We leave Tangier heading to Tetouan, city located next to the Rif Mountains declared World Heritage Site. Its medina is composed of winding streets. We continue the road to Chaouen, the blue town. It is one of the iconic places in Morocco. A show of blues. Here we will spend the first night.
Day 2
Chaouen, free day
The second day you are free to explore the city and take beautiful pictures. In each of the streets of the medina there is a magical corner to take a photo. The blue and white color relieves the suffocating summer heat and frightens mosquitoes. The Kasbah was built by Muley Ismail at the end of the 17th century and is an essential visit. This impressive medieval fortress is fully walled by solid reddish walls and in one of its side corners is the Tower of Homage For nature lovers, leaving the medina through the easternmost door (Bab el Onsar) you can see the spring of Ras el Maa that springs in the form of a waterfall on the side of the mountain. Water so cold and crystal clear that the locals say that “when they drink it, they break their teeth”.
Day 3
Chaouen – Volubilis – Moulay Idriss – Fez
We leave Chaouen and heading to Volubilis, the largest and best preserved Roman settlement in North Africa declared a World Heritage Site. The ruins of Volubilis, are surrounded by walls and you can clearly see inside the areas of the hot springs so important in the Arab culture. Next we go to the holy city of Moulay Idriss where there is a minaret in a rounded shape with engravings of verses from the Koran. The road takes us to Fez, one of the Imperial Cities of Morocco, where we will sleep for today
Day 4
Fes, free day
Fes is the intellectual and historical capital of Morocco, declared a World Heritage Site. The city is divided into 3 parts: Fez el-Bali the is the oldest area within the walls, Fez el-Jdid where Mellah is located with the Jewish quarter and Nouvelle Ville (Villa Nueva), the French zone in the northwest of the city. From the viewpoint you can really check the magnitude of its medina, with more than 9,000 labyrinths, which somehow contains those 3 neighborhoods or medinas inside. During the day off you can walk the streets of the medina, visit the tanneries (Chouara), the Medersa Attarine, one of the main schools of the Koranic religion of Fez and is one of the most interesting madrassas of the city. You can also enjoy some shopping in the souks.
On the fifth day we leave Fez in the direction of the Middle Atlas by Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Africa or the small Switzerland, the roofs of the houses simulate this European city, as it is an area of great snowfall. We continue to Azrou, where there is an extensive forest with the longest trees in Morocco, some of them are over 100 years old, they are cedar, holm oak and cork oak forests and therefore the area is home to a large wooden handicraft industry. Arriving at the Ziz Valley, we can not miss to observe a large green tongue in the form of zig-zag, several kilometers. We continue until we reach the impressive sand dunes of the Merzouga desert.
Day 6
Merzouga – Khamlia – Visit to the Nomads – Mifis mines – dune camp
Today we are going to visit the surroundings of Merzouga. We travel by the SUV villages and towns of Berber nomads, who live in dromedary skin khaimas or small mud and straw constructions, the houses of the villages in the area are all built in adobe. We visit the now almost abandoned Minas de Mifis and enjoy the lively Gnawa music in Khamlia, known as the “village of blacks.” After lunch we return to the riad to change transport. The dromedaries take us to the haimas camp where we spend a night that you will remember with emotion all your life. The experience includes typical moroccan dinner, berber drums around the fire and a blanket of stars at night.
We wake up watching a show in the dunes and return with the dromedaries to the riad. We start the day in Rissani, its souk runs 3 days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We continue to Todra Gorges and Dades Gorges with its canyons and beautiful landscapes with unique color contrasts. Next we find the Valley of the roses in Kalaat M´Gouna. We continue until we reach the palm grove of Skoura on the route of the 1000 kashbahs, visiting the Kasbah Ameridil. We continue to the mecca of cinema in Morocco, the city of Ouarzazate, where we will sleep today. Many movies have been shot here and you find though the city what one day were stages in the city.
Day 8
Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakech
We leave Ouarzazte, for a few kilometers we leave the road that will take us to Marrakech to visit the kashbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a World Heritage Site and scenary of different films.

“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”
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! “
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! “
