3 Day Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga

Depart Fes in the morning and drive through the scenic Middle Atlas. Stop in Ifrane, known for its alpine architecture, and continue to the cedar forest of Azrou, home to Barbary macaques. Journey through the vast Ziz Valley, with its thousands of palm trees, before reaching the edge of the Sahara in Merzouga. Ride camels across the dunes to your desert camp and enjoy a traditional dinner with Berber music around the fire.

After sunrise and breakfast in the camp, continue to the historical market town of Rissani, then on to the towering red cliffs of the Todgha Gorges. Enjoy a short walk in the canyon before traveling along the Dades Valley, where unique rock formations and ancient kasbahs await. Overnight in a comfortable guesthouse with panoramic mountain views.

Travel through the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs, stopping at the film studios in Ouarzazate, and explore Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village featured in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Cross the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas before arriving in Marrakech in the early evening.
