4 Day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour

We pick you up early in Marrakech and drive over the High Atlas Mountains through the winding Tizi n Tichka pass. Enjoy fresh mountain air and breathtaking views. Visit the famous clay fortress of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site seen in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Continue to Ouarzazate, known as the Gate of the Desert, where you can explore the Atlas Film Studios or the Taourirt Kasbah. Pass through the fragrant Rose Valley before spending the night in the peaceful Dades Valley.

After breakfast, travel through Tinghir and walk between the tall cliffs of Todra Gorge. Drive through green palm oases, with optional stops in Rissani or Erfoud. In the afternoon, arrive at the golden dunes of Merzouga. Ride a camel into the Sahara Desert, watch the sunset over the sand, and spend the night in a comfortable desert camp under the stars.

Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, with warm light on the cool sand. After breakfast at the camp, enjoy a free day to relax or stay nearby in a hotel or riad. You can choose optional desert activities like quad biking, visiting nomad families, or walking through the dunes. This is your chance to enjoy the magic of the Sahara Desert at your own pace.

Start the day with a camel or 4x4 ride back through the dunes to Merzouga. Drive through the scenic Ziz Valley and stop for lunch in Midelt in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Continue through cedar forests where Barbary macaque monkeys live, then pass through Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco for its alpine style. Arrive in Fes by afternoon or evening, ending your Morocco tour.
