Your 5 days tour from Fes to Marrakech begins with a pick-up from your hotel or riad in Fes. On the way to the desert, we will stop at Ifrane, known as the “Little Switzerland” of Morocco, and the cedar forest near Azrou, where you can spot playful Barbary monkeys. Next, we pass through the scenic Ziz Valley, famous for its lush palm groves and picturesque views.
