Tour Plan
Your adventure begins in vibrant Marrakech. After breakfast, you’ll set off toward the High Atlas Mountains, winding through the scenic Tizi n’Tichka pass. Along the way, stop at charming Berber villages and enjoy sweeping views of valleys dotted with tiny farms.
Next, continue to the legendary Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its earthen clay architecture. After exploring its maze-like alleys, you’ll travel through the cinematic landscapes of Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco.” Finally, you’ll reach the peaceful Dades Valley, surrounded by dramatic rock formations, where you’ll settle in for the night.
After breakfast, your journey carries on through the Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs rise dramatically on both sides of the canyon. It’s the perfect spot for photos and a short walk along the river.
Next, continue driving through desert towns and palm-filled oases until you reach Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Here, your camel caravan awaits. As the sun begins to set, ride across the sweeping golden dunes of Erg Chebbi — an experience you’ll treasure forever.
At night, enjoy a traditional dinner under the stars in a desert camp. Listen to Berber music by the fire, watch the sky light up with countless stars, and fall asleep in the peaceful silence of the Sahara.
Wake up early to catch the magical sunrise over the dunes — the desert glowing in shades of gold and orange is truly unforgettable. After breakfast, you’ll leave Merzouga and begin your journey toward Fes.
On the way, drive through the Ziz Valley, known for its palm groves and ancient caravan routes. Then pass through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you’ll spot cedar forests and maybe even wild monkeys along the road. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in the cultural capital of Fes, ending your 3-day desert adventure.
