Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas – Ait Benhaddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Valley

Your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes begins with a very early pickup from your hotel to drive towards the mountains. We drive over the Tizi n’Tichka pass to the famous Ait Ben Haddou kasbah; you may have heard of it from some blockbuster films. With this Morocco desert trip, you get to see ancient mud buildings reflecting the history of southern tribes.

We visit Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Africa, and drive through the Valley of Roses to the Dades Gorges. Day 1: Your Morocco tours—in the blink of an eye, civilization is left behind. We end the day at a cozy hotel where you savor an authentic dinner and prepare for the adventures that lie ahead.

Day 2: Dades Valley, Todra Gorges, Erfoud, Merzouga, and Sahara

On day 2 of your 3-day desert Marrakech to Fes tour, you will visit the staggering limestone cliffs at Todra. Let us walk by the river and breathe the fresh air before we continue on our way to the desert sands. Back from your Morocco holiday shopping, you find yourself in fossil towns where fine-art craftsmen carve their masterpieces from ancient stone.

Arrive at Merzouga. Begin the best part of your 3-day desert Marrakech tour to Fez in the late afternoon. You’ll walk into the Erg Chebbi dunes on a camel and watch a sunset you’ll never forget. Like Marrakech, we overnight at a best luxury desert campsite with private tents, music, and stars in the sky.

Day 3: Merzouga – Ziz Valley – Midelt – Cedar Forest – Ifrane – Fez

An early start to your 3-day desert Marrakech-to-Fes tour will reward you with the sight of the Sahara dunes bathed in golden sunlight. Back at the camp, you have a hearty breakfast and then ride your camel back to the village to meet your driver once again. Then the Morocco desert tour goes north through the vast palm groves of the Ziz Valley.

We stop for a healthy lunch in Midelt and continue to the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to see the monkeys of the area. Your conclusion for the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes will be Ifrane, the “Switzerland” of Morocco, before reaching Fes. This last drive connects the warm desert memories with the cool mountain air for your arrival at a riad.
