Tours from Fes
Leave the old medina of Fes for cedar forests, the Ziz Valley and the golden dunes of Merzouga, then continue south to Marrakech or return to Fes.
Start in Fes
From the Medina to the Dunes.
Fes is the closest imperial city to the Sahara. Heading south, the road climbs through Ifrane and the cedar forests of Azrou, then drops into the palm-filled Ziz Valley on its way to Merzouga.
From the Erg Chebbi dunes, you can return to Fes or continue west through the Todra Gorge, the Dades Valley and Aït Ben Haddou to Marrakech, the classic way to cross Morocco.
