Detailed itinerary:
On 3 days from Marrakech to Fes tour, you should expect to be picked up early in the morning. On an air-conditioned modern vehicle, we start the first day of the trip to the Atlas mountains, our first stop will be in the Argan oil cooperative, we will see a Small Berber village occupying a strategic position in the High Atlas Mountains, before arriving for a magical stop at the famous Kasbahs at Ait Ben Haddou.
Leaving Ait Ben Haddou will take us onto the city of Ouarzazate, the main access point and crossroads of the south. The city holds different and marvelous sights, the local Glaoui Kasbah of Taourirt deserves a visit. Movie fans may also enjoy the tour of the Atlas Film Corporation Studios. Plenty of films and movie series took place in areas such as the fifth season of Prison Break, the well-known Game Of Thrones, and The Vikings…etc
Having lunch at one of the local restaurants, we head deeper into the Dades Valley and enjoy the views of some of Morocco’s most spectacular canyons. At Boulmalne Dades where we stop off at a town which is right at the edge of the desert, we will stay over for the night at a comfortable guest house where we will have an evening meal and breakfast the next morning before continuing through the Dades Valley for Todra Gorge.
After breakfast, we start the second day of the tour driving straightway to the magnificent Todra Gorges, a massive steep-sided canyon carved by the river through the limestone in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains. It is a well-maintained area with asphalt roads guiding tourists around this vast canyon. You’ll witness rock climbers, people trying to see the top of the cliff face, and occasional flooding from the Dades River.
Having a stop to refresh and have a local yummy lunch, we head off to our final destination of the day, the Sahara Desert of Merzouga, but the best desert adventure part is yet to come.
Riding on camels through the golden sands of the desert is like something you’ll have only ever witnessed in films like Lawrence of Arabia, but you will hop on a dromedary for the final leg of today’s journey up to the Berber desert camp.
The camels will transport us through the Dunes of Erg Chebbi. With the choice to walk along with the guides. However, you’ll quickly realize that the camel ride is the easiest and most exciting experience of desert travel there is. Overnight stay in a Desert Camp.
On the final night of our 3 days from Marrakech to Fes Desert tour, you will have a great opportunity to test an unforgettable experience by spending a night in the middle of the Sahara Desert sleeping in a traditional Berber tent. The tent is well equipped and restful. You will feel the desert breeze at night as you may want to enjoy your evening meal under the stars (depending on the weather) with the music sound of gentle Moroccan drums to help you unwind.
The fresh air, jet black skies, and the occasional sound of the camel’s breathing will ensure most sleep peacefully through the desert night. In the morning, you will remain in the camp and sample a filling breakfast and prepare for the final day’s heading to Fes.
The last day of our 3 days desert trip from Marrakech to Fes will start right after breakfast when you are taking camels or a 4×4 vehicle back to Merzouga. We will head the road to Fes, passing by several amazing stop stations before getting to Fes.
First of all our modern air-conditioned transport will take us through the beautiful Ziz Valley. Where we will see a number of dramatic gorges, reddish-gold dunes, and numerous astonishing Oases within the Tafilalt. Here you will see the thick, lush canopy of palm trees blooming out from the sides and bottoms of cliff faces, truly spectacular sights of the rose-tinted golden sandstone buildings, and the deep gorges that meander throughout this picturesque valley.
Crossing the High Atlas Mountains will drop us in the city of Azrou which holds the famous Cedar forest where the Barbary apes live. 24 minutes drive will lead us to one of the best and cleanest cities in Morocco, Ifrane, it is known in Morocco as a “Little Switzerland” as it lies high up in the Atlas Mountains and it is known to snow during the winter season.
It is possible for you to find somewhere to enjoy lunch in Ifrane, or it might be easier (depending on the schedule) to stop over in the Ziz Valley or Midelt city. This beautiful inland Moroccan route is filled with photographic opportunities and stunning landscape scenery.
In the late afternoon, you will be dropped off at your accommodation in Fes. Marrakech Morocco Trips Team appreciates your presence during our 3 days desert adventure and hopefully, you enjoyed Morocco’s treasure.
