Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime 4 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech. This journey lets you discover Morocco’s diverse landscapes and authentic culture. You’ll travel from the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the golden dunes of Merzouga. The tour also includes the Todra Gorges, the kasbahs of Ouarzazate, and finally the vibrant city of Marrakech.
Your adventure begins in Fes. The road takes you through Ifrane, often called the “Little Switzerland of Morocco.” You’ll also pass through Azrou and its cedar forests, home to Barbary monkeys. After a stop in Midelt, the landscapes shift as you cross the Ziz Valley. By evening, you arrive in Merzouga, gateway to the Sahara.
Here, the highlight awaits: a camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun sets, the desert glows in shades of gold and red. At night, you’ll enjoy Berber hospitality, music by the fire, and stargazing at a traditional desert camp.
The journey continues with a stop in Rissani, famous for its traditional souk. From there, you head to the towering Todra Gorges, where cliffs rise over 300 meters high. Afterward, drive through the Valley of Roses and the palm groves of Skoura. The day ends in Ouarzazate, also known as the “Hollywood of Morocco.”
On the last day, explore Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This fortified village has appeared in many films and series. Next, cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 m. By late afternoon, you arrive in Marrakech, where vibrant souks and historic landmarks await.
