4 Days from Marrakech to Fes Sahara tour

Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

Begin your journey with an early departure from Marrakech. Drive through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains, admiring panoramic views and traditional Berber villages.

Stop at the legendary Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed fortress and one of Morocco’s most iconic sites. Walk its narrow alleys and imagine scenes from Gladiator or Game of Thrones.

Continue to Ouarzazate, also known as the Hollywood of Africa, then head through the Valley of Roses. Reach the stunning Dades Valley by evening and stay overnight in a local guesthouse or riad.

Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Merzouga – Erg Chebbi

After breakfast, travel through the winding Dades roads to the breathtaking Todra Gorges. Towering cliffs and a peaceful river make this a great place for a short hike.

Continue your drive south through the desert towns of Erfoud and Rissani, known for fossil discoveries and vibrant markets. By late afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes.

Mount your camel and ride into the desert. Watch the sun set over the golden sands before reaching your Sahara desert camp. Enjoy a traditional dinner, Berber music, and a night under the stars in your tented camp.

Day 3: Explore the Sahara – Nomads – Khamlia – Desert Adventures

Start your day with a magical sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, enjoy a full day exploring the Erg Chebbi area.

Visit Khamlia village, where you’ll hear soulful Gnawa music. Meet nomadic families, discover fossil sites, and try optional desert activities like sandboarding or 4×4 rides.

Return to your camp or stay in a traditional kasbah near the dunes. Enjoy another beautiful evening in the desert’s calm and starry embrace.

Day 4: Merzouga – Ziz Valley – Midelt – Ifrane – Fes

After breakfast, begin your journey north toward Fes. Pass through the lush Ziz Valley, famous for its palm groves and oases.

Stop in Midelt, a small town nestled between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains, for lunch. Then continue through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas. If you’re lucky, you might spot wild monkeys along the road.

Drive through Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco,” before arriving in Fes in the late afternoon or evening. Your unforgettable Sahara tour ends here.
