Fes – Marrakech
Your desert adventure begins with an early departure from Fes, heading south through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane, often called the Switzerland of Morocco, known for its alpine-style architecture and clean streets. Continue to the cedar forests near Azrou, where you may see Barbary macaques among ancient cedar trees.
After lunch, drive through the lush palm groves and dramatic viewpoints of the Ziz Valley, one of Morocco’s most beautiful oases. Arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon, at the edge of the Sahara Desert. Dinner and overnight near the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Spend a full day discovering the magic of the Sahara. Explore the desert by 4×4, visit nomadic families to learn about their traditional lifestyle, and stop in local villages to experience Gnawa music and culture. Enjoy free time to relax or walk among the dunes.
In the late afternoon, embark on a memorable camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun sets over the desert, painting the sky in warm colors. Arrive at your traditional desert camp where you’ll enjoy dinner under the stars, Berber music by the campfire, and overnight in a private tent.
Wake early to admire a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes before breakfast. Leave the desert and travel west toward the Atlas Mountains, passing desert towns and ancient kasbahs. Stop at the spectacular Todgha Gorge, famous for its towering canyon walls and river flowing between red cliffs—perfect for short walks and photos.
Continue through scenic roads to the Dades Valley, known for its dramatic rock formations and lush landscapes. Dinner and overnight in a charming hotel or guesthouse in the valley.
After breakfast, drive along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs toward Ouarzazate, Morocco’s film capital. Visit the iconic Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous filming location for movies and series such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
Continue crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the panoramic Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with stops for photos and breaks along the way. Arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon, marking the end of your unforgettable desert tour.
