4-Day Tour From Marrakech to Fez Overview:

Do you have limited time in Morocco? You can still visit the two most important imperial cities of Morocco after spending one night in the Sahara desert.

This also works best for those of you flying into Marrakech and departing from Fes (or vice versa). Although you can do the journey in two nights and three days, we recommend at least three nights and four days so you can enjoy all the sights and activities along the way.
