Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour 4 Days

This desert tour from Fes to Marrakech starts with a pick-up. Our driver will wait for you at your riad/hotel in Marrakesh. We will then set off for the Dades Gorges. We will pass through Tizi-n-Tichka in the High Atlas Mountains.

We will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou there. It has been the backdrop for many films, like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Alexander. After lunch, we’ll visit the Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate.

Then, we’ll head southeast through the Roses Valley, famous for its annual Festival of Roses. We’ll also pass through the Berber villages of El Kelaa M’Gouna and Boumalene Dades. Where will spend the night in a hotel.

It’s the third day, but the adventure of the Sahara Desert tour has begun! After breakfast, we’ll set off for Erg Chebbi, Merzouga. We’ll enjoy the desert landscapes and pass the gravestones of Taouz. We will then hear the Gnawa music of Khamlia. We will have lunch in a small restaurant owned by a Gnawi person.

Then it is a short drive to a nearby hotel for some refreshments before a camel ride into the desert. All unnecessary luggage will be left in safe rooms at the hotel. The 90-minute camel trek will take us to a Berber camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, the highest in North Africa. The camp has several comfortable Berber tents. They have mattresses and linen. It also has a restaurant, a kitchen, and a ‘natural’ toilet. The evening will include dinner and then campfire entertainment by Berber drums.

A long drive today. Before sunrise, you will be woken up to climb the dunes for great photo ops. We will then make our way back to the hotel for showers and breakfast before setting off for Fez. We’ll pass through Erfoud, the Ziz Valley, Medilt, and the cedar forests and monkeys of Azrou.

Then, we’ll go to Ifrane before dropping you at your riad/hotel in Fez. The 4 days of the Sahara desert tour from Marrakech to Fes will be coming to an end! We truly hope you enjoyed the trip with our team!
