3 days Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour

Embark on the first day of our journey with an early pick-up. In the morning, your driver will greet you at your hotel or riad, marking the beginning of an unforgettable adventure. Traverse the majestic High Atlas Mountains en route to the iconic Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou—a UNESCO World Heritage site. This historic location, featuring a walled town protected by Kasbahs, has served as the captivating backdrop for numerous Hollywood blockbusters, including Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia. Fans of A Game of Thrones will recognize it from the final scene of series three.

Following a guided walk through the village, proceed to Ouarzazate for a leisurely lunch. In the early afternoon, journey northeast towards Boumalne Dades. As the sun sets, drive along the Dades River, enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Arrive at the Dades Gorges, where a brief stop allows you to marvel at the impressive surroundings. Conclude the day at a hotel, where a delightful dinner awaits, and you can rest for the night.

Embark on one of the most unforgettable experiences of your Morocco adventure as you venture into the enchanting dunes of the Erg Chebbi region in the Sahara Desert. Following a hearty breakfast, your day’s journey unfolds along the famed Road of 1001 Kasbahs, leading to Tinghir, a picturesque oasis. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings with an hour-long walk along the river bank, culminating at the Todgha Gorges. Take some leisure time to appreciate the breathtaking scenery before indulging in a delightful lunch.

In the early afternoon, your exploration continues to Merzouga, where an awaiting camel caravan invites you to a unique adventure. Mount your camel and traverse the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, relishing in the mesmerizing hues of the approaching sunset. Just before dusk settles in, arrive at your Sahara desert camp nestled amid the sand dunes. Here, beneath the twinkling stars, savor a delectable Moroccan dinner while local nomads create a rhythmic ambiance with their drumming around the campfire.

If you’re eager to greet the dawn and witness the sun’s enchanting journey, casting a cool blue hue over the morning sky before transforming into a radiant ball of fire, your desert camp hosts will rouse you early for this captivating spectacle—don’t forget to capture iconic photographs for your social media. Following this memorable experience, you’ll return to a local hotel where a warm shower and a hearty breakfast await.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive along the Ziz River, adorned with an astonishing oasis of palm trees and fortified Ksours (castles). The journey leads you to Midelt, a charming town nestled in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, where a lunch stop awaits. In the afternoon, traverse the Middle Atlas Mountains en route to Fes. As you progress, you’ll witness a remarkable transformation in the landscape: from snow-capped mountains and cedar forests to lush vegetation, offering a stark contrast to the arid and rocky terrains of the earlier part of the tour.
