Journey from a city of culture

Start your Morocco journey in Fes

Fes is Morocco’s spiritual and artisan capital, and a superb place to begin a Sahara journey. The road south climbs through cedar forest and highland towns before the landscape opens toward Erfoud and Erg Chebbi. Many travelers continue from the dunes to Marrakech via Todra Gorge, Dades Valley and Ait Ben Haddou.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tours from Fes

Is the Sahara closer from Fes than from Marrakech?

Yes. Fes to Merzouga is a demanding but shorter desert approach than Marrakech to Merzouga. That is why 2-day Fes–Merzouga tours exist, while Marrakech really wants three.

Do I need a guide in the Fes medina?

For a first morning, yes — Fes el-Bali is easy to romanticise and easy to waste. We book a licensed local walking guide; the desert driver does not replace that.

Can a Fes tour include Chefchaouen?

Yes, as an overnight or a long day trip. An overnight is kinder. We often place Chefchaouen before or after Fes on Tangier-start itineraries.

What are the typical routes from Fes?

Southbound roads climb through Ifrane and Midelt, then follow the Ziz palmeraie to Erfoud and Merzouga. Westbound desert tours continue via Todra, Dades and Ait Ben Haddou to Marrakech.

How many days do I need for a tour from Fes?

Give Fes itself at least one full day. Two nights in camp need a 3-day desert outline. A one-way Fes to Marrakech Sahara trip is the spine we recommend when flights allow.

Which tour styles start in Fes?

Popular patterns are 2 days Fes–Merzouga, 3 or 4 days Fes–Marrakech via the desert, and longer Morocco tours from Fes that add Chefchaouen or Casablanca.
