4 DAYS TOUR FROM MARRAKECH TO FES VIA MERZOUGA

Our remarkable 4-day desert expedition commences as we warmly welcome you at the Marrakech airport or your chosen hotel or riad. With excitement in the air, we embark on an adventure that will leave an indelible mark on your memory.

Our journey winds through the Atlas Mountains, leading us to the awe-inspiring Tizi n’Tichka pass. At an elevation of 2260 meters, this mountain crossing stands as the highest point on Moroccan roads. The breathtaking scenery of the Atlas unfolds before us, a testament to the beauty that lies ahead.

As our path meanders, Ouarzazate emerges on the horizon. Nestled amidst the arid landscape, this city holds a cinematic secret. A visit to the Atlas Film Studios unveils the magic of movie-making in this unlikely desert setting. These decaying sets, though worn by time, offer a unique glimpse into the creative spirit that has graced this location.

Venturing beyond the city’s limits, we find ourselves at the doorstep of legends: the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a canvas for cinematic masterpieces like Gladiator and The Kingdom of Heaven, this citadel exudes history from every corner. As we explore its labyrinthine alleys and ornate architecture, the echoes of the past resonate.

Our journey continues towards Dades Gorges, where time seems to stand still. Here, you’ll have the privilege of immersing yourself in the enchanting Todra and Dades Gorges. These sister canyons, embraced by the Eastern High Atlas Mountains, create a striking landscape near the town of Tinghir. With free time to wander, you can capture the essence of these natural wonders, allowing their beauty to seep into your soul.

As the sun’s rays gently touch the horizon, we rise to a nourishing breakfast at the Dades Valley hotel, preparing to embark on another day of wonder. Our journey takes us to the enchanting Todra Gorges, where nature’s hand has sculpted awe-inspiring landscapes that have been cherished by the Berbers who call this place home.

Amidst the rugged terrain of the gorges, we find replenishment in the intricate beauty that surrounds us. The towering cliffs stand as sentinels to a world that beckons exploration, offering vistas that weave tales of time and tenacity.

Continuing our odyssey, we traverse the vibrant palm grove of Jorf, a tapestry of life amidst the desert’s embrace. Our path leads us to the quaint town of Erfoud, where tradition thrives. Here, we step into the world of a traditional marble workshop, a testament to the skilled hands that shape this land’s treasures.

As the sun gracefully dips below the horizon, a new chapter unfolds in the heart of the Moroccan sky. Arriving at the mesmerizing Merzouga Desert, anticipation swells as we make our way to the Haimas camp – our sanctuary amidst the dunes. Two nights of enchantment await, framed by starlit skies and the desert’s serene embrace.

The evening’s magic is heightened by an exhilarating camel ride, your companions through the tranquil sands. The sun’s descent casts a warm orange glow, guiding your journey through the dunes, a dance between earth and sky. As the day draws to a close, a sumptuous dinner awaits under the celestial dome, the desert’s stars your companions.

Leave behind the bustling rhythms of urban life. Say farewell to schedules that press and trains that race. Today, a new experience awaits – a dawn that awakens your senses in a way you’ve never known before. As the first light of day kisses the desert expanse, you’ll witness a sunrise over the Merzouga Desert, where the dunes are bathed in hues of scarlet. It’s a moment that lingers, leaving an indelible mark on your soul.

With this ethereal spectacle as your backdrop, you’ll savor a breakfast that’s more than a meal; it’s a communion with nature’s grandeur. The sands underfoot, the endless horizon, and the shifting colors of dawn compose a symphony of wonder.

Our exploration continues as we venture off-road into the Erg Chebbi dunes, the majestic giants of Morocco. The silence of the desert envelops you, allowing a profound connection with the land and the sky. Each rise and fall of the dunes tells stories of time and patience, a canvas painted by the gentle hand of nature.

Journeying further, we pause at Khamlia village, a haven of culture and music. Immerse yourself in the enchanting melodies of Gnawa music, a captivating sound that resonates with the spirit of the land. Here, time takes on a different rhythm, and the world opens its doors to you.

Our route then leads us to Mifis, a realm of metal mines. This venture is yours to explore independently, an opportunity to engage with the earth’s hidden treasures on your own terms.

As the sun’s journey across the sky nears its end, we return you to your respective riad hotels, where a delectable dinner awaits. It’s a meal that’s more than nourishment; it’s a celebration of the day’s journey, a taste of Morocco’s heart and soul.

Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at the base of the magnificent Merzouga dunes. Charged with the energy of the desert, we set our sights on the north, heading towards Rissani – a city that carries the echoes of the past, once the capital of the Alawish sultans. As you delve into its history, the layers of time come alive, revealing the stories etched into its streets and architecture.

Our journey continues as we traverse the enchanting Ziz Valley, where nature’s bounty flourishes against the backdrop of the desert’s embrace. The Middle Atlas Mountains unfold their splendor, leading us to the captivating town of Ifrane. Known as “the Moroccan Switzerland,” Ifrane’s charm lies in its European-inspired architecture and serene ambiance.

From the embrace of Ifrane, our final stretch takes us towards the cultural heart of Fes. As your time with us draws to a close, we ensure you have ample time to prepare for your departure.
