Day 1: Fes - Ifrane - Midelt - Erfoud - Merzouga - Erg Chebbi

After breakfast in Fes, we start our day bright and early and travel south toward Merzouga. Along the way, you will pass through Ifrane, known worldwide as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style European houses with sloping roofs, quite different from traditional Moroccan architecture. Situated at 1,630 meters above sea level, Ifrane is surrounded by striking natural beauty, and its National Park is a perfect spot to stop and observe the Barbary Macaque monkeys that live in the extensive cedar tree forest. Next, we will stop for lunch in Midelt, known as “the apple city”. After lunch, our journey continues over the Tizi N’Talghamt pass into the Ziz Valley, famous for its hidden oases and palm trees. We then travel on to Erfoud, known for its date festival and fossil mining, until we finally arrive at Erg Chebbi, an extensive sea of sand dunes. At Erg Chebbi, we leave the car behind to join on an unforgettable camel trek experience over the high sand dunes of the desert. Your local guides will show how to safely mount and dismount on camels, ensuring you have a comfortable and secure ride. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the sunset from atop a high dune before continuing to your desert camp. After a delicious dinner at the camp, relax under the stars as you listen to Berber music played by local nomads. If you love dancing, feel free to join in and dance to the rhythms of the music. You’ll be amazed by the starlit sky above you, then, before you go to your tent. Driving distance Approximately 469 kilometers Estimated driving duration 7 hr 04 min (without traffic and stops) Accommodation Overnight stay at a desert camp Meals Dinner

Day 2; Merzouga - Rissani - Erfoud - Todra Gorges - Dades Gorges

Before returning to the meeting point, you’ll wake up early to witness the beautiful sunrise over the golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Watch as the early light reflects the large sea of sand. After this unforgettable moment, return to your desert camp for a shower and a delicious breakfast. Once you’ve had your breakfast, you’ll ride back to the camel departure point and prepare for the next step of your desert trip. We’ll leave the vast desert behind as we travel toward the historic city of Rissani, once a major stop on the ancient Sahara caravan routes. If your visit coincides with the local market days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays), you’ll have the opportunity to explore the largest souk in the region. Our journey continues with a stop in Erfoud, known as the Fossil Town, before heading into the Dades Valley. As we travel, you’ll pass through charming villages such as Jorf, Tinjdad, and Tinghir, eventually arriving at Todra Valley, a green oasis surrounded by mud villages and towering mountains. After a 30-minute drive, we reach Todra Gorges, a dramatic, narrow passage with vertical cliffs rising 300 meters on each side, popular with climbing lovers. We then continue our journey into the Dades Valley, where we’ll stop at majestic sand castles, unique rock formations known as “monkey toes”, and beautiful mud kasbahs. You will spend the night in the tranquil surroundings of the Dades Valley. Driving distance Approximately 264 kilometers Estimated driving duration 4 hr 00 min (without traffic and stops) Accommodation Overnight stay at hotel/riad Meals Breakfast Dinner

Day 3; Dades Gorges - Roses Valley - Skoura - Ouarzazate - Kasbah Ait Benhaddou - Marrakech

Today, we leave the Dades Valley with a final glimpse of its best views before starting on our journey to Marrakech. You’ll travel along the famous Road of One Thousand Kasbahs, a spectacular route winding through beautiful ancient fortresses. Next, we’ll take a break at Kalaat M’Gouna, also known as the Valley of Roses. In this amazing place, you’ll have the chance to purchase rose products and experience the local culture, especially during the annual rose festival in May. Continuing through the Skoura region, we then arrive in Ouarzazate, where you’ll visit the famous film studios, known as the Hollywood of Africa, for a glimpse into where many famous movies were shot. Next, drive to explore and visit the historic Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a former caravan stop now celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular filming location for international films. Enjoy lunch at a restaurant in the village. Finally, we’ll travel through the Tizi N’Tichka pass, which offers impressive vistas of valleys, mountains, and nearby Berber villages, until we reach Marrakech by the evening. This marks the end of our services for the 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech.
