Fes is one of the world’s great ancient cities — a UNESCO-listed medina unchanged for over 1,000 years, home to the world’s oldest university, and the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. It is also one of the best departure points for Morocco desert tours heading south to the Sahara.
From Fes, the road to the Sahara passes through the Middle Atlas Mountains, the Ziz Gorges, the Ziz Valley palm oasis, and finally the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Morocco Desert Discovery operates 6 expertly curated tours from Fes, including the legendary Fes to Marrakech Sahara circuit.
