We will pick you up early from the airport or your accommodation in Fes to start the 5-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour. Our first stop will be Ifrane, which is known for its cold temperature and snow and as the Switzerland of Morocco. We’ll also visit the cedar forest, where you can see Barbary Macaques and even feed them if you’d like. We will then continue to Midelt for lunch before heading to the Sahara desert.
On the way, we will drive through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and along the Ziz River. In the afternoon, we will arrive at the Merzouga Sahara desert. You will ride a camel and cross the sandy desert to enjoy the sunset on top of a high dune. We will then reach the desert luxury camp, where you can listen to Berber drums music and dance around the campfire under the vast open sky of stars. Dinner will be served in the camp, where you will spend the night.
To fully appreciate the beauty of the desert sunrise, it’s important to wake up early in the morning. After breakfast, we’ll ride camels back to Merzouga where the driver will be waiting for us. Our day will be spent exploring the stunning region of Merzouga, which offers a variety of activities such as viewing sand dunes, wild lakes, mines, fossil areas, and oases. Our exploration will begin by off-road driving to an ancient eyeliner mine, followed by a visit to the nomads’ handmade woven tent where we’ll enjoy a cup of Berber tea and learn about their way of life.
The next stop will be Khamlia village, where we’ll experience the Gnaoua music and dance performances. The village’s inhabitants are originally from sub-Saharan countries such as Mali, Sudan and Niger. We’ll have free time for lunch at a restaurant before taking a stroll in the palm trees grove. Our last destination will be the wild lake of Merzouga, also known as the Flamingos Lake, just a few kilometers away. We’ll spend the night at a hotel and enjoy dinner.
On the third day of 5 days Fes to Marrakech desert itinerary, we leave the desert after breakfast to visit Rissani. This town was once the capital of Tafilalet and is still a major trading center in the region. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, there is a big souk (market) that you can visit. After spending some time there, we will go to Erfoud, where we will visit a workshop that specializes in fossilized marble.
Then we will drive through palm groves in Touroug and Tinjdad to reach the Todra Gorges. The Todra River has carved out a grand canyon through the mountains, creating a high, red cliff-sided canyon that is an ideal place for rock climbers. You will have some free time to wander around the gorges and appreciate the landscape. After that, we will stop for lunch at a restaurant before continuing to the Dades Valley through Boumalne Dades. Along the way, we will stop at the “monkey fingers” rock formation and a spot atop a mountain overlooking the Dades Valley. Finally, we will end the day with dinner and an overnight stay in a hotel.

Later, we will drive through the palm groves of Skoura and visit the Kasbah of Amridil. Finally, we will reach Ouarzazate, where we will visit the studios that were used to shoot famous movies and also visit the Taourirt Kasbah. We will have dinner and stay overnight in a hotel.
