Per GroupOVERVIEW
Take a five-day private crossing from Marrakech to Fes through the Atlas and southern Morocco. This route includes the Dades region, Mharech and Merzouga rather than simply adding a spare night to a three-day itinerary.
The journey combines paved mountain roads with a southern desert stage before reaching Erg Chebbi. After the camp experience and additional time near Merzouga, the final day follows the Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas to Fes. Four overnight stays are included in the selected package, with the accommodation level selected separately.
DESCRIPTION – Marrakech to Fes: 5-Day Private Trip
The five-day private route adds a southern overnight at Mharech before continuing to Merzouga. That stage gives the journey its own shape rather than simply adding another city day to the direct Marrakech–Fes road route.
The High Atlas, Ait Ben Haddou and Dades introduce the south before the Mharech and desert sections. The included camel approach connects with the camp stay, and an additional Merzouga-region day comes before the final journey through the Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas.
Four nights with half board are included in the selected accommodation arrangement. Lunches, drinks, kasbah or film-studio admissions and the Ait Ben Haddou local guide remain separate. The journey ends in Fes, so use the final arrival details when organising your onward city stay.

Planning Your Five-Day Marrakech to Fes Route
The five-day Marrakech to Fes journey includes the southern Mharech stage as well as additional time around Merzouga. Compare the actual overnight sequence when choosing between the four-day and five-day options. The difference is in the route and places visited, rather than simply one extra hotel night.
Your Marrakech to Fes confirmation should identify the four accommodation nights and the selected camp category. Half board does not include lunches and drinks, and the listed exclusions also cover relevant kasbah and film-studio admission. Any luxury-tent air-conditioning supplement must be agreed separately rather than inferred from an illustrative desert photograph.

Itinerary for Marrakech to Fes: 5-Day Private Trip
Cross the High Atlas from Marrakech towards Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate. The first day combines mountain scenery with the earthen-architecture setting before continuing towards the Dades area for the overnight. Allow time on foot at the ksar, where the lanes and viewpoints involve uneven ground and steps. The English-speaking driver coordinates the private transport and road stops. The Ait Ben Haddou local guide and any kasbah or film-studio admission are separate from the package. Dinner and breakfast are included with the night's half-board accommodation; lunch and drinks are separate.
Continue from Dades towards the southern desert stage at Mharech. This additional overnight changes the shape of the five-day route, extending the journey beyond the direct approach to Merzouga. Watch how the valley landscape gives way to drier settlements and open southern scenery. The day's exact road arrangement follows the selected programme and the conditions. Keep the time available for the journey and use the planned meal and comfort breaks. The booked Mharech-area accommodation provides the second overnight, with dinner and breakfast under the half-board arrangement.
Leave the Mharech area and continue towards Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. The day brings the journey to its camp stage, with the final approach arranged around the included camel experience. Keep the belongings needed overnight in a small, manageable bag. At camp, the selected tent category determines the facilities and room arrangement. Dinner and breakfast are included, while a luxury-tent air-conditioning supplement is separate when applicable. Follow the local team's instructions for boarding, the camel route and the arrival at the booked camp.
Remain in the Merzouga region for an additional day before the final journey to Fes. Use the time for the local visits specified in the selected programme, with the pace coordinated around the desert setting and the party's interests. This stage provides room to appreciate the area beyond the camp approach without adding another long intercity drive immediately. Any extra activity should be agreed as part of the booking rather than assumed from photographs. Return to the booked Merzouga-area accommodation for the fourth overnight and half-board stay.
Travel north via the Rissani and Ziz Valley route towards the Middle Atlas and Ifrane before arriving in Fes. The scenery changes through the day, with stops for meals, refreshments and comfort fitted around a substantial road journey. The five-day tour ends in Fes rather than returning to Marrakech. Use the agreed drop-off details when arranging your own accommodation for that evening, and avoid a tightly timed onward connection. Lunches and drinks during the route remain separate from the included half-board accommodation.
