Customers Reviews about the Private 6 Days Desert Tour From Fes

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charlotte B. (Australia)

This was such a well-paced way to travel from Fes to Marrakech. The extra day in Merzouga let us really enjoy the desert, and Ouarzazate's film studios were a fun surprise near the end. Telouet Kasbah on the last day was beautiful and quiet, hardly any other tourists there. Our driver was fantastic throughout. Discover Excursions Morocco planned a trip that felt complete from start to finish.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Felix N. (Germany)

We booked the 5 days desert tour from Fes to Marrakech and it covered so much more than we expected. Two nights near the dunes, then Ouarzazate and Telouet before finishing in Marrakech, it never felt rushed. The 4x4 excursion and nomad visit were real highlights. Thank you Discover Excursions Morocco for such a well organized and memorable route.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valentina C. (Argentina)

Traveling from Fes to Marrakech through the desert with this 5 day tour was one of the best decisions of our trip. Every day brought something different, mountains, dunes, film studios, kasbahs. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to talk to the whole way. Highly recommend Discover Excursions Morocco to anyone doing this route between the two cities.
