Flat fare, door-to-door, premium vehicles
From Fes to the Erg Chebbi dunes
~470 km, 7 to 8 hours: Fes is the northern gateway to the Sahara. The road crosses the Middle Atlas (Ifrane, the Azrou cedars, Midelt) then descends via Errachidia to Merzouga. A real travel day — ideal as a 1-2 day tour, at a fixed price confirmed in advance.
Why a private driver on this route?
- Stunning stops: Ifrane ("little Switzerland"), Azrou cedars and monkeys, Middle Atlas landscapes.
- Long-distance comfort: recent air-conditioned vehicle, meal breaks, your own pace.
- Desert arrival: sunset over the dunes, a coordinated bivouac night.
- Often a tour: Fes → Merzouga → Marrakech (3-4 days) via the gorges.
