurous as he chose sights, routes and opportunities to just hang out and enjoy the moment. Some of the highlights were shopping local markets and putting together our roadside picnics, taking off-road routes, and exploring sites like Ait Ben Haddou and Todra.

By the time we arrived in Fez, I felt that we were beginning to understand something about the reality of Morocco. Before Youssef left us, he gave us excellent advice about our time in Fez. We were in good hands, without a doubt, and I feel that we experienced the best kind of education in these few days. Thank you Youssef!

I spent hours researching the best trip through the desert and I am SO glad I found this one. Most of the trips from Marrakech to Fes/Fes to Marrakech are 3 days and 2 nights but I knew I wanted to break up the long drive a little more and have an extra night in the desert which is why this was perfect.

For this trip--my boyfriend and I were the only passengers and we had Mohamed as our tour guide. Mohamed was really helpful and accommodating the whole trip and definitely contributed to our amazing experience. I would say that for the price, you can't beat this tour--there were pools at both hotels, both hotels and the desert camp had AC in the rooms (I spoke with travelers on other tours and they didn't have AC in their desert camps) and breakfast and dinner were included in all.

For me, the highlight of the trip was the desert sunrise and driving the quads through the sand dunes.

We enjoyed surfing on the dunes with the kids and camel rides. We were disappointed that our guide was changed without warning during the middle of the trip and that we were shifted from a comfortable Ford minivan style vehicle to a cramped Highlander style SUV.

We traveled with "3L travel" company and we had a great experience. Big thank you to Mohamet the driver & guide. He was very respectful, funny, explained nicely and good available by phone/WhatsApp. The accommodation where nice, the desert tour interesting. We spent a second day in Merzoga and highly recommend to not speed back after one night. The gardens where interesting to see and to have some time to relaxed and enjoy the view of the hotel, Sahara dunes too.

Our trip through the desert was an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to be the only passengers and had a most luxurious trip through this amazing country. Our driver Hassan spoke excellent English and is an outstanding tour guide and driver. We were very relaxed with him. He really wanted us to have the best experience and made sure we got good service in all the restaurants and weren't ripped off when shopping.l We could not have wished for more.
We got to see amazing landscapes and authentic city life in the desert.
Our personal highlight was Erb Cheggi and the desert clamping with music and dancing around the fire after the camel ride at sunset.
We highly recommend this tour with Hassan.

My friend and I did the desert tour with 3T Travels starting in Marrakech. On the first day of the trip we were picked up from our Riad in the Medina and escorted to our ride. There we met our driver/tourguide Hachem. We had 3 truly beautiful days in which we visited different places. Hachem told us a lot about the different places (his studies in history helped with that) that we passed along the route.
Everything was perfectly organized; beautiful stops and views, a good hotel (for the night before the desert), lovely local food and AC.
When arriving in the desert we continued on dromedary towards the Saharan sand dunes while our luggage was taken to the Berber camp.
We watched a beautiful tranquil sunset after which we went to the camp.
The night in the desert was filled with good food, music and dance.
We ended the night under an unforgettable sky full of stars.
After sunrise next morning we took off towards Fes. Again traveling through magical landscapes.

Coming from Holland, being used to flat landscapes and a busy life, this trip was all one could wish for.

I want to thank our driver/tourguide Hachem for this one of a kind experience and would recommend anyone up for a great adventure to book with him!

We chose this tour because of the the other glowing reviews, and this trip exceeded our expectations. We had plans to visit multiple cities in Morocco, and this tour was the perfect opportunity to experience all the desert has to offer while also traveling from Fes to Marrakech. Hassan, our driver for 4 days, always had an eye for local restaurants and was always willing to make any stop or spur of the moment detour that we requested. Hassan is a safe driver and always made sure we were comfortable, pleased, and well accommodated. Our itinerary was well coordinated, and tailored to our requests. The hotels that we stayed at were quite luxurious, especially the desert camp- glamping for sure! The camel ride into the stunning Merzouga dunes for sunset was this highlight of the tour, a must-do experience in Morocco. It was well worth it to avoid the logistics and just enjoy the ride!

We had plans in both Marrakech and Fes with a 4 day gap in between. We found this most perfect solution, and saw the best the desert and mountains had to offer. Our guide Hasan was wonderful and took great care of us. The highlight was the camel ride over the giant dune Erg Chebbe through the Sahara at sunset for a night of eating and camping, returning during sunrise to a hot shower at breakfast. I would highly recommend this tour.
