Authentic Fes to Marrakech desert tour 4 days

Your unforgettable journey begins with a 7:00 AM pickup from your hotel or riad in Fes by your driver from Fes Desert Trips. Travel through the stunning Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping first in Ifrane, often called “the Switzerland of Morocco” for its Alpine-style architecture and clean air.

Continue to the cedar forests of Azrou, where you may spot the native Barbary macaques in their natural habitat. As the landscape changes, journey through mountain passes and Berber villages until you reach Rissani, the historic gateway to the Sahara. The highlight of the day is the first view of the majestic Erg Chebbi sand dunes near Merzouga. Settle in for the night at a charming Kasbah or hotel at the foot of the dunes, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and be entertained by live Berber music.

Rise early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the dunes, followed by a camel ride back to your hotel for breakfast and a refreshing shower. The adventure continues as you drive toward Todra Gorges, a breathtaking canyon with towering limestone cliffs – a favorite among rock climbers and photographers.

Pass through the palm-filled Skoura Oasis and admire the lush landscapes. In the afternoon, arrive in Ouarzazate, known as “the Hollywood of Africa”, where you’ll visit the Taourirt Kasbah, a UNESCO-listed site. End the day with dinner and an overnight stay in Ouarzazate.

After breakfast, explore Ouarzazate’s famous film studios, where blockbuster movies and TV shows like Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed. Then, visit the iconic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest fortified village in Morocco.

Continue your scenic drive across the Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains, enjoying panoramic views and passing traditional Berber villages along the way. Arrive in Marrakech by late afternoon, where your Fes to Marrakech 4 days desert tour, ends with drop-off at your hotel or riad.
