Join us on an unforgettable 3-Day Desert Trip from fes to Marrakech. This journey is designed for travelers who want to traverse the very best of Morocco’s diverse landscapes—from the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas and the lush Ziz Valley oasis to the golden, towering dunes of the Sahara and the historic mud-brick kasbahs of the south.
Why choose this tour? Because it is the most efficient and scenic way to bridge two of Morocco’s most iconic cities. You’ll swap the hectic city life for the serenity of the dunes and the dramatic beauty of the Atlas Mountains, all while traveling in comfort with an expert local guide who brings the culture, history, and hidden secrets of the desert to life.
Depart Fes and ascend into the cool air of the Middle Atlas. We stop in Ifrane, known for its European-style architecture, before passing through the apple orchards of Midelt. As we descend into the Ziz Valley, the landscape shifts into a vast, lush palm oasis. By late afternoon, we reach the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Trade your vehicle for a camel, trek into the golden dunes at sunset, and settle into your luxury desert camp for an evening of Berber music and stargazing.
Wake early to witness the Sahara sunrise—a truly spiritual desert moment. After breakfast, we head toward Rissani to explore its vibrant, traditional market. We continue to the spectacular Todgha Gorge, where you can hike between massive 300m cliffs. The day concludes in the Dades Valley, where you’ll enjoy dinner at a cliffside hotel overlooking the surreal “Monkey Fingers” rock formations.
Journey through the fragrant Valley of Roses and stop in Ouarzazate to visit the world-renowned film studios. Our final major highlight is the historic ksar of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and iconic film location. After exploring the ancient clay alleys, we cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, arriving in Marrakech by early evening to conclude your desert tour.
