Day 1: MARRAKECH → HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS → AIT BEN HADDOU KASBAH → DADES GORGES

You start your adventure at an early stage in Marrakech, leave the busy city, and head into the pure High Atlas Mountains. On the way up and down twisting routes, you must pull over at Tizi n’Tichka Pass to capture panoramic mountain and valley scenes the best way to stretch your legs and to take breathtaking photographs.

The expedition is then carried on to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its traditional mud-brick construction and its film history. Stroll the little streets, dream about the life that happened centuries ago, and take the pictures that will stay with you forever. Then continue and bypass the vibrant Skoura Oasis, which is covered with ancient kasbahs and palm trees that are waving in the wind. 

The day will finish in the Dades Valley, where you will be able to relax in a cozy lodge, have a good Moroccan dinner, and see the sunset create a golden and pink colour in the valley, one of the best beginnings of your adventure on the 4 day Marrakech to Fes desert tour.

Day 2:  DADES GORGES → TODRA GORGE → MERZOUGA DESERT

Following breakfast, get ready to embark on an adventure through the well-known Road of 1000 Kasbahs, a road that is lined with ancient fortresses and spectacular scenery. Check out Todra Gorge, where high cliffs are poking out on both sides, creating a natural playfield of photography and short walks. Next, pass by Erfoud and Rissani, which are small towns with all the Moroccan flair and a rundown on the life of the locals. 

On arriving at Merzouga, the Saharan sand dunes of golden sand stand in front of you. Enjoy riding a camel and experience the smooth swings as you walk through Erg Chebbi and watch the sun set the sky to dull hues of orange and red. After arriving at the luxury desert camp, one can have classic Moroccan food with a star-studded sky. This is a priceless moment, serene, and unforgettable.

Day 3: Merzouga → Erg Chebbi

On your 4 day desert tour Marrakech to Fes, you wake up early to watch the sunrise slowly rise over the endless dunes of Merzouga. The golden light spreads across the sand and makes the whole desert look peaceful and magical. After breakfast, your day continues with a ride straight into the heart of Erg Chebbi, the tallest and most famous dunes in Morocco. Here, you can try exciting activities like sandboarding, quad biking, or even camel trekking across the soft, rolling hills of sand. 

Your guide may also take you to visit a nomadic Berber family, where you can see their simple tents, learn how they live in the desert, and enjoy their warm hospitality. Spend time walking on the warm sand, breathing the clean desert air, and listening to the calm silence around you. This whole day is all about adventure, nature, and feeling the peaceful spirit of the Sahara.

Day 4: MERZOUGA → ZIZ VALLEY → IFRANE → FES

You will have to forget about the desert in the end and go to the Ziz Valley, a beautiful place with palm trees, traditional villages, and winding roads. Visit Ifrane, the so-called Little Switzerland, with its distinctive European architecture, neat streets, and peaceful nature, which is a complete contrast to the vastness of the desert. 

Keep on to Fes and leave behind you, unbelievable recollections of mountains, dunes, and Moroccan culture. You will be attached to the scenery of Morocco, its people, and the exploits you have experienced, and the memories will remain with you even after you have gone back home.
