Start your 2-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Fes early with a 6:00 a.m. pick-up from your hotel or riad. Travel through the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m), enjoying scenic stops for panoramic views and picturesque Berber villages. Continue to the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and filming location for legendary productions such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones. From there, journey to Ouarzazate, where you’ll explore the Taourirt Kasbah and the Atlas Film Studios. Proceed through the Rose Valley, Skoura palm grove, and Todra Valley, stopping for lunch along the way. By late afternoon, you’ll reach the mesmerizing Merzouga dunes, where camels await to take you on a sunset trek across the golden sands of Erg Chebbi. As night falls, settle into your luxury desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, and experience Berber drumming beneath a sky full of stars.
Rise early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast and a refreshing shower, return by camel or optional 4×4 to meet your driver. Travel north through the Ziz Valley, dotted with palm groves and dramatic rock formations. Pass through Errachidia and Midelt, where you’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Continue across the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in the Cedar Forest of Azrou to observe playful Barbary monkeys, then pass through Ifrane, often called the Switzerland of Morocco. Arrive in Fes by late afternoon, where your driver will drop you at your accommodation, marking the end of your Sahara adventure.

EXCELLENT Based on 173 reviews Posted on Nomad14720879716Verified Très belle excursion dans des conditions idéales Très belle ballade, paysages fabuleux surtout en ce debut de printemps: Lac Lalla takerkoust, Asni et Imli Un chauffeur sympathique et attentif, un guide très agreable et également attentif tout au cours de la promenade. Repas délicieux dans une maison berbère. Je recommande cette agence, sérieuse et a compris notre demande.Posted on Inma MVerified 3D/2N luxury desert experience in Morroco Amazing trip with the family during three days and two nights with our driver Mohamed. He was very attentive during the long rides to take care of us and make our trip memorable. Everything was very well organized and met highly our expectations.Posted on Gabriela CVerified Agafay's desert dinner We went to Agafay's desert dinner and everything was really well organized. The food was really good. The camel's ride was really funny. People were kind. We've had a good time. Thank you.Posted on Rex KVerified Youness is incredible! We had the most wonderful and memorable time, largely thanks to Youness. He was the best ever and we are so appreciative.Posted on florence wVerified Marrakesh airport - Taghazout Vi åkte med Deep South travel from marrakesh flygplats till Taghazout och vi var supernöjda! Transfern var i tid, vi fick stanna på ställen för att köpa mat och vår förare körde väldigt försiktigt och bra! Vår upplevelse var 10/10, vi var 10 personer och det var väldigt bekväm och rymlig transfer vi fick!Posted on GrandTour746743Verified A wonderful taste of Morocco and the desert It was a magical trip. Our guide Mohammed had many years of experience plus he had genuine love for his job and his native country. This combined, provided a very rich 3 days where we learned and experienced Morocco. The scenery was amazing from the Atlas Mountains to the Saharra desert. From the Berber villages to the vast canyons and gorges. The food along the way was local and delicious - we never went hungry. As we spent a lot of time in the car (which was comfortable and luxurious - a Mecedes van), Mohammed was very open to stopping when we wanted to (or needed to!). The accommodations were really top notch highlighted by the tent in the desert. The experience in the desert, traveling on camel to where we slept, the scenery, the massive dunes, the sky full of stars, the chill at night, and the hospitality of the local people made it an experience that I will repeat. I will give this experience my highest recommendation.Posted on Henry OVerified Best trip ever We had the absolute best time. I cannot stress how good our driver Youness was. He was so helpful and made the trip incredible, putting up with all of us. He let us spend extra time in places and the trip was really flexible with what we wanted. The itinerary was well planned and each day had the perfect amount of stuff. The car was very spacious and Youness let us play whatever we wanted (sorry Youness haha). There were some things like the itinerary stating that we would be riding camels on both the evening and following morning in Merzouga, however we only got to ride them in the evening. Overall an incredible experience and will remember it forever!!Posted on Hamma HVerified One day trip to Agafay The trip was very well organised. It was also easy communicating with the team. The driver was on time and we enjoy it the day pass in Agafay. I highly recommend it! We enjoyed it!
