Your 5 Days Tour From Marrakech To Fes begins with an early pick-up from the airport or your hotel in Marrakech. From there, you’ll travel through the High Atlas Mountains and cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, we stop for great viewpoints over the valleys and peaks.

Next, we visit the Kasbah of Telouet, known for its history and mountain setting. After that, we continue to the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a fortified village listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has also been used as a filming location for movies like Gladiator, Alexander, and The Mummy, plus the TV series Game of Thrones.

Later, we drive to Ouarzazate, often called the gate to the desert. Dinner and overnight stay in a hotel.

After breakfast, we tour Ouarzazate. We start with the Atlas Studios, where many well-known films were shot. Then we visit Taourirt Kasbah, a striking mud-brick fortress and one of Morocco’s best-known ksars.

Next, we head east to Skoura to see Amridil Kasbah, surrounded by wide palm groves. After that, we continue to Kalaa Magouna, home of the Rose Valley. Each May, locals celebrate the Rose Festival and sell rose products like perfumes, rose water, oils, and cosmetics.

In the afternoon, we drive toward Boumalne Dades and the Dades Valley. We stop at the “monkey fingers” rock formations and at a viewpoint high above the valley. Dinner and overnight in a hotel in Boumalne Dades.

After breakfast, we continue to Todra Gorges, where the river carved a dramatic canyon with tall red cliffs. Take time to walk through the gorge and enjoy the fresh air and views.

Then we drive through the palm groves of Touroug and Tinjdad, with a lunch stop along the way. By late afternoon, we reach Merzouga and the edge of the Sahara Desert. You’ll switch to camels and ride across the dunes. We’ll pause on a high dune so you can watch the sunset.

After that, you continue to a luxury desert camp. In the evening, enjoy Berber drum music around the campfire under a sky full of stars. Dinner and overnight in the camp.

An early wake-up is recommended to catch sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, you return by camel to Merzouga, where your driver meets you. Today is all about discovering the Merzouga region, known for its dunes, seasonal lake, old mines, fossil areas, and green oases.

We begin with an off-road drive to an old eyeliner (kohl) mine. Then we visit a nomad family in their hand-woven tent. You’ll see how they live and share a glass of Berber tea.

Next, we visit Khamlia village to enjoy Gnawa music and dance. Many residents have roots in sub-Saharan countries such as Mali, Sudan, and Niger. After lunch at a local restaurant, we take a walk through a palm grove. Later, we drive a short distance to Merzouga’s wild lake, also called Flamingo Lake when conditions bring birds to the water. Dinner and overnight in a hotel.

On the final day of your 5 Days Tour From Marrakech To Fes, you can wake up early for one last desert sunrise. After breakfast, return to Merzouga by camel or by the camp’s 4×4, depending on your preference.

We then leave the desert and visit Rissani, the former capital of Tafilalet and still a key trading town. Its souk is especially active on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. After some time in the market, we continue to Erfoud to visit a workshop that works with fossilized marble.

Next, we drive along the Ziz River and stop for a panoramic view over the Ziz Valley. After lunch in Midelt, we continue to the cedar forest, home to Barbary macaques. You can walk through the trees and see them up close.

Later, we stop in Ifrane, known for its cool weather, winter snow, and alpine-style homes. Many people call it the Switzerland of Morocco. Finally, we drop you off at your accommodation or the airport in Fes. End of the tour.
