Why Start Your Journey in Fes?
While many travelers land in Casablanca, starting your tour in Fes offers distinct advantages that only a local operator can facilitate:
The Gateway to the Sahara
Fes is geographically closer to the Merzouga desert than any other major city. Starting here allows for a more relaxed drive through the Ziz Valley and the palm groves of Tafilalet, ensuring you arrive at the dunes early enough for a sunset camel ride.
Operational Excellence from our Fes Headquarters
Unlike international booking platforms, Morocco Tours Agency is headquartered in Fes. This means:
Expert Local Guides: Our guides grew up in the Fes Medina and know every “derb” (alleyway) and hidden gem.
Real-Time Support: With a team of 120 employees on the ground, we provide 24/7 support for every guest departing from our home city.
Rigorous Quality Control: We personally vet every Riad and transport vehicle departing from our Fes hub.
The Fes-to-Desert Route: What You’ll See
The journey from Fes to the Sahara is one of the most diverse drives in North Africa. When you book with us, your private driver will take you through:
