Need to get from Marrakech to Fes and want the Sahara on the way? This private two-day transfer tour does both. Day one crosses the High Atlas and follows the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Merzouga, arriving for a sunset camel ride and a night in a camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes. Day two heads north through the Ziz valley, the Middle Atlas and the cedar forests near Ifrane to Fes. The days are long, so this tour suits travellers who want the desert but have little time. With one more day, our 3-day version adds a night in the Dades valley.
