Things to Consider

The Desert Shortcut

Things to Consider

This 2 days desert trip fes to marrakech is our most efficient desert crossing, ideal for travelers with limited time who don't want to miss the Sahara. Because this route covers a vast distance in 48 hours, it involves significant time on the road. For a more relaxed pace and deeper exploration of the Atlas Gorges, we highly recommend our 3-day version of this tour.

Road Conditions & Motion

The drive involves winding mountain passes through the High Atlas. This tour may not be the best fit for those who easily experience motion sickness. Additionally, due to the tight schedule on Day 2, we view the UNESCO site of Ait Ben Haddou from the panoramic viewpoint rather than touring inside the Kasbah.

Dining & Customization

Our guides select restaurants known for fresh, high-quality Moroccan cuisine. If you have a specific restaurant in mind or have dietary needs such as vegan or gluten-free diets please let us know at the time of booking so we can arrange the perfect dining experience.

Have an extra day to spare?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is two days enough to see the desert from Fes and finish in Marrakech?

This is our “fast-track” route. It is designed for travelers who are short on time but refuse to miss the Sahara. You will see the dunes, ride camels, and visit Ait Ben Haddou, but please be aware that you will cover over 1,000 km in 48 hours. If you prefer a slower pace with more sightseeing, we recommend our 3 or 4-day options.

Under normal conditions, we aim to drop you off at your Marrakech accommodation around 19:00 (7:00 PM). This can vary slightly based on how long you choose to spend at lunch in Ouarzazate or exploring the UNESCO Kasbah at Ait Ben Haddou.

es. This is a 100% private journey. You will have a dedicated driver/guide who is at your disposal. This allows you to skip stops you aren’t interested in or spend extra time photographing the High Atlas peaks.
