2 Days Sahara Desert Tour From Fes
A Short Tour Packed with Incredible Moments
We booked the 2-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech and were lucky to have Hamid as our driver and guide — he was fantastic! From the moment he picked us up, we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. He explained everything in clear English and made the long drive feel easy with great conversations and local insights.
The camel ride in the Erg Chebbi dunes was a dream, and watching the sunset over the Sahara was something I’ll never forget. The luxury desert camp was clean, beautiful, and peaceful — the perfect place to relax after a long day. This tour is ideal if you’re short on time but still want to experience the magic of the desert. Thank you, Hamid, for making it so special!
Excellent 2-Day Desert Experience
We didn’t have much time in Morocco, so we chose the 2-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour — and it turned out to be the best decision! Adil, our guide and driver, was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He shared so much about Moroccan culture and history during the journey.
Even though the distances are long, the stops were well-planned. Ifrane, the cedar forest, the Ziz Valley… all stunning! The highlight was of course the camel ride and the night in the luxury camp. The tents were very comfortable, and the dinner and music around the fire made it feel magical. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Hamid as your guide!
