Discover the essence of Morocco on a Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days. This trip offers an incredible opportunity to experience the Sahara Desert firsthand, starting with a camel ride across the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes and a night in a luxury desert camp, where you can enjoy the tranquility of the Merzouga sands.
On this 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech, you’ll travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you’ll spot Barbary macaques in the cedar forests near Azrou. You’ll also visit the awe-inspiring Todra Canyon, explore the historic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, and traverse the High Atlas Mountains on your way to Marrakech. This trip combines breathtaking landscapes with rich cultural experiences.
Your Morocco desert tour begins with a morning departure from your hotel or riad in Fes. We head towards the captivating desert landscapes of Merzouga. Our first stop is Ifrane, known as the ‘Switzerland of Morocco’ due to its alpine-style architecture and cooler climate.
Continuing through the Middle Atlas Mountains, we pause in the cedar forests of Azrou to observe the Barbary macaques, a unique primate species native to the region. Lunch will be enjoyed at a restaurant en route, allowing for flexibility and relaxation.
As we approach Merzouga, we’ll take in the scenic views of the Ziz Valley, a lush oasis with abundant palm trees. Arriving in the late afternoon, you’ll embark on a camel trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. We’ll pause to watch the sunset from a high dune before arriving at your luxury desert camp. Enjoy an evening under the stars with traditional Berber music and storytelling around a campfire.
Wake up early to witness a tranquil sunrise over the dunes. After a delicious breakfast at your camp, choose between a camel trek or a 4×4 ride back to Merzouga.
From Merzouga, we travel to Boumalne Dades, passing through Rissani, Erfoud, and the impressive Todra Gorge. If your visit falls on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, explore the traditional market in Rissani and experience the local culture. Stroll through the Todra Gorge and enjoy the striking rock formations.
Arriving in Boumalne Dades, we’ll take a scenic drive through the Dades Valley, famous for its dramatic rock formations known as the ‘monkey fingers.’ Spend the night in a charming hotel, nestled in the heart of the Dades Valley.
On the final day of your Fes to Marrakech desert tour, start with breakfast at your accommodation before driving to Ait Ben Haddou. Travel through the scenic Valley of Roses and Ouarzazate, passing through picturesque Berber villages.
In Ouarzazate, you may visit the Atlas Studio or take memorable photos from outside. Just 15 kilometers away is the iconic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, famous for its roles in films such as Game of Thrones and Gladiator.
After exploring the Kasbah and enjoying lunch, continue your journey through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass. Arrive in Marrakech by late afternoon, concluding your 3-day desert excursion with an unforgettable Moroccan adventure.
