You will travel in style in a contemporary, air-conditioned 4WD/minibus on your 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert trip across the eastern half of Morocco. At 8:00 AM, our guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and take you to the departure location. We shall cross the Atlas Mountain range before entering Ait Ben Haddou’s Kasbah.

The Kasbah, of which there are six inside a walled city, is a marvel. You’ll almost think you’ve travelled back in time to the era of gladiators, nomadic peoples, and antique markets when you’re here. After the first day’s sightseeing tour, lunch will be served in the Kasbah at Ait Ben Haddou.

On the first day, Ouarzazate will be our next stop. We’ll take in the beauty of a city where popular films like “The Mummy (1999 & 2001), “Lawrence of Arabia (1962),” “Gladiator (2000),” and “Game of Thrones” (2013) were made, to name just a few. This city is sometimes referred to as “The Gateway to the Desert.”

Before entering the Dades Valley, we can stop at a café in the city that serves as the entryway to the desert. When you arrive, you can unwind in a private room at a traditional riad in Dades with a private bathroom and enjoy a delicious Moroccan evening meal.

Following breakfast, we travel from Merzouga’s Dades gorges to the Erg Chebbi Sahara desert. We’ll pass through Tinjdad, Jorf, and Erfoud, where we’ll sense the start of the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet, and then we’ll continue to Merzouga, where your guide and camels will be waiting to transport you across tall sand dunes of the Moroccan Sahara Desert. Berber villages are scatted along the route.

To go to our nomad desert tent in Erg Chebbi, we took a camel ride across sand dunes as the sun was setting. Dinner and an overnight stay in a nomad tent in the middle of the Sahara desert to the sound of drums.

For the second day of our 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour, breakfast will be served at the camp after you awake to see the stunning sunrise from the top of Erg Chebbi’s dunes. Then, you can choose to take a 4WD transfer instead of riding camels back to the starting point.

Following your time spent sightseeing in Merzouga, you’ll be transferred to the next location to travel to Fes via the Ziz Valley, Midelt, Ifrane City, also known as the “Little Switzerland of Morocco,” and the renowned Middle Atlas cedar forest, home to the Barbary apes, in Azrou, where you can take a short walk to take pictures. Arriving in Fes in the late afternoon, you will be dropped off at your riad or hotel with incredible tales and indelible memories fresh in your memory.
