Four private days from Fez to Marrakech

4-Day Private Desert Tour from Fez to Marrakesh

About this experience

Same operator as the small-group tour, same driving legs, one extra day. A private vehicle collects you at your Fez hotel at 8:30 AM and follows the classic first day through Ifrane, the Azrou cedar forest and Aoufous to Merzouga. The difference is where you sleep: night one is at Riad Azawad in Merzouga, not in a tent.

Day two is the reason to book. It's a full day around the Merzouga desert: Gnawa music in Khamlia, a stop at Mfis and a visit to nomads near Tamerdanit, before the night at Africa Luxury Camp in the dunes. Day three runs through Rissani and the Todra Gorge to Hotel Babylon Dades; day four crosses Ouarzazate, an hour at Ait Ben Haddou and the High Atlas to Marrakech. The overview says the itinerary can be customised.

Read the inclusions: private transport, accommodation, a camel trek, three breakfasts and three dinners. Entry fees at sights are excluded, along with lunches and drinks, so budget for Ait Ben Haddou. You need at least two travellers to book, and at $761 a person it's the priciest trip here. It's rated 5.0 from 229 reviews. The listing advises against it for back problems and heart conditions.
