3-Day Desert Tour From Fes to Marrakech

Day 1: Fes — Ifrane — Midelt — Merzouga

Today kicks off your 3-day desert tour from Fes, driving south from the old medina of Fes to the snowy city of Ifrane. A lot of people refer to this place as the Switzerland of Morocco, mainly because it is clean and has really nice houses. Next, we reach the cedar forest, where, during your Morocco Desert Trip, you will have the opportunity to see and feed the wild monkeys.

After that, you will resume your Fes-Marrakech 3-Day Desert Tour towards the mountains until reaching the high dunes of Merzouga. As a result, you will notice that as the sun continues to dip, there is a beautiful change of colors from green trees to orange sand. This is one of the most beloved parts of our Morocco desert tours, for it feels like you are entering a magical realm overflowing with silence and beauty.

Day 2: Merzouga — Todra Gorges — Dades Valley

Waking up very early to watch the sunrise on the beautiful dunes of sand and have a delicious breakfast in the desert. Next up, we are exiting the Sahara and heading towards the vast Todra Gorges, with walls that reach out like roaring giants. These Moroccan desert trips show you what the power of nature looks like when you go along the cool river between the cliffs.

We then head for the Dades Valley to be amazed by formations colloquially known as “monkey fingers.” During the 3-day desert tour from Fes, you will be impressed by the beauty of the red rocks, set against the green gardens. This day of your 3-day Fes-Marrakech Desert Tour combines pure mountain air and gorgeous scenery, filling your photo album with beautiful shots.

Day 3: Dades Valley — Ait Benhaddou — Marrakech

On the last day of your 3-day desert tour from Fes, we pay a visit to the famous Kasbah Ait Benhaddou—an enormous sand castle where a number of films have been shot. Walking through the ancient gates of this world heritage site, you will feel like a movie star. This is one of the most historically significant sites in the entire South, which is why every Desert Tour Morocco includes this stop.

Lastly, we pass through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains and arrive in the welcoming arms of beautiful Marrakech. This section makes you feel like doing an Atlas Mountains tour as well, since you go high in the air with the clouds and observe countless Berber villages. This is the end of your Fes, Marrakech, 3-day desert tour, and the good memories with the peaks and the valleys will stay in your heart.
