Fes and Merzouga are around 460 kilometers away, which is comparable to a lengthy road trip! Depending on traffic and road conditions, that comes to about 7 hours and 15 minutes.
It takes seven hours and thirteen minutes to travel the roughly 467 kilometers between Merzouga and Fes. A common route for getting between the two cities is the N13.
You must pay a small fee in advance to reserve your place on the tour. You can use a bank transfer or PayPal, so it's simple. You will then pay your fantastic tour leader the remaining amount in cash on the first day of your excursion. They will take Moroccan dirhams (their local currency), euros, or dollars.
It takes roughly 1.5 hours to travel by camel from the settlement to the desert camp.

It was an amazing three-day desert journey from Fes to Marrakech! It was a lovely journey through the tiny Berber communities and the Atlas Mountains. The desert tent was tidy and comfortable, and the sunset camel ride in Merzouga was amazing. The service was really kind, and the meal was excellent. I heartily suggest this vacation to anyone traveling to Morocco!

A three-day adventure to remember! From sleeping under the stars in the Sahara to feeding monkeys in the cedar forest, we cherished every moment. Along the route, two stunning locations were Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley. Our driver was helpful and kind, and everything proceeded without a hitch. A trip of a lifetime, indeed!

The best part of our trip to Morocco was this tour. Mountains, kasbahs, and endless sand dunes were among the breathtaking scenery. The Ait Ben Haddou stop was rich in history, and the camel walk was a dream come true. Delicious food, excellent service, and treasured memories.
