DAY 1 : FES – IFRAN – AZROU – MIDELT - ZIZ VALLEY – MERZOUGA

After pickup, your 4-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour begins with a scenic drive through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains — the natural divide between northern Morocco and the pre-Sahara region. Our first stop is Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine charm.

Next, we travel along the edge of the Cedar Forest to Azrou, passing diverse woodlands home to endangered Barbary macaque monkeys. The route continues through Tizi Ntalghamt, where the stunning Ziz Gorges carve a rocky path leading to the lush Tafilalt oases.

We pause for a delicious lunch in Errachidia before continuing toward Erfoud and Rissani, with panoramic views over the Ziz Valley. Finally, you’ll arrive in Merzouga, where a refreshing glass of traditional mint tea awaits you at the riad. Relax and enjoy the peaceful desert ambiance from the riad’s viewpoint before your overnight stay.

DAY 2 : MERZOUGA AREA EXPLORATION - CAMEL TREK - CAMPFIRE

On the second day of your 4-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour, start early to witness the mesmerizing Sahara sunrise before enjoying breakfast at the riad, offering a glimpse into local daily life. Your desert adventure from Fes continues around the stunning dunes, passing through Merzouga oasis, traditional nomadic settlements, and the vibrant Khamlia village—home to the unique music and culture of the Gnawa people.

Next, visit the beautiful Merzouga lake, famous for its graceful flamingos. Then, head to the historic city of Rissani, the birthplace of several Moroccan kings, where you can explore the lively souk filled with spices, fresh produce, and local crafts.

After a warm mint tea welcome at a nomadic camp, embark on an unforgettable Erg Chebbi camel ride led by an expert guide, discovering the vast golden dunes. As the day ends, relax in traditional nomad tents, enjoy a spectacular desert sunset, and savor dinner by the campfire. Upon request, experience live performances by Berber nomad musicians with traditional drumming and dancing. For your comfort, the camp provides western-style bathrooms and showers.

DAY 3 : MERZOUGA – TODGHA GORGE – DADES VALLEY

Your camel guide will gently wake you early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the iconic Erg Chebbi dunes — a memory you’ll cherish forever. The camel ride back to Merzouga village allows you to fully absorb the unique beauty of this vast desert landscape.

After a hearty breakfast at the riad, the 4-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour continues toward the spectacular Dades Valley, famously known as the “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs.” Along the way, we pass through Rissani and Erfoud, an archaeological treasure rich in fossils and dotted with traditional rural houses spread across Morocco’s largest oasis.

Next, the journey takes you through Tinghir, arriving at the impressive Todra Gorges — the highest and narrowest gorges in Morocco, and one of the country’s most breathtaking natural wonders. As you drive through the Dades Valley, admire majestic sand castles, fascinating rock formations called “monkey toes,” and charming Berber villages.

Upon arrival at your riad or hotel, enjoy a guided visit to the stunning sunset viewpoint on Tssidrine road. End the day with a relaxing overnight stay, soaking in the serene atmosphere of the valley.

Our journey then takes us to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, offering breathtaking views and a glimpse into Morocco’s rich history.
