Day 1: Marrakech – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

Day 1: Marrakech to the Desert. The 3-day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel and travels towards the High Atlas Mountains. We crossed the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass during our drive to the ancient Ait Benhaddou kasbah, home of many Hollywood films. This Morocco desert trip lets you walk through history before we drive further south.

Following lunch, we cross the Rose Valley and get to the stunning Dades Valley in the late afternoon. In this section of your 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes desert tour, you will see how a general context of mountains and beige desert combines perfectly with lush green gardens. We spend the night in a cozy hotel with an amazing view so you can recover from the day and breathe in the fresh mountain air.

Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Sahara, Merzouga

Wake up early on the next day of your 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes desert tour. You can stroll through the cool river and take photos of giant rock walls that reach for the sky. Today, the Morocco Desert Tour glides toward Merzouga, a town that is a desert gatehouse of golden sand dunes.

You ride a docile camel in the evening for the 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes Desert Tour into the Sahara’s golden dunes. You will find a best-in-class luxury desert camp, a Marrakech-style site, with your own tent and a hot dinner ready for you. Every night we play rustic tunes around a campfire under the brilliant and twinkling stars of the desert.

Day 3: Merzouga Sahara – Ziz Valley – Midelt – Ifrane – Fes

Day 3 of your original 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes Desert Tour begins with an unforgettable sunrise over the sand dunes. After a hearty breakfast, you ride your camel back to the village and start the drive to the north. The Ziz Valley with millions of green palm trees is on the way to this Morocco tour route.

On the way, we break for lunch in Midelt and visit the cedar forest to befriend the local Barbary macaque monkeys. Exploration Recap for 3-Day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour: Your 3-day Marrakech-to-Fes desert journey ends up in the evening when we arrive at the religious city of Fes. And the journey between the two imperial cities, Morocco and Marrakesh, ends with great memories when we drop you at your riad.
