“I travelled from Fes to Merzouga desert with KWISKITA. The driver was super, the best of Marocco. The experience was super too. The desert, the stars, the camp stay, all was perfect. Don't be afraid about the long way, because the landscapes that you see along the transfer are amazing. You pass from the desert, to the snow, to the green with canyons and mountains. I recomend this trip and the driver. 5 Stars!”

11.From Fes To Marrakech: 2-Days with Luxury Camp, Desert Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 237 reviews · 2 days · from $133

Travel from Fès to Marrakech with a driver-guide such as Hakim, Ali, Mehdi, or Younes, crossing the Middle Atlas and Ziz Valley before a sunset camel ride into Erg Chebbi. You will sleep in a private luxury tent with a bed, shower, and toilet, then watch the sunrise before a long drive to Marrakech.

“The camel ride from Fez was memorable, and the drive to Marrakech with a kind, helpful driver was pleasant. The staff serving meals were friendly, though their English was limited. However, several issues affected the stay: dinner did not include water and required separate purchase, the toilet in our room wouldn’t flush, and the air conditioning didn’t work all night. Unexpected power outage before dinner allowed us to enjoy the stars, but overall guidance felt unclear—our group of five didn’t have consistent communication or a visible guide after check-in. More fluent English-speaking staff and better maintenance would greatly improve the experience.”
