Great experience worth doing despite a few minor inconveniences.
Positives: spend the night in Sahara desert in a tent (make sure to book ‘luxury’ option for more comfort, unless you want to potentially share room with strangers), a variety of unique experiences (such as visiting a movie studio, taking pics with monkeys in the forest), and sceneries (forests, mountains, canyon, etc.). We had an amazing driver, Mohamed, who made our experience very memorable by providing context of each place we visited and highlighted interesting points about the villages or regions we are passing by.
Negatives: these were relatively minor and not a big deal but good to be aware - ‘luxury’ option is not really Luxury for western standards as it is basic (you get more privacy so don’t share room or bathroom with anyone else), Restaurants we stopped by for lunch were overpriced and food was mediocre, desert tent was very cold in the winter and no heating but they have plenty of blankets though I was still cold and many others reported being cold as well.
Overall, I would strongly recommend 3D2N one-way tour from Fes to Marrakech or vice versa, vs only going to/from Fes for 2D1N.
