Morocco Trip · Fes
Morocco Trip runs the cheapest full 3-day route on this site: a driver walks to your Fes riad at 7:30 AM, you ride camels into Erg Chebbi at sunset and out at sunrise, and you sleep a night in the dunes and a night in the Dades Valley. Pick it to save money, and read the two exclusions before you do.
Morocco Trip collects you at 7:30 AM from your accommodation in Fes. Many riads can't be reached by car, so the driver parks and walks in to find you. The vehicle is air-conditioned with WiFi on board, and guests mention power outlets too. Day one crosses the Middle Atlas via the Azrou cedar forest and the Ziz Valley to the Merzouga desert, where the camel trek starts at sunset.
The price is $172, and two things explain part of it. First, the private bathroom in your tent, with a hot shower and toilet, comes only with the Luxury Camp option. Second, drop-off at your accommodation in Marrakech is excluded, even though the listing's own inclusion line mentions hotel drop-off. Plan to take a taxi or walk the last stretch, and confirm where the vehicle stops. Lunches, drinks and tips are extra.
The rest is solid. Camels go out at sunset and back at sunrise, so you see both on the dunes. Day two passes Rissani, spends time at the Todra Gorge and ends in the Dades Valley; day three crosses the Valley of Roses, Ait Ben Haddou and the Tizi n'Tichka pass. Guests rate it 4.7 from 84 reviews and warn about the hours: one wrote the drive was 8 to 9 hours one way. A quad ride on the dunes at dawn costs extra, about 50 euros according to one guest.
The driver collects you at your accommodation, then stops in Fes, the Azrou cedar forest and the Ziz Valley.
The sunset camel trek to the desert camp, dinner and the night in the dunes.
Sunrise trek out of the dunes, breakfast, then Rissani and about 2 hours at the Todra Gorge.
Dinner and the second night in the Dades Valley.
Stops in the Valley of Roses and at Ait Ben Haddou, then the Tizi n'Tichka pass and Marrakech.
