Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech - High Atlas - Ait Ben Haddou - Ouarzazate - Dades Valley

Your trip starts in Marrakech in the morning. After pickup from your hotel or riad, we drive towards the High Atlas Mountains. The road climbs through Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where the views are wide and beautiful. Small Berber villages are scattered across the hills, and there are many places to stop for photos.

Later, we arrive at one of the best-known sites in Morocco for an Ait Ben Haddou tour. This old fortified village is famous for its mud-brick buildings and its place in many films and series. Walking through its narrow paths is like stepping into another time.

After lunch, we continue to Ouarzazate, a city often called the gate of the desert. From here, the road leads past palm groves and old kasbahs. In the late afternoon, we reach Dades Valley, where you will have dinner and spend the night in a comfortable guesthouse or hotel.

Day 2: Dades Valley - Todra Gorge - Erfoud - Merzouga

After breakfast, we leave Dades and continue through the changing landscapes of the south. The next stop is Todra Gorge, a natural canyon with very high rock walls and a fresh stream running below. It is one of the most impressive places on this 3 day Marrakech to Fes desert tour.

From Todra, we drive towards Erfoud, a town known for fossils and desert stone. The scenery becomes more open and dry as we get closer to the Sahara. By the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, where the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi rise from the horizon.

Here begins the most special part of your trip: the camel trek Erg Chebbi. You ride across the dunes during the best light of the day, when the sand changes color and the desert becomes calm and silent. This moment is a true highlight of any desert tour Marrakech to Fes.

At the camp, you will enjoy dinner, local music, and a peaceful night in the desert under the stars.

Wake up early if you want to see the sunrise over the dunes. It is one of the most beautiful moments in the Sahara. After breakfast, we leave the desert and begin the northern part of the journey from Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga.

The road passes through the Ziz Valley, a long green oasis lined with palm trees. We then continue to Midelt, a quiet town between the mountains. As we move farther north, the landscape changes again. Forests begin to appear, and near Azrou you may see Barbary macaques in the cedar woods.

Before reaching Fes, we stop in Ifrane, a clean and peaceful town with a very different style from the desert south. In the evening, we arrive in Fes, where your 3 day Marrakech to Fes desert tour comes to an end.
