Local advice
Planning Tours from Fes: Advice from Our Team
Why start in Fes
Fes is the cultural heart of Morocco and the imperial city closest to the Sahara. Its old medina, Fes el-Bali, is a car-free maze of lanes, workshops and tanneries, and a local guide makes all the difference on your first day. From Fes, the road to Merzouga crosses the Middle Atlas cedar forests, and Meknes, Volubilis and Chefchaouen are all within a few hours.
Typical routes from Fes
The favorite is Fes to Marrakech via the Sahara in three or four days: Ifrane and Azrou, the Ziz Valley, a night in the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga, then the Todra Gorge, the Dades Valley and Aït Ben Haddou. Other trips return to Fes after the desert, or head north to Chefchaouen and Tangier. For a single day out, Meknes and Volubilis or Chefchaouen are the classic choices.
Chefchaouen is about three and a half hours from Fes by road, through Ouazzane and into the Rif. Read our Chefchaouen guide to decide between a day trip and a night there.
How many days you need
Give Fes itself two nights: one full day in the medina with a guide and some time to rest. Fes to Merzouga is about 470 km, seven to eight hours with stops, so three days is the minimum for a Fes to Marrakech desert crossing, and four is more relaxed. A week lets you add Chefchaouen.
Arriving at Fes–Saïss Airport
Fes–Saïss Airport (FEZ) is about 15 km south of the city, a 20 to 30 minute drive. Many travelers reach Fes by train from Casablanca or Tangier instead. Either way, your driver meets you at arrivals or at the station. Cars can’t enter the old medina, so your riad usually sends someone to walk you in from the nearest gate.
Best season
April, May, late September and October are the sweet spot for both the medina and the desert. Fes gets hot in July and August, often above 35°C (95°F), and winters are cold and wet, with snow possible around Ifrane from December to February.

Fes Tours FAQ
Yes. Your driver meets you at Fes–Saïss Airport or at Fes railway station, then takes you to your riad. Because cars can’t enter the old medina, the riad usually walks you in from the nearest gate.

About 470 km, or seven to eight hours with stops in Ifrane, Azrou and the Ziz Valley. It is a full day, but a scenic one.
Two nights is a good minimum: one full day in the medina with a local guide and some time to rest. Add a third night for a day trip to Meknes and Volubilis or Chefchaouen.
Not really. A two-day return trip means long drives and only one evening in the dunes. Choose three or four days if you want time to enjoy the desert.
