Marrakech to Fes Tour 3 Days

Your Marrakech to Fes tour 3 days starts with an early departure from Marrakech, venture deep into the magnificent High Atlas Mountains to cross over the stunning Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 metres elevation. On the way, you will make several photo stops to take pictures of magnificent panoramic views and traditional Berber villages. A midday arrival at the world-renowned Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic examples of Moroccan earthen architecture.

The excursion then takes you to Ouarzazate, known as “Hollywood of Africa,”. Puase for lunch then continue on to Skoura Oasis. During the afternoon reach the Valley of Roses with its fragrant roses, finally to the gorgeous Dades Valley. This evening your accommodations will be in an enchanting hotel or guesthouse just under the towering rock formations of the Dades Gorges.

After breakfast overlooking the canyon, drive further through the Todgha Gorges, whose fortified villages will be an integral part of your trip. A quick drive brings you into the stunning Todra Gorges, where endless opportunities for trekking appear to walk among a riverbed with 300 metre high cliffs on either side and is also climbed in many spots by climbers as well as loved by all those that like nature. Along the way, wander through desert hamlets like Tinghir, Tinjdad and Erfoud while landscapes morph imperceptibly to arid expanses and dunes.

Late afternoon arrive to Merzouga where the golden Erg Chebbi dunes extend toward the horizon. This is where you will find your camels which will lead you into the Sahara just in time for an unforgettable sunset. You will then stay at a private desert camp to have traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber live music by the fire and sleep between stars.
