4 Days tour from Marrakech to the desert and Fes

Day 1 : Marrakech – Tizi n‘Tichka Mountain Pass – Ouarzazate – Dadès Gorges

Your private tour begins with a breathtaking view of the Atlas Mountains while we make our way through the Tizi n‘Tichka Mountain Pass – our destination being the UNESCO World Heritage of Aït-Ben-Haddou, known as a Hollywood film set of movies like Gladiator or the
HBO series Game of Thrones. Having then arrived in Ouarzazate, we’ll visit the Atlas movie studios and a kasbah in the city. We continue our tour to the valley of roses, which is famous for its annual rose festival, and travel to the Dadès Gorges. Here, we’ll have dinner and spend the night in a local hotel.

Day 2 : Dadès Gorges – Todra Gorges – Rissani – Merzouga desert

Starting at the hotel, we continue our journey by 4×4 and explore the Todra Gorges, a narrow and colorful canyon loved by outdoor enthusiasts. We’re then driving through the Ziz valley to Erfoud, a haven city known as “the gate to the Sahara desert” and famous for its
plenty fossils. There, we’ll take the chance to visit a local factory producing goods out of fossils – you’ll be able to pick up some souvenirs in the designated shop !

Our journey proceeds to Rissani, where we’ll visit the local Suq, a traditional Moroccan market. From there, we’ll drive to the Merzouga desert. Having arrived at a checkpoint, we’ll trade in our 4×4 for camels and ride above the dunes, being guided by experienced camel herdsmen. Our destination is a desert camp promising an unforgettable night with delicious meals, Berber music, a warming campfire and the star-filled sky above us.

Day 3 : Merzouga desert

The whole third day is dedicated to explore the Merzouga desert. You’ll be free to choose your way transportation, either authentically riding on camels or choosing the comfort of a 4×4. On this day, we’ll visit the Khamlia village which is famous for its traditional music–and which offers the possibility to witness a stunning sunset over the dunes of the Sahara desert.

Our night will be sweetened by traditional Berber music and tasty Moroccan food at a camp fire.
