Our 6-day desert tour in Morocco from Marrakech to Fes starts with an early pick-up from your riad or the airport in Marrakech. Firstly, our trip will take us through the beautiful High Atlas Mountains. We will cross the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, which is 2,260 meters high, and stop to enjoy the stunning views. Our first main stop is Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO site famous for its old architecture and appearances in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After visiting the Kasbah, we will go to Ouarzazate, which is called the “Gateway to the Desert.” There, we will see the Taourirt Kasbah. Finally, we will have dinner and spend the night at a hotel in Ouarzazate.
After breakfast, we will tour Ouarzazate and the Atlas Studios, used in many famous films. Then, we will first visit Rose Valley in Kalaa Magouna. This area is famous for its rose products, like perfumes, rose water, oil, and cosmetics. The locals celebrate the Rose Festival in May. After that, we will drive through the Dades Valley before reaching Todra Gorges, where towering rock walls frame a spectacular view. We will take the time to explore the palm groves of Tinjdad and Touroug before lunch. Afterward, we continue to Merzouga. Upon arrival, we will switch to camels and trek through the Sahara to watch a spectacular sunset. We will end the day in a luxury desert camp with a traditional Berber dinner, music, and dancing around a campfire.
We recommend waking up early to see the sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, we will trek back to Merzouga and visit an eyeliner mine to learn about local history. We will also visit nomadic families, enjoying tea in their tents. Next, we will visit Khamlia village, known for its Gnaoua music and dance, before lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, we will take a peaceful walk through a lush palm grove and then visit Flamingos Lake. Return to your accommodations for dinner and a restful night.
On day four, we will leave the Merzouga Desert after breakfast and visit Rissani, an old trading town. If it is market day, we will explore the lively souk. Then, we will stop in Erfoud to see a fossil workshop. As we drive along the Ziz River, we will enjoy stunning views before having lunch in Midelt. In the afternoon, we will visit a cedar forest where monkeys live and take a walk to see them up close. Later, we will stop in Ifrane, known as the “Swiss of Morocco,” before arriving in Fes for dinner and staying in a riad for the night.
After breakfast, we will take a guided tour of Fes, starting at the Royal Palace gate. Next, explore the medieval Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, entering through the Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud). We will visit sites such as the Medrasa Bouanania, the Najjarine Fountain, the Tanneries, and the Quaraouin Mosque, the oldest university in the world. We will continue to the Jewish quarter (Mellah) and enjoy panoramic city views from an ancient fortress before returning to your riad for the night.
On the last day, we will have breakfast and some free time to explore Fes. You can do some last-minute shopping or take in some sightseeing. Our driver will take you to the airport when it is time to leave. We will end our services and look forward to seeing you next time.
