This was the perfect way to travel from Fes to Marrakech without missing the desert. The extra day in Merzouga made such a difference, we actually had time to enjoy the dunes instead of rushing through. The 4x4 excursion and nomad visit were unforgettable. Todra Gorge and Ait Ben Haddou were beautiful stops too. Discover Excursions Morocco planned a smooth, well-paced trip from start to finish.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lukas M. (Germany)
We booked the 4 days desert tour from Fes to Marrakech and it was one of the best decisions of our trip. Seeing the Middle Atlas, then two nights near the dunes, then finishing with Dades Valley and Ait Ben Haddou, felt like a complete journey through Morocco. Our driver was knowledgeable and easygoing the whole way. Thank you Discover Excursions Morocco for such a memorable route.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Isabella G. (Italy)
Traveling from Fes to Marrakech through the desert with an extra day in Merzouga gave us so much more than we expected. The camel ride at sunset and the sunrise the next morning were both magical, and the 4x4 trip to meet a nomad family stayed with us long after. Everything felt private and well organized. Highly recommend Discover Excursions Morocco to anyone doing this route.
