An Additional Consideration for Booking a Fes to Marrakech 2-Day Tour

The best times for a desert trip from Fes to Marrakech are spring and autumn, as these seasons offer more moderate temperatures, ensuring a more comfortable and pleasant experience.

In spring, the desert comes alive with blooming flora that adds vibrant colors to the landscape, while autumn provides a refreshing escape from the intense summer heat. Both seasons also tend to have fewer tourists, giving you a more peaceful and intimate experience in the vast desert.

Although the desert can get extremely hot during the day, with temperatures often exceeding 100°F (38°C), it cools significantly at night, sometimes nearing freezing temperatures. Therefore, packing appropriate layers is essential. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for the day and warm, insulating layers for the evening. A well-suited sleeping bag that can handle varying temperatures will enhance your comfort during your overnight stay.

Sun protection is vital in the desert. Be sure to pack high-SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the harsh sun and avoid sunburn. Also, staying hydrated is crucial in this arid climate, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. Carrying a reusable water bottle and refilling it regularly is a good practice.

Note: Always confirm the details with your tour operator before booking.
