FAQ
Frequently asked
Which airport do I fly home from?
Fez. This is a one-way trip: you arrive in Marrakech on day 1 and leave from Fez on day 7. Do not book a return flight to Marrakech — you need to land in Marrakech and depart from Fez. The private transfer to Fez airport is included.
How many nights in each place?
Two in Marrakech (days 1 and 2), one in the Dades Valley (day 3), one in the Sahara (day 4) and two in Fez (days 5 and 6). Seven days, six nights.
Which meals are included?
Every breakfast, and two dinners: the one in the Dades Valley and the one at the desert camp. In Marrakech and Fez you eat out on your own, which is half the point of being in those two cities.
How does this differ from the 7-day trip to Tangier?
The first four days are identical. After that, the other one swaps the second Fez night for a night in Chefchaouen and flies out of Tangier or Tetouan. This one keeps two nights in Fez and flies out of Fez. If Chefchaouen is calling you, take the other; if you would rather see Fez properly, take this one.
What is there between the desert and Fez?
Day 5 is a drive with stops: the Ziz Valley, Midelt, Ifrane — which they call little Moroccan Switzerland — and the cedar forest at Azrou, home to the Barbary macaques. It is not just a transfer day.
How much time is there for Fez?
All of day 6. A guided tour in the morning: the Royal Palace, the Mellah, Bab Bou Jeloud, the medieval medina with its souks and tanneries, and the Al Quaraouiyine madrasa. The afternoon is free to go back to whatever caught you.
Which days are spent mostly driving?
Day 3, leaving Marrakech at 07:30 and crossing the High Atlas, and day 5, from the desert to Fez. The rest are short or spent sightseeing.
