Itinerary

Day 1:From Imperial Alleys to Alpine Air – Fes to the Middle Atlas

Your journey begins with an early departure from the rich cultural tapestry of Fes, heading south toward the tranquil landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains. Along the way, you’ll pass through the charming town of Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco,” and the cedar forests of Azrou, where wild monkeys roam free. After a lunch stop in Midelt, the drive continues through the dramatic Ziz Valley, a ribbon of palm trees and ancient kasbahs. By evening, the golden dunes of Merzouga rise on the horizon. You’ll settle into a peaceful desert auberge at the edge of the Sahara.

Day 2:Dunes, Drums & Desert Dreams – The Sahara Experience

The morning is yours to discover Merzouga’s unique rhythms—visit the soulful Gnawa musicians in Khamlia or sip tea with nomadic families. As the sun begins its descent, embark on a majestic camel trek through the vast Erg Chebbi dunes. The journey leads to your luxury desert camp, where Berber hospitality awaits. As the stars begin to pierce the desert sky, enjoy a traditional dinner around the fire, with drums echoing in the background and sand beneath your feet—a night like no other.

Day 3:Canyons & Kasbahs – From the Desert to Dades

Wake up to a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, then return to Merzouga for breakfast. The route continues through the historic town of Rissani and the fertile valleys of Tinjdad, arriving at the majestic Todra Gorges—towering canyon walls perfect for a refreshing walk. Your path then winds through the Dades Valley, also known as the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. Here, the road bends through stunning rock formations, ancient mud-brick homes, and blooming rose bushes. Rest for the night in a cozy hotel nestled among the cliffs.

Day 4:Kasbah Trails & Mountain Passes – Into the Heart of Marrakech

On the final leg, journey through the fragrant Rose Valley and the lush palm groves of Skoura. A stop in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara, offers a glimpse into Morocco’s cinematic heritage. Next, explore the storied walls of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and iconic film location. As you ascend the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the landscape transforms once more—lush valleys giving way to rugged peaks. By sunset, you’ll descend into the red city of Marrakech, your unforgettable desert odyssey complete.
