Fes To Marrakech Desert Tour

Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Cedar Forest – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Desert

Your fes to marrakech tour begins with an early pickup from your hotel or the airport in Fes. The journey heads south through Imouzzer to Ifrane, known for its cool climate, snow, and alpine-style homes. It’s often called the Switzerland of Morocco. Next, you’ll visit the cedar forest, home to the Barbary macaques. Feel free to feed them while exploring the woods.

The trip continues to Midelt, where lunch is provided. Then, you’ll drive through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and follow the Ziz River, leading to the Sahara Desert. In Merzouga, you’ll switch to camels to cross the golden dunes. Along the way, you’ll stop to watch a breathtaking sunset atop a high dune. Once you arrive at the desert camp, enjoy Berber drum music and dancing around the campfire under a sky full of stars. Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.

Day 2: Merzouga – Rissani – Erfoud – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley

Start your day early to witness the desert sunrise. After breakfast, return to Merzouga by camel, where your driver will be waiting. The next stop is Rissani, the former capital of Tafilalet and a lively trade hub with a bustling souk on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

After exploring the souk, continue to Erfoud to visit a fossilized marble workshop. The journey proceeds through the palm groves of Touroug and Tinjdad, leading to the Todra Gorges. The Todra River has carved out towering red cliffs, making it a popular spot for rock climbers. Take some time to walk through the gorge and admire its beauty. Lunch is served at a local restaurant.

From there, drive through the Skoura palm groves before reaching Ouarzazate, often called the “gateway to the desert.” You’ll visit film studios where many famous movies were shot.

Next, head to the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site and filming location for movies like Gladiator and shows like Game of Thrones. From here, the drive takes you through the Tizi-n-Tichka pass in the High Atlas Mountains. Stops will be made for lunch and scenic photos.
