The 4-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour begins with an early pickup from your accommodation or airport in Fes. Travel south through Imouzzer to visit Ifrane, famous for its cool climate, snow, and alpine-style houses—earning it the nickname “Switzerland of Morocco”. Continue to the cedars forest, home to the Barbary macaques, where you can feed and photograph these playful creatures. Next, stop in Midelt for lunch, then drive through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt Pass and along the scenic Ziz River toward the Sahara Desert.

Arrive in Merzouga, switch to camels, and cross the golden dunes. Stop on a high dune to admire the magical sunset, then continue to your luxury desert camp, where you can enjoy Berber drum music and dance around the campfire under a sky full of stars. Dinner and overnight in the camp.

Wake up early to witness the breathtaking sunrise in the middle of the desert. After breakfast, return to Merzouga by camels or 4×4. Explore the Merzouga region, including sand dunes, wild lakes, mines, fossil areas, and lush oases—perfect for outdoor activities.

Visit an ancient eyeliner mine, meet nomads in their woven tents, and enjoy Berber tea while learning about their lifestyle. Travel to Khamlia village for Gnaoua music and traditional dance performances. After lunch, stroll through the palm grove and see the wild lake of Merzouga, also known as Flamingos Lake. Dinner and overnight in a hotel.

After breakfast, leave the desert to visit Rissani, the ancient capital of Tafilalet, famous for its vibrant souk. Continue to Erfoud to visit a fossilized marble workshop. Drive through Touroug and Tinjdad palm groves to reach the Todra Gorges, a grand canyon with high red cliffs, ideal for rock climbers.

After lunch, drive to Dades Valley, stopping at the “Monkey Fingers” rock formation and a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the valley. Dinner and overnight in a hotel.

Begin with a visit to Kalaa Magouna and the Rose Valley, famous for its annual Rose Festival in May and local rose products. Drive through Skoura Palm Groves and reach Ouarzazate, known as the Gate of the Desert, where you can visit movie studios.

Continue to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featured in films like Gladiator, Alexander, The Mummy, and TV series like Game of Thrones. Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass, with stops for lunch and photo opportunities, before reaching Marrakech. Drop-off at your accommodation or airport.
