The Sahara on the way north
If your trip continues from Marrakech to Fes, there is no better way to travel than through the desert. These one-way tours cross the Atlas, spend a night in the Merzouga dunes and drop you in Fes, saving you the long drive back to Marrakech.
The route is fixed; the time and comfort are not.
The standard: Atlas, gorges, a night in the dunes, then north to Fes. Comfortable pace.
Faster and cheaper but very long driving days. For tight schedules only.
Same route with a private-bathroom tent in the dunes.
All include transport, a driver-guide, a camel ride and a night in a desert camp.
A one-way version that starts in Marrakech and ends in Fes, so you see the Sahara and save a day of backtracking. Ideal if Fes is your next stop anyway.
