Tour Plan:

Day 1: Marrakech » Ait Ben Haddou » Ouarzazate » Dades Valley [321 km]

Your best 4 days tour from Marrakech to Fes via desert. Your adventure commences as your knowledgeable driver/guide collects you from your Marrakech lodgings. You will be transported across the magnificent Atlas Mountains via the Tizi N’tichka pass, which stands at 2260 meters above sea level. A highlight of this tour is a visit to the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and an iconic Moroccan historical edifice.

Lunchtime presents an opportunity to savor local cuisine at a charming restaurant. In the afternoon, continue to Ouarzazate and pause near the Atlas film studios for a photo stop. Then, explore the city center, where you will be treated to a picturesque view of the Taourirt Kasbah, a storied fortified dwelling.

Next, your journey leads you to Kalaa M’gouna and Boumalne Dades for an overnight stay at a hotel, where a delectable dinner awaits. This is just the beginning of your captivating desert exploration.

Day 2: Dades Gorges » Todra Gorges » Merzouga Desert [249 km]

After a satisfying breakfast at your hotel, the day’s adventure unfolds as you head towards Tinghir. On route, you will pass through Boumalne de Dades, offering a perfect opportunity to capture the panoramic beauty of Dades Valley.

Continuing your journey, you will proceed to Todra Gorges via Imider and Tinghir, with several scenic stops and photo opportunities along the way. Upon reaching Todra Gorges, prepare to be awestruck by its dramatic canyon landscapes, where you can explore the narrow valleys on foot.

As the day progresses, you will travel to Tinjdad, where a lunch break awaits, and then onwards to Erfoud, renowned for its fossil craftsmanship. From Erfoud, your path leads you to the mesmerizing dunes of Erg Chebbi, also known as Merzouga Dunes.

Upon arriving at the dune edge, you will take a camel trek for approximately an hour and a half, an experience filled with laughter and adventure as you journey into the desert, guided solely by the sound of the camel’s footfalls on the sand.

You will reach the campsite in time to witness a breathtaking desert sunset, a tranquil moment amidst the serene desert landscape. As night falls, enjoy a delicious dinner and entertainment around the campfire, featuring Berber drumming. Your accommodations for the night will be in a well-appointed desert camp, providing all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay beneath the starry desert sky.

Afterward, a camel ride takes you back to your accommodation, where your driver awaits for a 4×4 desert adventure. Explore Hassilabiad, and Khamlia, and meet nomadic desert dwellers while enjoying live Gnawa music. Venture deeper into the desert, visit Lake Dayte Sarje, marvel at black volcanic rocks, and explore the souks of Rissani in the afternoon. Finally, we return you to your Merzouga riad or hotel. Capture these memories with your camera.

Our journey continues with another stop in the city of Midelt, nestled in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. Here, you will have free time for lunch and relaxation. In the afternoon, we pass through the Cedar forest of Azrou, where you might spot some Barbary Apes along the road.

Next, we visit Ifrane, a city situated at 1630 meters above sea level on the northwestern slope of the Middle Atlas. Its wide avenues, impeccable cleanliness, green spaces, gardens, and unique architecture give it the appearance of a Swiss town, earning it the nickname “the Moroccan Switzerland.” Ifrane even boasts a prominent ski resort, Michlifen.

SIN DUDA UN VIAJE INOLVIDABLE Gracias a Hassan hemos podido ver todo lo que teníamos pendiente por ver. Nos ha organizado el viaje totalmente y nos ha explicado todos y cada uno de los paisajes y monumentos que íbamos recorriendo. En nuestro caso que somos españoles hemos podido comunicarnos perfectamente en español con él. Es una gran persona y estamos seguro de que cuando volvamos a Marruecos repetiremos con él. Ha hecho unas vacaciones inolvidables

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.

Inesquecível!! Éramos seis amigas na nossa inesquecível viagem ao Marrocos, e nosso guia/motorista Hassan foi muito atencioso e prestativo, sempre pontual e pronto para atender às nossas solicitações. Excelente motorista, nos sentimos seguras durante toda a viagem. Van confortável e com wi-fi. Recomendo muito os seus serviços. O ponto alto da viagem foi nossa ida ao deserto e pernoite no acampamento. Experiência única e imperdível!

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.

Enjoyable trip The week in Morocco was very interesting and special. We not only enjoyed the local scenery, but also the considerate service. Hassan arranged the accommodation for us with local characteristics, and provided us with small gifts and local delicacies during the trip. All our requirements were well met by him and it was a very memorable and enjoyable trip.
