Best 4 Days Tour From Marrakech To Fes :
Here are some solid tour-options for exploring the Sahara Desert Tours from both Marrakech and Fes in Morocco — plus what to expect & how to pick one that fits you.
– Private Marrakech To Fes Zagora Desert & Merzouga Desert Tour Highlights
Many tours head to the famous dunes at Erg Chebbi (near Merzouga) in the Sahara.
Sunset and sunrise over the dunes, camel rides, nights in desert camps — common features.
Routes often include dramatic landscapes: Atlas Mountains, gorges, kasbahs, valleys.
– Morocco Desert Tour From Marrakech
There are 3-day, 4-day, 5-day (even more) tours leaving from Marrakech that go to the Sahara (Erg Chebbi) and sometimes return to Marrakech.
Example: the “Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech” includes nights in guest-houses and a desert camp with camel ride.
Good for: when you’re based in Marrakech, want desert + mountain + kasbahs experience.

Because it’s a long drive (several hours each day) you’ll spend time in the car. e.g., from Marrakech to Merzouga is around 560 km and it’s split over travel days.
If you only have a short time (weekend) it may feel rushed. One-day desert trips from Marrakech tend to go to closer “semi-deserts” (not full Sahara) and reviewers say they’re less satisfying.
Make sure the desert camp accommodation & transport conditions are clearly defined in advance.
– Sahara Desert Tour From Fes
There are 2-day, 3-day, 4-day tours from Fes to the Sahara (Erg Chebbi) and sometimes onward to Marrakech.
Example: 3 days from Fes into the desert, returning or continuing.
Good for: when you start in or near Fes, or want a slightly different route (via Middle Atlas etc).
Tips:
The roads and durations are still significant. A shorter 2-day option exists but will be more intense.
Check if the tour ends in Fes or continues to Marrakech, depending on your onward travel plans.

What to check & ask before booking
Are transport, driver/guide included? What kind of vehicle (4×4, minivan)?
How many nights in desert camp? How comfortable is the camp?
What activities: camel ride at sunset or sunrise, sand boarding, 4×4 dune driving?
How much driving per day? Are there interesting stops (Atlas pass, gorges, kasbahs) or is it mostly travel?
Group vs private tour: smaller groups often mean more flexibility. For example, one operator emphasises “small groups” and “local expertise”.
Time of year: desert nights can be cold; make sure clothing matches.
Reviews: For example, some people on Reddit reported poor experience with rushed schedules and extra stops to retail.
