Highlights

Fes - Ifran - Azrou - Midelt - Merzouga

Fes - Our driver will meet you at your accommodation early in the morning. Sit back and enjoy a unique and scenic ride in your private, air-conditioned vehicle.

Ifrane - Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco”, is a charming mountain town nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Known for its Alpine-style architecture, clean streets and refreshing climate, Ifrane offers a unique and tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Azrou - Azrou is a picturesque town located in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco, known for its magnificent cedar forests and vibrant Berber culture. The town serves as the gateway to the nearby Ifrane National Park and is renowned for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. Visitors to Azrou can explore the lush cedar forests, which are home to a population of Barbary macaques, a species of monkey native to the region.

Midelt - Midelt is a captivating city nestled in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Located at the crossroads between the Middle Atlas and High Atlas regions, Midelt offers breathtaking landscapes characterized by green valleys, steep mountains and fertile plains.

Merzouga - A once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Merzouga, the majestic gateway to the Sahara Desert. Start your adventure with an exciting camel ride through the mesmerizing dunes of Erg Chebbi, while the golden sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Feel the gentle sway of the camel beneath you as you traverse the vast desert landscape, immersing yourself in the tranquility of this extraordinary environment.

As the sun sets, watch the desert come alive with vibrant hues of orange and pink, painting the sky in a breathtaking spectacle of color. Arrive at your desert camp nestled among the dunes, where traditional Berber hospitality awaits you. Enjoy a warm welcome with mint tea and traditional music, before settling into your cozy tent decorated with colorful rugs and soft cushions.

Merzouga – ERFOUD – TINGHIR – DADES VALLEY

Merzouga Desert - We will wake up early to watch the sunrise at the top of a desert dune. It’s definitely something you’ll want to do one day. On the second day of your desert trip from Fez to Marrakech, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast before continuing your Moroccan adventure through the desert.

Erfoud - After a refreshing break at the hotel, we continue our journey to Tineghir, then Erfoud. Our journey then continues towards Tinejdad as we head west into the southern half of Morocco. Walking along the banks of the Todra River, you will see many waterfalls, beautiful places and some Berber villages before resuming our route towards the impressive Boumalne Dades valley.

Boumalne Dades - You’ll have ample opportunity to hike through the Todra Gorge, capturing as many photos as your camera can take and enjoying lunch along the way. A leisurely dinner, shower and overnight hotel accommodation will complete your final night on the 3-day Fez to Marrakech tour, allowing you to get plenty of rest before the final day’s push to Marrakech.

DADES VALLEY– OUARZAZATE– KASBAH AIT BEN HADDOU– MARRAKECH

Ouarzazate - On this day, the journey from Fez to Marrakech across the Sahara ends, but not without another adventure filled with fun and wonder as we approach this ancient city. You will discover the legendary city of Ouarzazate, located just east of the High Atlas mountain range.

The city has a 19th century palace, a huge kasbah and a rugged landscape that has been used in many films like Gladiator, The Mummy and Game of Thrones, to name a few.

Ait Ben Haddou - One of the key stages of the day takes place at the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, and the highlight of the afternoon is certainly the crossing of the High Atlas mountains. The Tizi N’Tichka pass is particularly spectacular, reaching up to 2,300 meters above sea level.

Marrakech - After crossing this spectacular mountain range, your adventure climaxes with a 65-mile drive to Marrakech. This marks the end of your desert adventure from Fez.

Safe and wonderful road-trip with Yassine - Yassine was awesome! We were a family of 5 (grandparents, parents and a toddler). Quite a diverse age group but he took care of all our needs and requirements throughout our 6 day road trip. He was on time to pick us up every single time. We had a long trip from Casablanca-Fes-Merzouga-Ouarzazete-Marrakech. He is an excellent driver, is very familiar with the changing terrain. When you have such a long road trip, it’s important to have someone you can trust , is helpful and someone who is also fun! He was all that and more! He ensured we were having a good time and took us to all important panoramic view points and photo opportunities along the way. I can highly recommend him! Thanks Yassine!
