It's also the city where Fez Cultural Tours was founded, so when you book a private tour in Fes, your guide is someone who grew up inside these ancient walls.

2 Day Desert: Fez → Merzouga & Back

Ifrane, Morocco's alpine "Switzerland" at 1,665 metresAzrou cedar forest with wild Barbary macaquesZiz Valley, 70 km of date palms through ochre canyon walls

The Sahara Desert is approximately 7–8 hours from Fez. This private 2-day tour packs in Morocco's best-known natural wonder: a sunset camel trek into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes, a night under the Saharan stars with live Berber music, and a pre-dawn climb to watch sunrise paint the dunes, then gets you back to Fez by the next afternoon. It's the most time-efficient way to reach the desert from Fez without committing to a longer southbound itinerary, and it works well for travelers based in Fez for several days, or anyone with a free weekend who wants to see the Sahara.

Starting in ancient Fez, you travel northwest through Roman Volubilis and imperial Meknes into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, arguably Morocco's most photogenic city. The final day takes you through Morocco's elegant capital Rabat before finishing at Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. It makes an ideal closing chapter for any Morocco trip, timed well for travelers flying home from Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport.

Fez Wellness & Artisan Retreat

Private traditional hammam: black soap, kessa glove, rhassoul clayZellige tilework workshop with a master artisan inside the medinaMoroccan cooking class: tagine, preserved lemon, fresh herbs

A private four-day wellness retreat rooted in the living traditions of Fez el-Bali, the oldest and largest medieval medina in the Arab world. No yoga mat required. This is Morocco's own centuries-old wellness: the hammam ritual of black soap, kessa glove, and rhassoul clay; the meditative focus of a zellige tilework workshop with a master craftsman; the grounding act of cooking a traditional Moroccan meal by hand in a riad kitchen. You stay inside the medina itself, wake to the call to prayer, and move through one of the world's great living cities at the pace of someone who actually belongs there.

Women's Wellness Journey: Fez to Marrakech

Private traditional hammam in Fez el-Bali: full ritual treatmentZellige tilework workshop with a master artisan in the medinaSahara desert sunrise: silence, dunes, and first light at Erg Chebbi

A private seven-day wellness journey designed for women who want to travel deeply, not just visit. Beginning in the ancient medina of Fez (hammam, zellige workshop, riad living), the journey moves south through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the Sahara at Erg Chebbi, where the silence of the desert at dawn is its own form of restoration. A home-cooked Berber family lunch, a women-run argan oil cooperative in the Atlas foothills, and a cooking class in a Marrakech riad kitchen complete a journey that is as much about connection as it is about discovery. Everything is private and entirely customisable to your group.

Fez el-Bali, the largest car-free urban medina in the worldVolubilis Roman ruins and the Middle Atlas cedar forestA night in a luxury desert camp among the dunes of Erg Chebbi, Merzouga

This eight-day route runs the full length of the classic Morocco circuit from Fez: imperial city, Roman ruins, Middle Atlas cedar forest, Sahara dunes, southern kasbah valleys, and the High Atlas, ending in Marrakech. It covers the same ground as shorter Fez-to-Marrakech desert tours but with an extra day built in around Merzouga and the Dades and Todra valleys, enough time to see the south properly rather than simply pass through it.

13-Day: Grand Morocco from Fez

Fez el-Bali and an overnight in the blue city of ChefchaouenVolubilis Roman ruins and the imperial city of MeknesA night under the stars in a luxury Sahara desert camp

This is our longest itinerary from Fez: a full loop through the north, the Sahara, the southern kasbah valleys, Marrakech, and the Atlantic coast before returning. It suits travelers who want to see Morocco properly rather than skim the highlights, with enough built-in time in each region (two nights in Chefchaouen, four in Marrakech, two on the coast) that the trip never feels rushed between stops.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fez Tours

Are Fez Cultural Tours private?

Yes, all Fez Cultural Tours are 100% private. You will never share your vehicle or guide with strangers. Every tour is exclusively for you and your group, allowing us to tailor the pace and stops to your preferences.

Can I visit Chefchaouen or Volubilis and Meknes from Fez?

Yes, though we route them as stops within a private multi-day tour rather than standalone day trips. Chefchaouen (3 hours, Morocco's famous blue city in the Rif Mountains) and Volubilis & Meknes (1 hour, Roman ruins and the imperial city of Moulay Ismail) both feature on our multi-day routes between Fez and Casablanca, with a licensed guide throughout.

How long does it take to drive from Fez to the Sahara desert?

The Sahara dunes at Merzouga (Erg Chebbi) are approximately 7–8 hours from Fez by private car via the Middle Atlas and Ziz Valley. We recommend a 2-day or 3-day tour to break the journey properly: overnight in Midelt or Erfoud, then camel trek at sunset and sleep in a desert camp before returning via a different route.

Is Fez a good base for exploring Morocco?

Fez is ideally positioned for both the northern Morocco circuit (Chefchaouen, Tetouan, Asilah) and as a gateway to the Sahara. It is also one of four imperial cities (along with Marrakech, Meknes, and Rabat), making the city itself a major destination. Many travelers start a north-to-south Morocco tour in Fez and end in Marrakech, or vice versa.

Can I book a one-way tour from Fez to Marrakech?

Yes. Our most popular one-way Fez-to-Marrakech routes cross the Middle Atlas, descend into the Ziz Valley, spend a night in the Sahara dunes at Merzouga, then continue through the Dades Gorge and Ouarzazate before arriving in Marrakech. These tours run from 3 to 7 days.
