Marrakech To Fes Desert Tour 4 Days Itinerary

Day 1Marrakech – Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Gorges (258 Km)

Start your 4 Day Morocco Desert Tour From Marrakech by meeting your driver at your hotel or riad at 8:00 am, then travel south across the stunning High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, the highest road pass in Morocco at 2,260 meters, enjoying breathtaking views of valleys, mountains, and traditional Berber villages along the way. Near Ouarzazate, stop to visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, a beautifully preserved kasbah featured in famous films such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, and Game of Thrones, before continuing through Mgouna and Skoura to reach the scenic Dades Valley, where you will spend the night.

Day 2Boumalne Dades – Todra Gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga Sahara (270 km)

After breakfast, enjoy the stunning scenery of the Dades Gorges before continuing to the dramatic Todra Gorges, where the Todra River has carved an impressive red-rock canyon through the mountains, with free time to explore and have lunch at your own pace. In the afternoon, arrive at the Merzouga Sahara Desert and switch to camels for a trek across the golden dunes, stopping atop a high dune to watch a magical sunset before heading to your luxury desert camp, where you’ll enjoy traditional Berber drum music, dance around the campfire, admire the star-filled sky, and savor dinner with an overnight stay in the camp.

Travel off-road to visit an old eyeliner mine, meet nomadic families in their handmade woven tents while enjoying Berber tea, and continue to Khamlia village to experience the hypnotic Gnaoua music and dance. After lunch at a local restaurant, take a peaceful walk through a palm grove and visit Merzouga’s wild lake, also known as Flamingo Lake if it is full. Dinner is included, and you may choose to spend the night at a hotel near the dunes or return to the desert camp again for a full Sahara experience.

Continue to Erfoud, famous for its fossilized marble, and visit a local workshop, then travel along the scenic Ziz River with a stop for panoramic views of the lush valley. After a lunch break in Midelt, head toward the cedar forests, home to playful Barbary macaques that you can feed while wandering through the trees. Next, visit Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style houses and cool climate, before arriving in Fez, where your tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation or the airport.
