Embark on a captivating 6-day marrakech to fes desert tour, venturing from the enchanting city of Marrakech to the ancient allure of Fes, all while traversing the awe-inspiring Sahara Desert. Across these 6 days and 5 nights, you’ll be treated to a tapestry of breathtaking destinations and remarkable experiences.
Our 6 day Marrakech to fes desert tour begins with an early pick-up from the airport or your Marrakech hotel. Then travel across the breathtaking High Atlas highlands and over the Tizi-N-Tichka pass. There will be stops for panoramic views of the magnificent scenery. Then we go to Telouat’s Kasbah.
Following that, we carry on to the well-known Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. A fortified settlement designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site . Furthermore, the Kasbah has appeared in numerous films, including Gladiator, Alexander, The Mummy, and others. As well as TV shows such as Game of Thrones. Then we travel to Ouarzazate, known as “the desert gate.”
Overnight: In Ouarzazate
Today we will visit the Atlas Studio, where many great films were made, as well as the Taourirt Kasbah in Ourzazate. Then, in Skoura, drive southeast to see Amridil Kasbah, which is bordered by palm groves. Then proceed to Rose Valley. Every year in May, a Rose Festival is held when residents sell their rose items such as fragrances, rose water, oil, and cosmetics. Then we travel through the Dades valley, stopping at a vantage point overlooking the valley to take in the beautiful scenery of the Dades gorges. Then we go to Todra Gorges, where the Todra River carved out a great canyon through the mountains, creating a high red cliff-sided gorge.
Feel free to roam around the gorges and take in the scenery. We arrive in the afternoon in the Sahara desert of Merzouga. Where you transfer to camels to traverse the dusty desert. You will be taken to the top of a high dune to see the spectacular sunset. Then proceed to the desert luxury camp, where you may listen to Berber drum music while dancing around a bonfire beneath a big open sky of stars. Dinner and sleeping at the camp.
Getting up early in the morning is essential if you want to see the lovely sunrise in the middle of the desert. Breakfast is optional. Then you return to Merzouga on camels, where the driver awaits. We plan to spend the day exploring the Merzouga area. There are other wonderful features in the area, including sand dunes, natural lakes, mines, fossil places, and spectacular oasis. Which are perfect locations for a variety of outdoor sports.
To begin our tour in Merzouga, we drive off-road to an ancient eyeliner mine. Then we pay a visit to the nomads in their handwoven tent. Learn about their way of life while sipping a cup of Berber tea.
The Khamlia village is our next stop, where you will experience Gnaoua music and dancing performances. Its residents come from Sub-Saharan African nations such as Mali, Sudan, and Niger. Lunch at a restaurant is optional. After that, we go for a walk in a palm tree forest. Then travel a few kilometers to witness Merzouga’s wild lake, commonly known as Flamingo Lake.
Dinner and sleeping at the camp.
We leave the desert after breakfast to explore Rissani town, the historical capital of Tafilalet. Rissani is still an important commercial hub in the region, with a bustling souk on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. We proceed to Erfoud after a stroll through Rissani souk, where we visit one of the fossilized marble factories. Following that, we travel down the Ziz river and halt for a panoramic view of the Ziz valley.
Lunch in Midelt is optional. Then we proceed to the cedar forest, which is home to the Barbary Macaques. You are welcome to feed them while exploring the forest. Then we go to Ifrane, which is known for its low temperatures, snow, and alpine-style residences; little surprise it is known as Morocco’s Switzerland.
Overnight in Fes.
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your Fes lodging to tour the city. In addition to being the cultural and religious heart of Morocco, the city is considered one of the imperial cities. We begin the day by going to the Royal Palace Gate. Then there’s the well-preserved medieval Medina, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Blue Gate, also known as Bab Boujloud, is the entrance to the old Medina. You will be accompanied by a local guide as you enter the Medina. To see the Medrasa Bouanania, the Najjarine fountain, the Tanneries, and lastly the Quaraouin mosque and university – the world’s oldest university. We then leave the Medina to explore the Jewish district, known as “the Mellah.”
