ITINERARY:
3 DAYS TOUR FROM FES TO MARRAKECH
Our 3 DAYS TOUR FROM FEZ TO MARRAKECH THROUGH THE DESERT begins with a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains, arriving in Ifrane, known as the "Switzerland of Morocco" due to its pictorial resemblance to a Swiss ski resort. Next, we venture into the cedar forest, where we encounter and interact with the cheerful Barbary macaque monkeys, capturing memorable photographs with them. Continuing our route south, we pass through charming Berber villages and wander through the countryside, witnessing nomadic shepherds tending their herds amidst the vast terrain. After a refreshing lunch break in Midelt, we continue over the Talghmt Pass, enjoying panoramic views of the stunning oasis hidden in the Ziz Valley, adorned with palm trees and mud villages. As the day progresses, we arrive in the Sahara Desert in the late afternoon, where we settle into our hotel for a delicious dinner and a comfortable overnight stay.
To fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Sahara, it is essential to get up early in the morning, which will allow you to witness the sunrise of your life. Board the camels and return to the hotel, where you will meet your driver. Our route west takes us through Rissani, a town known in the past as a vital trading center for caravans passing through Morocco and neighboring countries. If we coincide with the daytime markets held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, we will have the opportunity to explore the largest souk in the region. Continuing our expedition, we will reach Erfoud, a city famous for its fossil discoveries. Passing through picturesque Atlas Mountains and charming villages, we will head to the enchanting Todra Valley, a green oasis surrounded by ancient adobe villages. We will enjoy a delicious lunch in the village before venturing some 15 kilometers to reach the breathtaking Todra Gorges. Here, vertical cliffs rise up to 300 meters, while natural springs cascade down. Our journey continues through the captivating Dades Valley, where you will marvel at the sandcastle-like formations and peculiar rock structures affectionately known as "monkey fingers". Conclude the day by staying overnight in a hotel or riad that offers picturesque views of the Dades Valley.
After morning lunch on the last day of our 3-day excursion from Fez to Marrakech, through the desert, we will take a short walk through the canyons before our departure to Marrakech.
During our journey to the Dades Valley, we will pass through Kalaat M'Gouna, often known as the Valley of the Roses, as well as the famous Route of the Thousand Great Kasbahs. We will stop in the town of Ait Benhaddou for lunch on the way to Ouarzazate.
Before you is the opportunity to see the renowned UNESCO site, famous for its cinematic appearances in notable films such as "Gladiator" and "Lawrence of Arabia". Our chosen route will include crossing the port of Tizi N'Tichka to reach the city of Marrakech. Upon completion of the 3 days tour from Fez to Marrakech, our driver will take you to your accommodation in Marrakech.
