Frequently asked
Merzouga to Fes questions.
How long is the drive from Merzouga to Fes?
Expect 470 km and close to 6h 30 of chauffeured driving via Ifrane, Midelt & Ziz gorges, exclusive of any stops you choose to make. On the longer passages we plan generous pauses into the day, and a mountain pass is never hurried.
How much does a private Merzouga to Fes transfer cost?
Your tailored, fully inclusive rate is $435 in a sedan (1–3 guests), $565 in a 4x4 (up to 6) or $630 in a minivan (up to 7). Fuel, tolls, your chauffeur and chilled water are all accounted for; settle discreetly in cash on the day or by advance transfer.
Can we stop for photos or sightseeing along the way?
Of course — the freedom to pause at will is the whole point of a private chauffeur rather than a train or shared shuttle. Along this route we are happy to draw to a halt at Ifrane, Midelt & Ziz gorges, or at any vista that catches your eye. Should you wish for a guided interlude, we will arrange it as a curated day excursion instead.
Is it better to drive or take the train from Merzouga to Fes?
No worthwhile rail line serves this passage, so a chauffeured car — a 4x4 over the rougher stretches — is the gracious way to make it: door to door, with stops entirely of your choosing.
