Woestijntocht van Marrakech naar Fes - 3 dagen

tart your tour with an early pickup. Meet your driver at your hotel or riad in the morning before crossing the High Atlas Mountains towards Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou.

After a guided walk in the village, enjoy a leisurely lunch in Ait-Ben-Haddou. In the early afternoon, travel northeast to Boumalne Dades via Ouarzazate. Take a drive along the Dades River with the marvelous sunset as your backdrop.

Reach the way to Dades Valley and make a pit stop to enjoy the amazing scenery. Then, continue to a hotel where you will dine and rest for the night at Kasbah Amazigh.

Start the day with breakfast at your hotel. Set out on a journey along the road of 1001 Kasbahs to Tinghir, an oasis where you will have the opportunity to enjoy an hour-long walk by the river bank all the way to Todgha Gorges. Here, get some free time to enjoy the scenery before lunch. 

Early in the afternoon, walk to Merzouga, where your camel caravan awaits. From here, ride your camel through the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi while enjoying a mesmerizing sunset. 

Before dark, reach your Sahara desert camp nestled between the dunes, where you will eat a Moroccan dinner under the stars while being entertained by local nomads playing their drums around the campfire.

After the campfire, relax in your standard or luxury tent, depending on which one you choose. The standard tents are basic accommodation, while a private tent is subject to availability. The toilets are right outside, with facilities to freshen up in a shared room.

If you choose the luxury tent, it is located in a more isolated and scenic area, providing extra comfort, and a guaranteed private tent with flushable western toilets, hot showers, and a rich dinner and breakfast.

Wake before dawn if you wish to witness one of the Sahara’s most unforgettable moments — the sunrise over the dunes. Watch as the first light turns the sand from deep red to shimmering gold. After breakfast at the camp, bid farewell to your desert hosts and begin your drive north.

Follow the Ziz River, tracing a ribbon of green oasis lined with countless palm trees and ancient ksours — fortified desert villages that once protected caravan traders. Enjoy the scenery as you pass through the Ziz Valley, one of Morocco’s most photogenic landscapes.

Stop in Midelt, a quiet mountain town nestled between the High and Middle Atlas, where you’ll pause for lunch and take in the crisp mountain air.

In the afternoon, continue across the Middle Atlas Mountains, and watch the landscape transform dramatically. The dry desert fades into lush cedar forests, rolling hills, and even snow-capped peaks in winter — a striking contrast to the arid south.

Arrive in Fes by early evening, where your driver will drop you off at your riad or hotel. Your 3-day journey from Marrakech to Fes ends here, filled with memories of mountains, kasbahs, and the magic of the Sahara.
