Frequently asked questions

Does this trip end in Fes rather than returning to Marrakech?
Yes. It is a one-way journey from Marrakech to Fes over three days, so return transport from Fes is not included — plan your onward travel from there.
What is included?
Private 4x4 transport throughout, an English/French-speaking guide, two nights of riad accommodation, daily breakfast, and all transfers and tolls. Lunches, dinners, and tips are not included.
How demanding is it?
Easy. The distance is covered by private 4x4 with stops along the way, so the effort is limited to short walks at the sights rather than any trekking.
What kind of accommodation is it?
Two nights in riads — traditional courtyard guesthouses — with breakfast each morning.

Why book with us directly

Booking platforms charge operators 25–40% commission. Booking direct means the money stays with the family and the guides who walk with you — and you deal with the people running the trek, not a call centre.
