After a tasty breakfast in your riad, we start our long and exciting 6 days desert tour from Tangier to Marrakech. We will leave Fes and take a beautiful drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Our first stop will be in the clean town of Ifrane, which people call the Switzerland of Morocco, and then we will visit the cedar forest of Azrou to see and feed the wild monkeys.
After stopping for lunch in the town of Midelt, we will continue our trip through the high mountains and pass by the big palm trees of the Ziz Valley. In the afternoon, the landscape will change as we get closer to the Sahara desert.

We will take a short walk along the shallow river that runs through the gorge, where you can feel the cool breeze, take incredible photos, and enjoy the beautiful natural views.
In the afternoon, we will continue our trip toward the green and winding Dades Valley.

Find answers to the most common questions about our 6 day Morocco tour from Tangier. We’ve gathered all the essential details to help you prepare for your journey and ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect.
The driving time varies from day to day. While some days only require 3 to 4 hours of travel with plenty of scenic stops, the days connecting Fes to the Merzouga desert and the desert to Marrakech involve longer journeys of about 7 to 8 hours. We always break up the long drives with frequent stops for photos, coffee, and exploring local landmarks to keep the journey comfortable and relaxing.
On the long stretch to the desert, expect about 7–9 hours of driving. However, on an 8-day tour, this is usually broken into 2 days with stops at Kasbahs and gorges to make it manageable.
Our desert camps offer a highly comfortable and authentic experience. You will sleep in a private, beautifully decorated tent equipped with proper beds, warm blankets, and pillows. Depending on your preference, standard camps offer shared, clean bathroom facilities, while luxury camps feature private en-suite bathrooms with hot showers inside your tent.
The ideal months for this journey are from September to May, when the weather is pleasantly warm during the day and perfect for exploring cities and the desert. The summer months (June to August) can get extremely hot in the Sahara, while the winter months (December to February) bring very cold nights in the desert and snow in the Atlas Mountains.
To confirm your private desert tour, we require a small deposit in advance, which can be easily paid through secure online methods. The remaining balance can then be paid in cash (either in Euros, US Dollars, or Moroccan Dirhams) directly to your driver on the very first day of your trip.
