Fes to Marrakech desert tour

Fes is Morocco’s cultural and spiritual center; its spectacular medina is the country’s greatest pedestrian-friendly metropolitan area, with 9,600 lanes with really no automobiles or motorcycles allowed. Fes is genuine, a full package where the artisans produce for the inhabitants, in the same manner, they have for generations. Tourism is merely a benefit; it’s still a breathing historic city.

The Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour is indeed the ideal way to see the finest of what Morocco has to serve, including the High Mountain Range and its cedar woodlands, lush green oasis, sand dunes, gorges, and kasbahs. Although the trip encompasses a wide range of Morocco in a small period of time, the breathtaking landscape will keep you entertained.
