Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Azrou – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Erfoud – Merzouga

You will start your adventure at Fes, where your guide will pick you up from your hotel or riad, and you’re all set to start off with this Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour 4 days tour. The highway takes you to the Middle Atlas mountains, where the air is clean, and the scenery is full of pines. The first place of interest is Ifrane, also known as Little Switzerland, with neat streets, traditional European designs, and calmness that makes it the ideal place to take a brief walk and take photographs.

Then away to Azrou, where the Barbary apes are very hospitable, and the cedar woods are quiet. These mischievous monkeys watch them in their wild state as you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the great trees. The road progresses to Midelt and the picturesque valley of Ziz, where the landscape changes slowly, and the green valleys are replaced by the red rocky mountains, winding gorges, and deserts.

By the time the sun sets, you reach Merzouga, which is the entry point to the Sahara Desert. In this case, the sand dunes are very long, and they are golden in the evening light. And your initial evening in the desert will be magic: you will be staying in a classic desert camp, surrounded by a sky full of stars, where you will be able to allow the quietness and immenseness of the Sahara sweep over you.

Day 2: Merzouga -Khamlia-Oasis- Desert Exploration- Camel Ride & Camp

The second day makes you sink into the marvels of the Sahara. Start with the trip to a small village of Khamlia, which is famous for its soul-captivating Gnawa music. Get the beat and have the local culture flow over your head; it will give you a sense of how life will be in the desert.

Then wander out into the local oases, where patches of green beauty are formed amid the sand by clumps of date palms and the miniature pools of water. Then there is the best part of the day, a camel ride across the grand Erg Chebbi dunes, and the sun sets on the horizon. It is incredible how the colours of the desert change all the time, changing to gold and then to orange and deep purple, and it is a sight that cannot be forgotten.

Reach your classic desert camp at sunset. The warmth of the dinner is to be enjoyed under the stars, along with the soft sounds of Berber music. Be on soft carpets, enjoy the Saharan air, and the magical Sahara will embrace you. Such experiences are what make the experience of a desert tour fes to marrakech leave an indelible mark on your memory.

Day 3: Merzouga – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley – Roses Valley – Skoura

From there, the journey continues to the Dades Valley, known for its winding roads, red rock formations, and wide open views. Each turn shows a different scene, small villages, green fields, and rugged hills that feel calm and untouched.

Later, you pass through the Roses Valley, famous for its rose farms, fertile land, and peaceful countryside. The soft colors and fresh smell of nature make this part of the drive relaxing and pleasant.

By late afternoon, you arrive in Skoura, a quiet oasis filled with palm trees and ancient kasbahs. It’s a gentle place to rest after a long day, where life moves slowly and the evening feels calm.
