Description

During this Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour, your clients start in Marrakech, one of the most vibrant cities in Morocco. After leaving the city, they quickly enter the High Atlas Mountains, where the landscape changes from urban to rural. The road climbs to the Tizi n’Tichka pass, with many turns and beautiful views over valleys and small Berber villages. This part of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour is very scenic and offers many photo opportunities.

From the pass, the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour continues toward the famous Ait Benhaddou, a fortified ksar built of earth and stone. Travelers can walk through the narrow streets, see traditional houses, and climb to the top for a view of the village and the river. Ait Benhaddou is a highlight of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour and a key reason why many people choose this route.

After visiting Ait Benhaddou, the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour goes through Ouarzazate, known as the “door of the desert.” The route then follows the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, passing the Skoura palm grove and the Valley of Roses. In the afternoon, travelers arrive in the Dades Valley, where they can see unusual rock formations and views over the Dades gorges. They spend the night in a local guesthouse or kasbah, which is a charming part of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour.

On the next stage of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour, the road leads to Tinghir and the Todra Gorge, a deep canyon with high vertical cliffs. Travelers can walk along the riverbed and enjoy the fresh air and the impressive rock walls. The tour then continues through the Tafilalet region, crossing palm groves and desert-like landscapes until reaching Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes.

In Merzouga, the most iconic moment of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour takes place: the camel trek into the Sahara Desert. Your clients ride camels into the dunes, usually at sunset, when the light is soft and the sand changes color. They arrive at a Berber desert camp, where they have dinner, listen to music, and watch the stars. Sleeping in a tent in the Sahara is often the highlight of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour.

The following day of the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour is dedicated to the desert region around Merzouga and Erg Chebbi. Travelers can watch the sunrise over the dunes, visit Khamlia village for Gnawa music, explore small villages and fossil sites, or relax at a hotel or riad. This flexible day allows people to enjoy the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour at their own pace.

Later, the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour leaves the Sahara and heads north. The route passes through Errachidia and the beautiful Ziz Valley, with its long line of palm trees and villages. After a stop in Midelt, the road enters the Middle Atlas, with cedar forests near Azrou, where travelers may see Barbary macaques. The Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour also passes through Ifrane, a clean and green town often called “Little Switzerland of Morocco,” before finally arriving in Fes.

In Fes, the last part of the Tour focuses on culture and history. A local guide can lead travelers through the medina of Fes el-Bali, showing madrasas, mosques, tanneries, markets, and historic neighborhoods. This final city visit completes the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour, offering a strong contrast between the desert, the mountains, and one of Morocco's most important cultural centers.
