Your 3 days desert tour begins after breakfast, as we set off from Fes towards the magical Moroccan desert. Our first stop is Ifrane, known as the ‘Switzerland of Morocco’ for its cool climate and Alpine-like architecture. Continuing through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, we stop in the cedar forests, where you’ll have the chance to see the native Barbary macaques.
We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant along the way, allowing you to choose a convenient time for your meal. As we approach Merzouga, you’ll be greeted by the stunning sight of the Ziz Valley, an oasis filled with lush palm trees.
Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, the adventure begins with a camel trek through the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch the desert sunset from atop the dunes before reaching your luxury desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional Berber hospitality. Enjoy a night filled with drumming, stories, and stargazing under the vast Sahara sky.
Start your day early to witness the peaceful sunrise over the desert, followed by breakfast at the camp. You can either ride back to Merzouga by camel or opt for a 4×4 vehicle. The day’s journey takes you through Rissani, Erfoud, and the striking Todra Gorge.
If you visit on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, you’ll have the chance to explore Rissani’s lively market, rich with local goods and culture. Stroll along the Todra River and marvel at the towering walls of the Todra Gorge, one of Morocco’s most famous natural wonders.
In the afternoon, we reach the Dades Valley, where you’ll enjoy a scenic drive through the landscape, famous for its dramatic rock formations known as ‘monkey fingers.’ Your evening will be spent in a comfortable hotel nestled in the heart of the valley.
Following breakfast, we embark on the final leg of your desert adventure. We drive through the Valley of Roses, passing through charming Berber villages on our way to Ait Ben Haddou. This famous UNESCO World Heritage Site has been the backdrop for many iconic films and shows, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones. You’ll have time to explore this ancient fortified village and admire its unique architecture.
After a leisurely lunch, we continue the journey to Marrakech, crossing the dramatic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, Morocco’s highest road pass at 2,260 meters.
