Tour itinerary

Day 1: Fes to Merzouga

Your English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up as early as possible after an early breakfast at your hotel or riad in Fez, at 07h00 AM in the winter and 08h00 AM in the summer ( that will allow you enough driving time to catch the sunset in Erg Chebbi )
Your 3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech will begin with a drive across the Saiss plains, past Ifran and Azrou, to the Cedarwoods of the Middle Atlas Mountains. On the side of the road, you can see Barbary apes and stop for photos.

Proceed to Midelt, where you will have lunch. From here, you’ll cross the Ziz River, passing thousands of sky-scraping palm trees and fortified Kasbahs on your way to Erfoud, Merzouga, and Erg Chebbi, where your camel caravan will be waiting for you to ride your camels like nomads and watch the changing colors of the sunset over the Erg Chebbi sand dunes.

Return your camels to your Sahara desert tent to refresh up before preparing for your meal under the stars, accompanied by the sounds of the local nomads’ Tam-tam drums. Your Sahara desert camp will be your home for the night.

Day 2: Merzouga Desert – Erfoud – Tinghir – Dades Valley

Meet your guide in Merzouga after an early morning camel ride. Today’s trip will take you through one breathtaking sight after another, including the stunning oasis of Tinghir, where you can take a walk along the Todgha riverside, see Berber communities, and learn about the local people’s way of life. Continue your trek to the stunning Todgha Canyons and stop for a tasty lunch at a nearby cafe.
Before arriving at your boutique guest house, drive down Casbahs Road to Dades Valley in the afternoon.
In Dades Valley, we’ll have dinner and spend the night.

Day 3: Dades Valley – Ouarzazate – Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou – Marrakech

After breakfast, drive to Kalaa Mgouna along the Valley of the Roses, where you can visit one of the Rosewater cooperatives and discover how the people make rose-scented perfumes using distilled rose water.

We continue to Ouarzazate, passing through the Skoura Oasis, which is known for its date palm trees, and then to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, where you will have lunch before visiting the Kasbah, a UNESCO world heritage site that has been used as a set for numerous Hollywood films, fashion shoots, and commercials. The Kasbah has been carefully conserved and is made up of several Kasbahs that have been crammed together to form a single structure.

We start our descent through the Atlas Mountains in the afternoon, going through Tizi Ntichka Pass and passing through several Berber settlements with stone and mud buildings. You notice right away that life here hasn’t changed in millennia!! Shepherds make up the majority of the population. We arrive late in the afternoon in Marrakech, and your driver will transport you to your riad or hotel. Your 3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech has come to an end.
