3 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech

Embark on an unforgettable multi-day journey across Morocco, traveling from Fez to Marrakech through some of the country’s most awe-inspiring landscapes and cultural treasures. Your adventure begins in Fez, winding southward through the charming alpine town of Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its European-style architecture and clean streets. As you continue, marvel at the lush Ziz Valley, known for its palm groves and dramatic gorges carved by the river, before arriving in Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

In Merzouga, prepare for a magical desert experience in the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Ride a camel into the vast expanse of sand just in time for sunset, then spend the night under the stars at a traditional Berber desert camp, complete with music, delicious food, and warm hospitality. Wake early to witness the sunrise over the dunes—an experience that will stay with you forever. From there, continue through the Todra and Dades Gorges, where towering canyon walls and scenic rock formations offer some of Morocco’s most dramatic natural scenery.

Your tour then leads westward through Ouarzazate, the cinematic capital of Morocco, and the nearby Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its earthen clay architecture and role in countless Hollywood films. As you travel over the High Atlas Mountains, take in breathtaking panoramic views before descending into vibrant Marrakech, where your desert adventure concludes. This route offers an ideal blend of nature, culture, and history, revealing the true soul of Morocco from the dunes to the mountains.
