3 days from Marrakech to Fes via desert reviews

The best Marrakech desert tour in 3 days!

I booked the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes. Said was a great driver and even made a fun music playlist for when we had no radio service. He was very open to whenever I wanted to stop or take pictures. The tent hotel that was arranged for the night in the Sahara was excellent! The dinner there was delicious, with unexpected food surprises. All comforts were thought of.  If there was an activity that I didn't want to do, the tour adopted it for me. I saw so many great things in the 3 days I spent on the tour. Meeting a Bedouin community and riding a camel on the sand dunes were all highlights. It was very memorable, mostly for the kindness of everyone!

3 days desert tour from Marrakech

We booked a 3 Sahara desert tour from Marrakech to Fes. It was the nicest excursion I could have asked for since it was the highlight of my Morocco vacation. Said is really easy to work with and responsive. Not only did he assist me with this trip, but he also supplied other useful information such as the railway station and cell phone provider. Our driver, Mohamed, was fluent in English and gave us a fantastic tour. He also showed us other local sites and restaurants that were not on the schedule. He listens to what you have to say and makes suggestions. Mohamed was usually on time and returned our calls. This vacation was meticulously planned, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. so happy with the services and decided to book another day trip to Chefchaouen from Fes with MDS. We were very happy

Great times with great people

In June, my friend and I traveled to Morocco. We booked a private 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes. We had an incredible time. The night in the Sahara desert was a dream, especially with all of the stars. Lunch with a local family was both entertaining and educational. Mohamed, our driver, was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely return to Morocco.

The region is also home to a rich cultural history, with Berber communities that have lived in the mountains for centuries.

Located near the town of Tinghir, the Todra Gorges are some of the most impressive natural formations in Morocco. The towering cliffs of the gorge rise up to 300 meters, creating a dramatic and breathtaking landscape. The area is popular for hiking, rock climbing, and photography, and the lush riverbank provides a stunning contrast to the surrounding desert.
