The best seasons for a 3-day desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech are spring and autumn, when temperatures are milder, making your journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
In spring, the desert blooms with colorful flora, adding vibrancy to the vast landscape, while autumn provides a cool respite from the intense summer heat. These seasons also bring fewer crowds, allowing for a quieter, more intimate desert experience.
Although daytime temperatures can exceed 100°F (38°C), the desert cools Off dramatically at night, sometimes approaching freezing. Packing layered clothing is essential: lightweight, breathable fabrics for daytime and warmer, insulating layers for the night. Additionally, bringing a sleeping bag suited for fluctuating temperatures ensures a restful overnight stay.
Don’t forget Sun protection—high-SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat are vital to shield yourself from the strong desert sun. Staying hydrated is equally important in the arid environment, so carry a refillable water bottle and ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the trip.
Note: Always confirm the details with your tour operator before booking.
