5 Days tour from Fes to the desert and Marrakech

Day 1 : Fes – Midelt – Erfoud – Merzouga

Our private tour begins with a drive towards the Atlas Mountains, stopping in the villages Azrou and Ifrane. There, we’ll have the chance to visit the famous Cedar woods, home to the Berber apes. From there, we cross the Tiz Ntalghamt mountain pass and the Ziz gorges. We
recommend a stop at this beautiful view with freshly served Moroccan mint tea !

Our journey then continues to Merzouga, calling it a day in a local hotel.

Day 2 : Merzouga desert tour

Today, we’ll take the time for an extensive tour around the Erg Chebbi dunes in the Merzouga desert. You’ll be stunned by the widths of the desert and the nomad style of living. On our list, there’s the black valley of Khamlia, which offers Gnawa music. For lunch, we’ll enjoy a
traditional Berber pizza in the antique city of Rissani! Then, in the late afternoon, the sun will set over the dunes with us riding on camels towards the camp again. Tagine will be our dinner, accompanied by Berber music and exquisite mint tea. The night will be topped of by a
campfire under the night sky.

Day 3 : Merzouga – Dadès Gorges

Starting early to catch the sunrise, we drive off to a local hotel for breakfast and freshening up. Our journey then continues towards Ouarzazate, passing Berber villages, the Todra Gorges and the Dadès Gorges on the way. We’ll settle for the night in a hotel in the Dadès
Gorge.

Day 4 : Dadès Gorges – Ouarzazate – Marrakech

After breakfast, we continue our drive to Ouarzazate, hence passing the road of thousand kasbahs with a stop in Kalaat Mgouna, the center of the valley of roses (which is known for its annual rose fest). The next stop is the UNESCO world heritage of Aït-Ben-Haddou, where films like Lawrence of Arabia or Gladiator have been filmed as well as parts of the famous HBO series Game of Thrones. Subsequently, we cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass in the Atlas Mountains before ending our tour in Marrakech.

Day 5 : Marrakech

On the last day, a private guide will lead you through the city of Marrakesh, visiting the main attractions and monuments like the Djeema el Fna Square, the Koutoubia Mosque, the local suqs as well as palaces and, possibly, museums.
