Tour Plan
Your Marrakech to Fes desert tour begins with an early departure across the High Atlas Mountains, passing dramatic valleys and Berber villages.
After crossing the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, you’ll visit the legendary Kasbah Telouet, once home to the powerful Glaoui family. Though partially in ruins, it whispers stories of Morocco’s past.
Next, travel through the Ounila Valley to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Ben Haddou, an ancient clay fortress used in famous films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
After exploring, continue toward the palm-fringed Skoura Oasis, where quiet trails and endless date palms welcome you to an evening of peace.
Wake up to birdsong and the scent of palm trees before exploring Kasbah Amredhil, one of Skoura’s best-preserved examples of earthen architecture.
Next, drive through the Valley of Roses, known for its fragrant blooms and locally crafted rose products. You’ll stop for a quick visit to a cooperative before continuing your scenic journey.
After lunch, head toward the Dades Gorges, where towering cliffs and winding roads create one of Morocco’s most photogenic landscapes.
Spend your afternoon walking along the river or meeting local Berber families before a restful night surrounded by mountain tranquility.
After breakfast, continue to Todra Gorges, where limestone cliffs rise dramatically on both sides of a clear mountain stream — a paradise for hikers and photographers alike.
Later, the scenery shifts as you travel through the desert towns of Tinghir, Tinjdad, and Erfoud, famous for their ancient fossils.
By late afternoon, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga rise before you. You’ll mount your camel and ride across the rolling sands to your luxury desert camp.
As the sun sets, the dunes glow red and gold — a moment you’ll never forget. After a traditional dinner, join the Berber drummers around the campfire beneath a sky bursting with stars.
This morning, enjoy a calm breakfast in the dunes before choosing your adventure.
You can take a camel trek across the desert with a picnic lunch prepared under acacia trees, or explore by 4×4, visiting the Gnawa village of Khamlia, known for its soulful African rhythms.
Later, stop by Rissani, the cradle of Morocco’s royal Alaouite dynasty, where vibrant souks and historic ksars await.
As the day ends, ride your camel back into the dunes to catch another unforgettable Sahara sunset, followed by a final night of serenity in your luxury camp.
After breakfast, say goodbye to the desert and head north through the scenic Ziz Valley, filled with palm groves and kasbahs.
You’ll stop in Midelt, nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains, for a relaxed lunch before continuing through cedar forests where Barbary apes roam freely.
By evening, you’ll arrive in Fes, Morocco’s oldest imperial city, with its maze-like medina and timeless charm.
Your driver will drop you at your riad, marking the end of this unforgettable Marrakech to Fes tour — a journey full of colors, stories, and smiles.
