On this 2-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour, we will journey through the most picturesque Moroccan landscapes and cultural treasures. From the Middle Atlas Mountains to the golden dunes of Merzouga and the breathtaking High Atlas passes, this trip offers a perfect mix of nature, history, and unique experiences.
We will pick you up from your hotel or riad in Fes to start your desert adventure. First, we will stop in Ifrane, known for its alpine-style buildings and snowy winters, giving it the name “Switzerland of Morocco.” Next, we will visit the Cedar Forest of Azrou, where you can see and interact with Barbarian macaque monkeys in their natural habitat. We will stop for lunch in Midelt while driving through the Middle Atlas Mountains, then continue to Ziz Valley, known for its palm groves and landscapes, before arriving in Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Experience a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes to a luxury desert camp. Enjoy the sunset on your ride, then settle into a nomadic-style tent. Indulge in a Berber folklore show with traditional drumming and a delicious Moroccan dinner before spending the night under the stars.
Start your day early to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the dunes. After that, ride your camel back to Merzouga. After breakfast, we will go to the Todra Gorges, which has gorgeous red cliffs over 300 meters high. This area is perfect for rock climbing and photography. Next, we will drive through Berber villages and palm groves, passing Tinghir and Boumalne Dades until we reach the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the best-preserved ancient ksars in Morocco and has appeared in films like Gladiator, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones. After visiting Ait Ben Haddou, we will drive through the High Atlas Mountains and cross the 2,260-meter-high Tizi n’Tichka Pass for stunning views. In the evening, we will arrive in Marrakech, where we’ll drop you off at your hotel or the airport, concluding our 2-day tour.
