This carefully crafted itinerary guides you through a diverse tapestry of Moroccan landscapes and cultural treasures. Journey from the vibrant city of Marrakech to the majestic Sahara Desert dunes of Merzouga, traversing historic Kasbahs and authentic local villages, for an immersive exploration of Morocco’s unique sights and flavors.
The 3-day tour will begin in Marrakech, heading towards Merzouga via the Dades Valley and the High Atlas Mountains. There will be occasional stops to take in the scenic views and Berber villages, including the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. This Kasbah has been featured in over 20 international films and is recognized as a significant fort along the ancient Salt Road, where caravans transported commodities such as gold, ivory, salt, and silk to Marrakech and other locations. After passing through Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Africa for its film industry, the tour will proceed through Skoura and Kalaat M’gouna ( rose town), where visitors can experience the rose valley and various products derived from roses. The journey will continue to Dades Valley, home to several Berber villages, where overnight accommodations will be provided.
After breakfast, the tour continues to the Sahara Desert, passing through Berber villages and the scenic landscapes of Todra Gorges, Tinjdad, and Tinghir. There will be stops for photographs and to observe the views. We will start with a visit to Todra Gorges, to walk through the canyon. The next stop is in Erfoud, a town noted for its fossil mining. The trip then proceeds to Merzouga. Upon arrival at the camel area, a camel trek will take you to the sunset view before continuing to the luxury camp situated among the sand dunes. The evening includes dinner accompanied by traditional Berber music. The night will be at the camp.
On the final day of your three-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes, an early rise will greet you with the stunning sight of the sun rising over the dunes. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, the trip will once more take you through the enchanting Ziz Valley, where we will take in magical scenery. Then we will drive toward the cedar forest. There, we will feed the wild macaque monkeys. Later, we will go to one of the cleanest and most charming cities. Ifrane is known in Morocco as “little Switzerland” because it is located high in the Atlas Mountains and is known to get snow during the winter season. The culmination of our journey and exciting adventure will be the drive to Fez, where you will arrive in this lovely city around 6:00 pm. Our 3-day tour from Marrakech ends with a transfer to your hotel or riad in Fes.
Our 3-day journey from Marrakech to Fes through the Desert, was one of the best experiences we have ever had. From the moment we started, everything was perfectly organized. We crossed the impressive High Atlas Mountains, visited the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, and enjoyed the beautiful landscapes of Dades Valley and Todra Gorges. The highlight of the trip was arriving in the Sahara Desert, riding camels during sunset, and spending a magical night in the desert camp.
