Shared Sahara routes
Compare four Sahara routes from Fes: two 3-day through-routes and two compact 2-day options, each with shared and private packages. Choose your duration first, then decide whether to return to Fes or finish in Marrakech or Agadir.
4 desert tours
Duration is the first decision. The 2-day routes compress the journey into one Sahara-camp night, while the 3-day routes add a second overnight and more time for southeastern Morocco. On Fes-to-Marrakech journeys, our team has often found that traveling against the more familiar Marrakech-origin tour flow changes when we meet groups at popular stops. Crowds still vary by season and day.

No. The three days include the entire road journey. On the three-day routes from Fes, the first night is at a desert camp near Merzouga; the next two travel days take you through southeastern Morocco, including an additional hotel night before the final destination.
