Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a round-trip tour or does it end in Marrakech?

This specific itinerary is a round-trip loop that starts and ends in Fes. It is designed for travelers who have their main accommodation or return flights based in Fes but want a comprehensive Sahara experience. If you wish to finish in Marrakech, please let us know, and we can adjust the route to our “Heritage” transit.

Absolutely. While the camel trek is the traditional way to reach the camp, we can easily arrange a 4×4 transfer to and from the desert camp at no additional cost. This is a great option for those with back concerns or those who simply prefer a faster arrival.

The drive on Day 1 and Day 3 is approximately 7 to 8 hours, including several stops for scenery, coffee, and lunch. Because the distance is significant (approx. 470 km), we leave early in the morning to ensure you reach the dunes in time for the sunset camel trek.
