3 Days Desert tour from Fes to Marrakech

Your 3 days desert tour Fes to Marrakech begins with an early morning departure from Fes, heading south towards the Sahara. The journey takes you through the picturesque Middle Atlas Mountains. You’ll pass through Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” due to its alpine-style architecture and cool climate. Continue to the Azrou cedar forest, where you’ll have the chance to spot wild Barbary apes in their natural habitat. After a refreshing stop, you’ll pass through Midelt, known for its apples, and then drive along the stunning Ziz Valley, an extensive oasis filled with date palm trees, offering breathtaking panoramic views. As the day progresses, the landscape will gradually shift to the desert, and you’ll arrive in Merzouga. Here, you’ll meet your camel caravan and embark on an unforgettable camel trek deep into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Experience a mesmerizing Sahara sunset from atop a dune before arriving at your luxury desert camp for an unforgettable night with dinner under the stars and traditional Berber music around a campfire. This is a highlight of your Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days.

Wake up early today to witness a breathtaking Sahara sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the desert camp, you’ll ride camels back to Merzouga, where your driver will be waiting. Your Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days itinerary continues through the desert landscape, with an optional stop in Rissani, an ancient market town. From there, you’ll travel to the towering Todra Gorges, a magnificent canyon carved by the Todra River. You’ll enjoy a leisurely walk through Morocco’s most dramatic canyon, marveling at its impressive 300-meter-high walls. Afterward, you’ll continue to the Dades Valley, known for its unique rocky landscape and fascinating “monkey fingers” formations. You’ll spend the night in a beautiful hotel overlooking the valley, enjoying dinner and relaxing after a day of incredible natural wonders.

After breakfast in the Dades Valley, your 3 day Sahara tour from Fes to Marrakech continues through the picturesque “Valley of Roses” and the Skoura palm grove towards the cinematic city of Ouarzazate.
