These tours spread the drive over several days and stop where it is worth stopping: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the kasbah of Aït Benhaddou, the Dades valley, the Todra gorge, the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas and the Ziz valley. Every tour includes a private vehicle with an experienced driver, hotels or guesthouses with dinner and breakfast, and a night in the dunes at our own camp. You can start in Marrakech and finish in Fes (or the other way round), so you don't need to go back on yourself. ## How to choose - **You have 3 days:** Go from Marrakech or Fes to Merzouga and back, or travel one way from Marrakech to Fes through the desert. - **You have 4 days:** Slower driving days, more time in the gorges, and an extra afternoon in the dunes. - **You have 5 days or more:** The southern loop from Marrakech, with the palm groves of Skoura, the rose valley and a second night in the desert. - **You are travelling on to another city:** Pick a one-way tour: Marrakech to Fes, or Fes to Marrakech. ## Multi-day tours ### [3-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-merzouga/) Round trip from Marrakech Over the High Atlas, through the gorges, to a night in the dunes. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-merzouga/) ### [3-Day Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-fes-to-merzouga/) Round trip from Fes Cedar forests, the Ziz valley and two days around the dunes. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-fes-to-merzouga/) ### [3-Day Marrakech to Fes via the Sahara](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-fes-via-sahara/) Marrakech to Fes Cross Morocco instead of going back: red city, dunes, old Fes. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-fes-via-sahara/) ### [4-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) Round trip from Marrakech The same road at a slower pace, with two nights near the dunes. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) ### [4-Day Fes to Marrakech via the Sahara](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-fes-to-marrakech-via-sahara/) Fes to Marrakech Fes to Marrakech the beautiful way, with two nights in the desert. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-fes-to-marrakech-via-sahara/) ### [5-Day Southern Morocco & Sahara from Marrakech](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/5-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) Round trip from Marrakech Kasbahs, the Valley of Roses, two gorges and two desert nights. **Price on request** One clear quote, usually within hours [View tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/5-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) ## At a glance Multi-day tours: duration, place and price | Tour | Duration | Where | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [3-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-merzouga/) | 3 days, 2 nights | Round trip from Marrakech | Price on request | | [3-Day Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-fes-to-merzouga/) | 3 days, 2 nights | Round trip from Fes | Price on request | | [3-Day Marrakech to Fes via the Sahara](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/3-day-marrakech-to-fes-via-sahara/) | 3 days, 2 nights | Marrakech to Fes | Price on request | | [4-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) | 4 days, 3 nights | Round trip from Marrakech | Price on request | | [4-Day Fes to Marrakech via the Sahara](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/4-day-fes-to-marrakech-via-sahara/) | 4 days, 3 nights | Fes to Marrakech | Price on request | | [5-Day Southern Morocco & Sahara from Marrakech](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/5-day-desert-tour-from-marrakech/) | 5 days, 4 nights | Round trip from Marrakech | Price on request | ## Questions about multi-day tours More answers on our [FAQ page](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/faq/), or ask us on WhatsApp. **Is a 2-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga possible?** It is possible but we don't recommend it. It means 9 to 10 hours of driving each way and very little time to enjoy the desert. Three days is the shortest trip we think is worth it. **Are the multi-day tours private or shared?** Private by default: the vehicle, the driver and the guide are just for your group. Ask us about small shared groups if you are travelling alone. **What kind of hotels do you use?** Clean, family-run guesthouses and kasbah hotels with private bathrooms, chosen for the welcome and the food. Tell us if you'd like something more upmarket and we'll adjust the price. **Can we change the route?** Yes. Add a night, skip a stop or start in another city. Every multi-day tour can be adjusted, and the price is confirmed before you book. ## Other ways to see the desert 8 tours ### [Camel treks & desert experiences in Merzouga](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/merzouga-desert-experiences/) Short trips that start at the edge of the dunes: a camel ride at sunset, a night at our camp, a morning on a quad or a day exploring the desert by 4x4. 2 tours ### [Private & custom Morocco desert tours](https://merzougaonlinetours.com/tours/private-morocco-tours/) Your own car, your own guide and a plan made with you.
