Itinerary:

Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

Crossing the High Atlas via Tizi n’Tichka Pass

We depart Marrakech in the morning and head toward the High Atlas Mountains, driving through the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 meters). Along the way, panoramic viewpoints reveal snow-capped peaks in winter, deep valleys, and remote Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides.


Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah – UNESCO World Heritage Site

Our journey continues to the legendary Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most iconic landmarks. This ancient fortified village, built entirely of earth and clay, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living testament to Morocco’s caravan-trading past. A guided walk through the ksar unveils its architectural genius and historical significance.


Ouarzazate and the Valley of Roses

Passing through Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the desert, we continue east toward the Valley of Roses, a region famous for its fragrant rose fields and traditional kasbahs. The road follows dramatic landscapes shaped by rivers and time.


Overnight in Dades Valley

We end the first day in the Dades Valley, surrounded by striking rock formations and lush oases. Dinner and overnight stay in a comfortable hotel or riad provide the perfect rest after a day rich in scenery and discovery.


Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Merzouga – Erg Chebbi Desert

Todra Gorge – Towering Canyon of Southern Morocco

After breakfast, we travel to the impressive Todra Gorge, where sheer limestone cliffs rise dramatically on either side of a crystal-clear river. This natural wonder is one of Morocco’s most spectacular canyons and offers excellent opportunities for walking and photography.


Journey Through the Ziz Valley

Continuing east, the landscape gradually transforms as we approach the Sahara. We pass through desert towns and follow the Ziz Valley, known for its vast palm groves and ancient irrigation systems that sustain life in arid regions.


Arrival in Merzouga and Camel Trekking

By late afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, where towering golden sand dunes stretch endlessly toward the horizon. Here, we begin an unforgettable camel trek into the Sahara Desert, timed perfectly to catch the sunset over the dunes.


Night in a Sahara Desert Camp

Our desert camp offers an authentic yet comfortable experience. After a traditional Moroccan dinner, we gather around the campfire to enjoy Berber music and drumming beneath a sky filled with stars. The silence, vastness, and beauty of the Sahara create a truly magical night.


Day 3: Merzouga – Middle Atlas Mountains – Cedar Forest – Fes

Sunrise Over the Sahara

We wake early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, one of the most memorable moments of the entire tour. After breakfast, we leave the desert by camel or 4×4 and begin our journey north.


Rissani and Erfoud

We pass through Rissani, an important historic trading center, and Erfoud, known for its fossils and date palm production. The scenery shifts once again as desert plains give way to mountains and forests.


Middle Atlas Mountains and Cedar Forest

Crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains, we stop in the Cedar Forest of Azrou, home to wild Barbary macaques. The cooler climate and alpine landscapes provide a striking contrast to the Sahara Desert experienced the previous day.


Arrival in Fes

In the late afternoon or early evening, we arrive in Fes, concluding the 3 Days Tour From Marrakech to Fes. Drop-off is arranged at your riad or hotel, marking the end of an extraordinary journey across Morocco.
