From Marrakech, 3-Day Desert Tour to Fes

Explore the mysteries of the Sahara Desert during a three-day guided tour, combining visits to Morocco's historic capitals, Marrakech and Fes, with a scenic desert excursion in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Embark on a comprehensive three-day tour exploring the historical empires of Fes and Marrakech, two of Morocco’s most captivating cities.

Day 1: Departure from your starting point begins with an early pick-up service, ensuring a smooth transition into the high-altitude terrain of the High Atlas Mountains. Following this, proceed towards the picturesque village of Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, known for its ancient fortresses and traditional architecture. Upon arrival, embark upon a guided stroll through the historic district, followed by a leisurely lunch in Ait Ben Haddou. Next, take a scenic route northward towards the Dades Valley, traversing the Dades River and appreciating the breathtaking views of the setting sun. Your next destination is the charming city of Boumalne Dades, situated amidst the rugged beauty of the desert landscape. Upon reaching there, pause briefly to admire the stunning natural surroundings. Proceed further to the Kasbah Amazigh, where you'll spend the night in a luxurious and authentic environment, offering both basic accommodations and private tents for those seeking added privacy and comfort.

Day 2: Begin your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel. Journey onward to the tranquil oasis town of Tinghir, renowned for its serene ambiance and lush landscapes. Engage in an optional half-hour walking excursion along the banks of the river, culminating in a delightful visit to Todgha Gorges. Post-lunch, board your camel caravan bound for Merzouga, a mystical haven set against the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. Enjoy the mesmerizing sight of the sunset as you traverse the dunes of Erg Chebbi, taking in the panoramic view of the desert. Upon returning to your campsite, unwind in your chosen tent—either the standard option or the deluxe version, equipped with flush-toilets, hot showers, and gourmet meals served under the starlit sky.

Day 3: Wake up refreshed after a sumptuous breakfast. Embark on a journey along the Ziz River, passing by picturesque palmtrees and fortified ksours en route to Midelt, a lesser-known gem hidden within the heart of the Atlas Mountains. For lunch, savor the flavors of the region at your designated stop. As the sun sets, gear up for the final leg of your trip back to Fes, traversing the Middle Atlas Mountains. Witness a striking contrast in landscape as you ascend from the sandy deserts to verdant forests and rich vegetation. Upon arriving in Fes, settle into your riad or hotel, ready for the remainder of your adventure.
