Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Azrou – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Desert (Approx. 465 km)

Your Fes 5 Days Tour to Marrakech will begin by picking you up in the morning. We immediately head south, and up into the high, cool, Middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop would be the lovely town of Ifrane known as the Switzerland of Morocco, with its distinct alpine architecture. This is followed by a halt at the old cedar forest near Azrou. Here, there is always the pleasant Barbary macaques- a happy wildlife experience to any Atlas Mountains Tour. We proceed, having lunch in Midelt. Then the landscape becomes quite different and we trace Ziz Valley.
You pause, and look at the grandiose, wide groves of palms, a very strong image of the pre-Saharan scenery. We get to Merzouga where your adventure in the desert starts. More importantly, you will be taken on a sunset walk across the legendary Erg Chebbi dunes with your guide and camels, and then have dinner and sleep in the stars in a glamour camp.
Moreover, we suggest to tourists to stand in the silence of the Azrou forest, and breathe the air of the pine, it is intoxicating. It is seeing the sunset on the top of the dune on this first night that will attest to the vastness and the sublime beauty of this Morocco Desert Trip.

Day 2: Explore Merzouga Region – Nomads, Gnawa Music & Dunes (Approx. 80 km loop)

Rise early on your second day to the famous Sahara sunrise- an up-forceful silent scene that characterizes a Desert Tour Morocco. Then, you have breakfast and get back to the village. Nowadays we spend a pleasant day in more or less local exploration. We take a tour in off-road to Khamlia village, where you listen to the harmonic Gnawa music, where you are overwhelmed by the captivating, soulful rhythms.
Then, we move to a local, nomadic Berber family, where we drink the traditional, Whiskey Berber tea and get to know about their tough life- a pure experience. We go to archaic eyeliner mines and the seasonal Dayet Srji lake as well. This additional, non rush day makes your 5 Days Tour Fes to Marrakech not only a journey by vehicle but exploration of the culture. Your second night is spent in a hotel/riad at the extreme end of the dunes preparing to take on the following leg.

Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley (Approx. 271 km)

The last stage of our journey includes a parting breakfast view of the dunes and then heading to the magnificent canyons. We begin by visiting the ancient capital of the Tafilalet, Rissani, and its ancient and tumultuous souk (market). Then we move to the scenic Todra Gorges. You are sure to enjoy the halt where the sheer canyon walls soar loftily to 300 meters in height where you can take an awesome, cool stroll along the riverbed. We go on to the Dades Valley, repute of marvellous geological features, the Monkey Fingers. Lastly, we pass through the gorgeous Valley of Roses and then enjoy dinner and an enjoyable night with fantastic sceneries in a lovely hotel in the Dades Gorges.
Furthermore, you will always remember the first glimpse of the light bouncing off the red rock walls of the Todra Gorges, it was dazzlingly beautiful, as though it was a cathedral of nature. This is the necessary place to visit during the Fes 5 Days Tour to Marrakech as it allows one to walk and appreciate the geology, and not merely take some pictures through the window.

Day 4: Dades Valley – Rose Valley – Skoura Oasis – Ouarzazate (Approx. 140 km)

Have a relaxing breakfast and proceed to the scenic drive. We initially pass the Dades Valley which is beautiful and we make some stops in order to see the peculiar formations of rock known as the Monkey Fingers. Then, we pass on up the Rose Valley, particularly perfumed by the rose-harvest in May. We come then to the huge Skoura Oasis. In this, you will be in an unbelievably preserved Kasbah Amridil, historical fortress which you will find as an invaluable source of connection with the ancient history of Morocco which is easily overlooked in other Fes tours.
We come to Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Africa after a local lunch. We pay a visit to Taourirt Kasbah and Atlas Film Studios that will give you an idea of the cinematic aspect of Morocco. This is the best situated additional night where one can relax. You have dinner and a stay over at Ouarzazate and are preparing to take the last leg.
The view of the Kasbah Amridil, which rises proudly against the palm groves of Skoura, is really wonderful; and you get the impression of coming upon a historical treasure of a secret. This is a leisurely day that will make you really enjoy the pre-Saharan atmosphere, before entering the high mountains.

Day 5: Ouarzazate – Ait Benhaddou – Telouet – Marrakech (Approx. 193 km)

On the last and fateful day of your Fes 5 Days Tour to Marrakech, we begin by an early departure. The first is a trip to an ancient fortified village (Ksar) of the iconic UNESCO world heritage site of Ait Benhaddou. You must also be aware of the fact that this Ksar is an international film center offering unprecedented photo opportunities. We start our crossing of the high mountains after visiting Ait Benhaddou. Importantly, we move to the magnificent Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2 260m) via the magnificent High Atlas Mountains, where we make several stops to view the breathtaking panoramic scenery of the Berber villages which are perched atop the hillsides. Then we slop down into the plain, into the bustling vitality of Marrakech in the end of the afternoon, and end your great Trips In Morocco desert adventure.
Moreover, you will have a deep seated closure in passing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass; the air is clean, the views are endless and it serves as a beautiful and reflective end to the long journey. This last day is not in a hurry and you arrive at Marrakech knowing that you have been working hard.
