"The perfect Marrakech to Fes itinerary"

"We'd done the Marrakech to Fes train before. Doing it this way — through the Atlas, the desert and the Sahara — was a completely different Morocco. We'll never go back to the train."

"Ziz Valley on day 3 was spectacular"

"Nobody mentions the Ziz Gorge but it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen — a green river winding through red rock canyons with date palms below. Our guide was the first person to show us this."

"Fes medina guide was world-class"

"The Fes guide on day 4 was the highlight for us — his explanation of the tanneries history, the medieval water system and the souk layout made everything make sense. Exceptional knowledge."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the 5-day version includes 2 Sahara nights. Day 3 becomes a full Sahara activity day (sandboarding, 4×4 dune excursion, nomad village visit) before continuing to Fes on day 4 with the guided medina day on day 5.

Yes — you can be dropped at your Fes hotel on day 3 evening (after the Sahara) and explore Fes independently. We recommend keeping the guide as the Fes medina is very disorienting without expert help.
