Day 1: Fes ⇢ Ifrane ⇢ Middle Atlas Mountains ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Merzouga desert
  • 5 stops
  • Meals: snacks

Medina of Fez
Our 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour starts by picking all the travelers from a meeting point in the Medina of Fes.
Ifrane
  • 15m
Our first destination will be Ifrane, also called the Switzerland of Morocco because of its gabled roof houses. We will stop here for a short walk. The city was established by the French administration in 1928 to escape from the heat of the Sahara desert.
Azrou Cedar Forest

After stopping in Ifrane, we will carry on driving across the Middle Atlas Mountains with a stop by the road in a Cedar forest, where we may get to see a monkey species native to the Atlas Mountains.
Aoufous
  • 15m
After having lunch in a restaurant somewhere along the way, we will continue our journey to Merzouga. On the way, we will stop for a panoramic view of an Oasis that is full of palm trees.
Merzouga
  • 14h
We will reach the Merzouga desert in the afternoon. Here, you will get to ride camels across huge sand dunes to your luxury desert camp. It will take you about an hour and 40 minutes of camel trekking. On the way, you will stop in a high dune to watch a peaceful sunset over Erg Chebbi dunes. You can also reach the camp by a 4x4 vehicle instead of riding camels (included in the price too!). Once you get to the camp, the staff will show you your private tents. After a delicious dinner, you can enjoy having a seat around a campfire while the staff is playing drums and singing some traditional Berber music. Enjoy watching a starry sky before getting to bed.
Day 2: Merzouga desert ⇢ Rissani ⇢ Todra Gorges ⇢ Dades Gorges
  • 4 stops
  • Meals: breakfast, snacks
  • Accommodation: Overnight at Hotel Babylon Dades or similar, a lovely hotel in Dades Gorges.
Merzouga
Today, waking up early for the sunrise is highly recommended to watch a glorious sunrise. After having a tasty breakfast in the camp, each one can choose between leaving the camp by camel again or by a 4x4 car. This morning, you can also choose to add another activity, which is quad biking or buggy driving (it is with an additional price). Please let your guide know at night if you are interested.
Souqs of Rissani
  • 40m
If today happens to be Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, we will stop in Rissani to experience what a traditional Moroccan souk feels like. The souk is just three days a week. The city is also the foundation of the current ruling family of Morocco!
Todgha Gorge
  • 15m
After exploring the ancient city of Rissani, we will drive to Todra Canyon, which is the deepest canyon in Morocco. It is over 300 meters high cliffs! We will have a walk under this amazing Canyon before driving to our last destination of the day.
Dades Gorges
  • 14h
We will arrive in Dades Gorges in the afternoon. First, we will drive to see some amazing rock formations known as monkey fingers. Then, drive to a place where there is a panoramic view of the Gorges.
Day 3: Dades Gorges ⇢ Ouarzazate ⇢ Ait Ben Haddou ⇢ High Atlas Mountains ⇢ Marrakech
  • 5 stops
  • Meals: breakfast
  • Accommodation: Not included
Dades Gorges
After having a yummy breakfast at your hotel, we will drive to Ouarzazate passing by Kelaat Mgouna, which is known for roses! If your tour is running during springtime, we will stop in a valley that gets full of roses.
Ouarzazate
  • 15m
Ouarzazate is nicknamed the Holywood of Africa and the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Here, we will drive to see the Atlas Studio. It is the largest studio in the world, in terms of land area. Many films and TV series used the service of the studio, including Aladdin, Vikings, and Prison Break. You can take some pictures from outside, then drive to explore the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. You can also choose to visit the studio from the inside. However, it will take you about an hour and a half, and also there is a ticket that you will have to pay (not included in the price!).
Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Our guide will escort you to visit this ancient Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou while explaining to you its interesting history. The fortified village is a great example of Moroccan architecture. It was once used as a caravanserai during the caravan routes that were crossing the great Sahara Desert. The Kasbah is featured in many famous films and TV series, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and many more.
High Atlas Mountains
  • 15m
After exploring the Kasbah, we will drive to Marrakech over the High Atlas Mountains. We will have some stops along the way for some breathtaking views.
