Marrakech to Fes Private Luxury Desert Tour
Cross from Marrakech to Fes through the Sahara in a private vehicle, with a luxury desert camp in Erg Chebbi and boutique stays on the way.
The best way to link Marrakech and Fes, rather than the night train or a domestic flight, while having a real desert experience. Over 3, 4 or 5 days you travel in a private SUV or minivan with an experienced English speaking driver across the Atlas to the kasbahs of Telouet and Ait Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate and the Skoura palm grove.
The route goes off road above the Valley of Roses and the Boutaghrar villages, through the Todra valley with a local guide or a short hike in the canyons, to the dunes of Erg Chebbi for a sunset camel ride or quads and desert buggies. You spend at least one night in a desert camp in Erg Chebbi; other nights are in boutique hotels or kasbah lodges in Skoura, the Dades Valley or Ait Ben Haddou. Every itinerary is tailored to your wishes, so contact us for a quote.
