Highlights

Fes - Ifrane- Midlt - Merzouga

Merzouga Desert - Departing from Fez, embark on an exploratory journey through the Merzouga desert to Marrakech, uncovering the rich culture of the Berbers in southeastern Morocco. The tour begins in Fez, often referred to as the small Switzerland of Morocco. After a brief city tour, we proceed to the cedar forest in Azrou, where you can encounter the local Barbary monkeys and even feed them for some memorable photos. As we traverse the Middle Atlas mountain range along the Ziz valley, there will be opportunities to photograph Morocco’s second-largest palm grove, stretching over 150 km. We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to the Erg Chebbi dunes in the village of Merzouga. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and check into your hotel to freshen up before embarking on a camel ride adventure across the dunes, culminating in a night spent in the desert.

Merzouga Desert - Erfoud - Toudgha Gorges - Tinghir

Tinghir - After a sunrise camel ride and breakfast, we will head towards Tinghir via the Toudgha Gorges, arriving in the afternoon to spend the night at a local hotel.

Tinghir - Rose Valley - Ouarzazate - Ait Ben Haddou - Marrakech

Marrakech-Safi - We will set off early in the morning towards Ouarzazate, the movie capital, known for its kasbahs, including the Taourirt World Heritage Site and some of the region’s most stunning palaces. Nearby, we’ll visit the cinema museum and film studios where many international films, such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, Game of Thrones, and Babel, were shot. A short 20 km drive will take us to the famous kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. After exploring the kasbah, we’ll continue our journey across the High Atlas Mountains, admiring the breathtaking landscapes and hidden Berber villages nestled in the vast valleys. (Optional: We can have lunch at a local restaurant on the Tichka pass or in Ait Ben Haddou Village) before finally dropping you off in Marrakech.
