Tour Plan
Day 1: Marrakech to Dades Valley – The Gateway to the Desert
Our journey begins in the colorful city of Marrakech. After an early departure, we’ll ascend through the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass. The panoramic views here are nothing short of breathtaking, with ancient Berber villages perched on mountain sides and terraced fields ascending the slopes.
Our first major stop is the iconic Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This ancient mud-brick city on the edge of the High Atlas Mountains has been the backdrop for many films and is a testament to the traditional Saharan architecture of southern Morocco.
As we continue, we’ll pass through Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the Sahara Desert and home to Morocco’s flourishing film industry. From there, we journey on to the Dades Valley, an area famed for its towering gorges and dramatic landscapes. Here, you’ll spend the night in a traditional riad or hotel, dining under the stars and experiencing the local Berber hospitality.
Day 2: Dades Valley to Merzouga – Into the Heart of the Desert
After breakfast with a view of the Dades Gorges, we’ll set out towards the Todra Gorge, a towering canyon famed for its sheer, 300m high rock walls. The journey through Todra is a highlight for many, offering an opportunity to walk along its base and marvel at the scale.
The road to Merzouga is where the scenery shifts from rugged mountains to the surreal expanse of the Sahara Desert. Here, in the late afternoon, you’ll mount camels and trek into the desert to your overnight camp. As the sun sets over the dunes, you’ll enjoy a traditional meal and spend the night in a Berber tent under the stars, an experience that is as unforgettable as it is transformative.
Day 3: Merzouga to Fes – Ancient Cities and Endless Landscapes
Waking up to the sunrise over the Sahara is a surreal experience. After breakfast in the desert, you’ll begin the long but scenic drive to Fes. This route takes you through a variety of landscapes, including the Middle Atlas Mountains and the Ziz Valley, known for its palm trees and ancient kasbahs.
As you approach Fes, you’ll pass through the cedar forests of Azrou and the ski town of Ifrane, known for its alpine-style architecture and frequent snowfall in winter. Fes itself is a world unto its own, a living museum of medieval architecture, bustling souks, and ancient traditions.
Upon arrival in Fes, our tour concludes, leaving you amidst the endless wonders of one of Morocco’s most treasured cities. The journey from Marrakech to Fes is not just a travel of distance, but a travel through time, offering a glimpse into the soul of Morocco.
