The route
Questions about this trip
Is this a round trip back to Fes, or one-way?
One-way, ending in Marrakech — it's built for travellers continuing south, not looping back.
What's the drive time on the longest day?
Day one is the longest, around 7 to 8 hours including stops — the desert side genuinely is a full day's drive from Fes.
Is one desert night enough to see it properly?
You get a full sunset-to-sunrise night in the dunes, with the camel ride on both ends — short but complete.
Can I add a night in Fes before starting the tour?
Yes, we can arrange an extra night in Fes beforehand if your flight lands a day early.
Do I need special gear for the camel trek or the dunes?
No — comfortable closed shoes and a scarf for wind-blown sand are enough; camps provide the rest.
