3-day desert trip Fes to Marrakech:

Following picking you up from your riad or hotel, we’ll go to Ifrane and Azrou through the Middle Atlas Mountains. During the way, we will stop by some cedar trees to view Barbary monkeys in their natural habitat. As you approach the city of Errachidia, you will experience views of the Middle-Atlas plateau as you go from Midelt via the Tizi Ntalghamt pass and further into the breathtaking Ziz Gorges carved from volcanic rock. 

After lunch, we will go to Erfoud, Rissani, and Merzouga in the Ziz Valley. With a drink of mint tea, we will leave our belongings in a safe location and ride camels to a Berber tent in the center of the Erg Chebbi Sad Dunes, the highest sand dunes in all of North Africa. It is a one-hour-and-thirty-minute camel ride to the desert camp where we will spend the night in Berber tents. Each tent has pillows, blankets, and beds. After dinner, the Berber drums will be played around the campfire while we admire the night sky.

After experiencing a spectacular dawn on the dunes, we will ride camels back to the hotel the next morning. Breakfast will be served, and we will then go to Tinghir and the Todra Gorges before completing the day at the Dades Valley.

Just after breakfast, we will travel over the Dades Valley to Kalaat Mgouna and Ouarzazate. In the “route of a thousand Kasbahs” across the Dades Valley, you will capture a big amount of photographs. Before traveling to Ouarzazat, widely known as “the Hollywood of Africa,” we will visit the Roses Valley and the town of Skoura. The vast Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah in the center of the Moroccan desert is where we will have lunch. 

And after seeing this World Heritage site, we will continue our journey by entering the High Atlas Mountains through the spectacular 2,260-meter-high Tizi nTichka pass. We will pause to take in the landscape and visit the Argan oil cooperative. We expect to arrive in Marrakech late in the afternoon.

Your vacation concludes with a 3-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech.
