3-day Tour From Marrakech To Fes

Get ready for an epic adventure! Your first day starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Marrakech. Hold on tight as you wind through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. After crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass, you’ll take a detour to explore the fascinating ruins of Telouet Kasbah, once home to a powerful local family.

After lunch, you’ll head to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most famous Kasbah in Morocco. Prepare to be amazed by its towering mudbrick buildings! The journey continues through Ouarzazate, nicknamed “Hollywood of Morocco,” and the Skoura Oasis, where ancient kasbahs stand guard amidst palm groves. Take a break in the Valley of Roses, famous for its rose-infused beauty products, before reaching your guesthouse for the night in Dades Gorge, a dramatic canyon carved by the Dades River.

Start day two with a refreshing walk along the Dades River before continuing your adventure. You’ll explore the stunning Todgha Gorges, another natural wonder with towering cliff walls. Lunch will be here or at your desert camp later in the day.

Get ready for a change of scenery! As you travel through the Ziz Valley, dotted with palm trees and known for its delicious dates, keep your eyes peeled for the towns of Erfoud, famous for its fossils, and Rissani, the hometown of Morocco’s royal family.

In the afternoon, after a warm Moroccan welcome with mint tea, it’s time for the camel trek across the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert! Witness a magical sunset from the top of the dunes before enjoying dinner and spending the night under a sky bursting with stars in a cozy nomad tent.

On the final day, it’s time to say goodbye to the desert, but the adventure isn’t over yet! The drive back to Fes is packed with interesting stops. First, you’ll cruise through the Ziz Valley again, admiring its lush palm groves.

Next, you’ll tackle the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through towns like Midelt and Azrou. Keep your eyes peeled – you might spot some Barbary macaque monkeys hanging out in the Cedar Forest! You’ll also have a chance to visit the charming town of Ifrane, nicknamed “Little Switzerland of Morocco,” before arriving in Fes, your final destination.

Imagine a cute town nestled in Morocco’s epic Middle Atlas Mountains. That’s Midelt! Picture traditional mudbrick houses with narrow streets, all set against dramatic mountain peaks. Midelt used to be a super important stop on old trading routes, and it’s still a popular spot for travelers today. You can experience Berber culture, hike through gorgeous valleys, or explore the mountains. But Midelt’s also perfect for chilling. Grab a yummy mint tea at a local cafe, soak up the sunshine, and relax in the mountain vibes!

Tucked away in Morocco’s mountains is a cool little town called Ifrane. Believe it or not, it’s nicknamed “The Switzerland of Morocco” because it’s like a breath of fresh mountain air compared to the rest of the country. Ifrane is cooler year-round, and even gets snow sometimes in the winter!

If you’re looking for a taste of Europe in Morocco, Ifrane delivers. The town has a unique style, with buildings that look copy-pasted from the Swiss Alps. Animal lovers will also dig Ifrane because it’s close to the Cedar Forest, home to playful Barbary macaque monkeys. Ifrane might be small, but packed with unexpected charm and natural beauty!

Errachidia sits right at the edge of the Sahara Desert. Travelers often stop here to stock up on supplies and souvenirs.

Errachidia is not all about being a jumping-off point though. This town has a rich history dating back to the days of the caravans that once crossed the desert. Today, you’ll find a fascinating museum packed with artifacts of the region’s past. If you’re feeling peckish, Errachidia is famous for its delicious dates – the perfect way to fuel up for your adventures!
