6 Days Tailored Morocco Private Tour to Fes Chefchaouen and Sahara Desert

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Marrakech through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. You’ll wind through the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m), with photo stops at panoramic viewpoints and charming Berber villages clinging to the hillsides.

­ 

Our first major stop is the UNESCO-listed ksar of Ait Benhaddou, a centuries-old fortified village made of earthen clay. A local guide will take you through its alleys and explain its fascinating history as a caravan crossroads and a Hollywood film location.

­ 

After lunch at a nearby traditional restaurant, we continue through Ouarzazate—often called the “Hollywood of Africa”—and the lush Skoura palm grove, known for its hidden kasbahs. As we reach the Dades Valley, marvel at the unique rock formations and ancient kasbahs dotting the landscape.

🛏️ Overnight in a charming guesthouse in the Dades Gorges.

🍽️ Dinner and breakfast included.

After a hearty Moroccan breakfast, we travel along the famous “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs”, with its mudbrick castles and palm-filled valleys. We stop in Tinghir, a peaceful town with a strong Jewish heritage and beautiful gardens.

­ 

Next, we explore the dramatic Todra Gorges, where the canyon walls tower 300 meters above. You’ll have time to walk through the gorge, take photos, or relax beside the cool stream.

­ 

By late afternoon, we reach the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Here, your camel will be waiting to carry you into the heart of the Sahara. Enjoy a sunset camel ride across the dunes before reaching your desert camp.

­ 

At the camp, enjoy traditional music around the fire, a delicious dinner, and a night under the stars or inside your nomadic-style tent.
