Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 4-day route better than the 3-day route to Fes?

Absolutely. The 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes trip is very “drive-heavy.” By choosing the 4-day immersion, you get a much-needed break on Day 3. Instead of being in the car for 7+ hours, you spend the day off-roading in the dunes, visiting Nomads, and relaxing. It makes the final drive to Fes on Day 4 feel much more manageable and enjoyable.

The temperature can change drastically on the final day. You move from the Saharan heat to the cooler, alpine climate of Ifrane and the Middle Atlas mountains. We recommend having a light jacket or sweater easily accessible in the van for the mountain stops.
