Fes – Marrakech
After an early breakfast at your hotel or riad in Fez, your English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up as early as possible, 07h00 AM in wintertime, and 08h00 AM in summer ( that will allow you enough driving time to catch the sunset in Erg Chebbi ). Your Sahara Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech will start crossing the plains of Saiss towards the Cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains, past Ifran and Azrou. You can spot Barbary apes on the side of the road and stop for some photos. Continue to Midelt, where you will stop for lunch. From here, you will carry on crossing the Ziz River. Continue driving past thousands of sky-scraping palm trees and fortified Kasbahs to Erfoud, then to Merzouga. After a quick rest, get ready for a spectacular sunset camel ride across the Erg Chebbi dunes. Get the chance to admire the long-talked-about color-changing sunset before continuing to your luxury Sahara Desert Camp. Freshen up before you get ready for dinner served under the stars while entertained by the local nomads playing their Tam-tam drums.
After an early sunrise camel ride, meet your guide in Merzouga. Today, the drive will feature one beautiful scene after another, including the stunning oasis of Tinghir, where you will be able to take a walk along the Todgha riverbank, visit Berber villages, and learn about the lifestyle of the local inhabitants. Continue your walk to the magnificent Todgha Canyons, and treat yourself to a delicious lunch at a local cafe.
In the afternoon, drive along the road of the Casbahs to Dades Valley before you arrive at your boutique guest house.
After breakfast, drive along the Valley of the Roses to Kalaa Mgouna. You might visit one of the Rosewater cooperatives and learn how the locals prepare rose-scented perfumes based on distilled rose water.
We continue to Ouarzazate past Skoura oasis, famous for its date palm trees, then to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, where you will have lunch before visiting the Kasbah. This UNESCO world heritage site served as a set for various Hollywood movies, fashion, and commercial shootings. The Kasbah is well preserved and consists of various Kasbahs packed together and appearing as a single unit.
In the afternoon, we begin our descent through the Atlas Mountains past Tizi Ntichka Pass, passing by various Berber villages with houses built with stones and mud. You immediately notice that life here never changed centuries ago !! and most of the locals are shepherds.
We arrive in Marrakech late afternoon, and your driver will take you to your riad or hotel.
End of your private 3 days Fes to Marrakech desert tour.
