ITINERARY
Our 3-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Fes offers you the opportunity to have a rich desert experience, where you will ride camels and spend a night in a magical desert camp. On the way you will discover some of the most interesting places in Morocco such as Ifrane, Ceder forest in Azrou, Ziz Valley, Gorges of Todra and Dades Valley, the Ksar of Ait benhadou, the Atlas Mountains and more. This is the best route to travel from Fes and Marrakech if you want to discover more of Morocco on the way and desert experience that you carry with you forever.
1st DAY: Marrakech – Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Roses & Dades Valley
The morning of the Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Fes, our berber driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and set off in the direction of the Merzouga desert by a confortable 4WD, a route filled with rich scenery.
Near Marrakech we cross the High Atlas mountains, reaching an elevation of 2260m above sea level at the Tizi´n tichka pass, the highest mountain pass in North Africa.
On our way of this 3 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert we will stop at the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a fortified village made up of kasbahs, which are built out of adobe (sand, clay, water and sometimes organic material such as straw or manure) which, once molded, is left to dry in the sun. This particular way of building and the materials used gives the sensation that the Kasbah emerges from the landscape. We will tour the site by foot and then have lunch near the Kasbah. After, we continue our journey toward Ouarzazate. With a long and great tradition of filmmaking, Ouarzazate is known as the Moroccan Hollywood, because it is frequently used in film and television productions. You may recognize it from Game of Thrones.
From Ouarzazate we will continue to Skoura, one of the few palm groves that is still inhabited and cultivated in Morocco. It was founded in the 12th century under the Almohad dynasty.The palm grove takes its name from the Berber tribe that lived there at that time, the Haskourene. Since then, several populations have followed one another, including the Arab tribes from the Tafilalet, making Skoura an Arab territory in the Berber country.
After Skoura we continue through the Road of 1000 Kasbahs, the drive is spectacular, with hundreds of typical fortified berber villages lining the route, winding through stunning desert landscapes, villages, palm groves,. In this road we will traverse the so-called Valley of Roses.In spring, the terraced fields that hang above the threaded M’Goun River will be a riot of pink blooms that strike a stunning contrast to the orange, purple, yellow and red banded mountains.
The final stop on this journey is Boumalne Dades, where we will overnight in a riad: a traditional Moroccan house converted into tourist accommodation where you will feel into the Tales from One thousand and one nights
2nd DAY: Dades – Todra Gorges – El Jorf – Erfoud – Merzouga (Night in Erg Chebbi Desert)
After having breakfast in the hotel, we will start the 2nd day of our 3day trip to the Sahara desert. Today the Tafilalt Oasis, Valleys and old Berber Villages are waiting for us on our journey. Our first stop will be the Todra Gorges where you will discover one of the most spectacular canyons in the world. After, we depart for Tenhir andTinjdad, small berber cities. We will stop for lunch in one of them.
The tour of the Sahara Berber Villages and the desert Oasis starts with Erfoud which is also the starting point of the Tafilalt Oasis,the largest Saharan oasis of Morocco. It includes the fortified villages of Erfoud, Arab Sebbah du Ziz, Rissani, Seffalat, Aoufous, and Jorf, along with palm groves stretching 30 miles (50 km).
On our way out of the Oasis, we will enter the Sahara desert, specifically the dunes of the Erg Chebbi,. Our desert adventure starts by riding camels crossing the sand dunes (you can also choose to go by 4×4). We will watch the sunset at the dunes, which is an amazing opportunity to photograph this truly magical scene. This is a great opportunity to take magical photos of the sunset over the dunes.
The camel ride will take us finally to a luxury desert camp. When we get to it, you’ll have time to walk around and admire the sand dunes. In the desert the time stops and you feel a deep tranquility. We will have dinner. Afterwards Berber music around a fire camp and you’ll have free time to walk to the nearest dunes to look up at the blanket of stars. You can find more information about the Sahara experience in the camp tab
3rd DAY: Merzouga Desert- Midlet – Ifrane – Fes
On the last day we will drive to Fes and on the way discover Midlet and Ifrane, the so-called Moroccan Switzerland. We will leave you in your riad (traditional Moroccan accommodation) in Fes.

TESTIMONIALS
“Excellent experience
We had a 4 Days Trip from Marrakesch to the Merzouga Desert and back. The trip was perfect. Our Guide did a great job, was very friendly and we felt us very comfortable with him. Diana, the trip organizer took care of every detail since we contacted her till we were back at home. All journey experience was unforgettable. In desert we stayed in a camp that was really clean and in middle of the desert, we had our own bed and room arrangement. The camel drive, the sunset/ sunrise in desert just lifetime memories! I absolutely worth the money that you pay for that. I highly recommend this company if you like to enjoy Marocco and desert with comfort.
Thank you very much . Hopefully coming back soon for a new Morocco Sahara tour”

“Simply perfect
We dida Morocco Sahara Tour from Marrakech – Sahara Desert – Fes in 4 daysand it was truly a great experience. The trip was very well planned and the people from the agecy took very good care of us. Our driver was great. He shared a lot with us about the Berber way of living and answered all the questions we had about local culture and history. All the stops throughout the way were beautiful and well worth the travelling. The camel trek and the night spent in the dessert were the pinnacle of our holiday in Morocco. The views were breathtaking, the camp was very comfortable and the dinner was delicious. It does get very very cold at night in November so make sure to bring warm clothes with you, although there were plenty of blankets in the tents. The only downside is that the last day involves a lot of driving back to Fes (over 8 hours) but this is unavoidable so be prepared. Overall, highly recommend this trip! “

“Breathtaking experience
We chose the 3 days tour to Erg Chebbi and the trip was amazing! We started our Morocco Sahara toursin Marrakesh and went through the Atlas mountains where the views are breathtaking right at the start of the tour! But this is just the beginning and it keeps getting better as you approach the desert. Along the way you get to visit a lot of more beautiful places and our guide, Faissal, was always very helpful and friendly answering all our questions!
On the next day we arrived to the desert and went on a camel ride to the encampment where you stay at night.The ride is very funny, it was the first time ridding a camel and was very enjoyable. Along the way we saw the sunset wich gives you the opportunity for excellent pictures and memories! We ended this night watching the stars, never seen the sky so clear with so many stars!
The next day we went back to Marrakesh. These are three long days but are worth every second! “
