Why take a flight when you can take the trip of a lifetime? Our 3-Day Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour transforms a simple transfer between Morocco’s two most famous Imperial cities into an epic adventure.
Travel in the comfort of a private, air-conditioned vehicle as you cross the High Atlas Mountains, explore the “Grand Canyon of Morocco” (Dades Gorges), and spend a magical night in a luxury desert camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes. We handle all the logistics—from luggage to luxury camping—delivering you directly to your Riad in Fes on the third day, inspired and refreshed.
📍 One-Way Efficiency. The perfect way to see the heart of Morocco without doubling back to Marrakech.

Excluded:
Crossing the High Atlas
We begin your journey with a morning pickup from your Marrakech resort or the airport. We ascend the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). This route offers dramatic views of ancient Berber villages and winding mountain roads that are a photographer’s dream.
The UNESCO Jewel of Ait Ben Haddou
Our first major stop is the legendary Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a masterpiece of clay architecture and historical mystery. Wander through its fortified narrow streets and see why it has been chosen as the backdrop for epic films like Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia.
Ouarzazate & The Atlas Studios
After a traditional lunch in Ouarzazate, we visit the “Hollywood of Africa.” You’ll have the chance to explore the famous Atlas Film Studios, where cinematic history is still being made today.
The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs
We continue our drive through the Valley of Roses and the town of Kelaat M’Gouna, famous for its annual rose festival and fragrant organic products. This “off-the-beaten-path” route allows you to enjoy the serenity of nature away from the city crowds.
Evening in the Dades Valley
We conclude the day in the stunning Dades Valley. You will spend the night in a hand-picked boutique guesthouse or luxury hotel, where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits among the spectacular “Monkey Fingers” rock formations.
The Todra Canyon Walk
After a peaceful breakfast in the Dades Valley, we head toward the spectacular Todra Gorges. You’ll have the opportunity to walk through this massive limestone canyon, where 300-meter-high rock walls tower above you. It is a breathtaking natural wonder and a highlight of the journey.
Tinejdad & The Oasis Route
We continue our drive through the palm-fringed landscapes of the south, stopping in Tinejdad for a traditional lunch. Along the way, you’ll see the ancient Khettara (underground irrigation systems) that have sustained life in the desert for centuries.
Erfoud – The World’s Fossil Capital
Our journey takes us through Erfoud, world-renowned for its unique fossils and marble workshops. You’ll see how 350-million-year-old history is pulled from the earth and crafted into beautiful art—a trade that has made this town famous on an international scale.
The Erg Chebbi Camel Trek
Upon arriving in Merzouga, the gateway to the “Real Sahara,” we leave our vehicle behind. You’ll mount your private camel caravan and trek into the heart of the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun begins to set, the sand changes color from orange to deep purple—a truly mesmerizing sight.
A Night of Nomad Luxury
We arrive at our exclusive Sahara desert retreat tucked away among the dunes. After a traditional Berber feast, the night comes alive with the sound of drums and melodic nomad music. Spend your evening around the campfire under a sky so clear the stars feel close enough to touch.
Continuing with our Modern & Impactful style, here is the rewrite for Day 3. I have corrected the confusing references to “liverally breakfast” and “volcano rock” (Morocco’s Ziz Gorges are sedimentary limestone, not volcanic) to ensure the text is professional and accurate.
Sunrise in the Dunes
Start your final morning with a breathtaking sunrise over the Sahara. After a fresh, traditional breakfast at the camp, you will enjoy a peaceful camel trek back to Merzouga to meet your private vehicle and begin the journey north.
The Ziz Valley & Gorges
Our drive takes us through the spectacular Ziz Valley, home to one of the largest palm oases in the world. We’ll wind through the rugged Ziz Gorges—massive limestone canyons that offer some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in North Africa.
Midelt & The Middle Atlas
We stop for lunch in Midelt, a town famous for its apple orchards and its position between the High and Middle Atlas ranges. You can enjoy a local grill or a traditional tagine with a refreshing glass of Moroccan mint tea to recharge for the afternoon.
The Cedar Forest & Barbary Apes
As we climb into the Middle Atlas, the landscape shifts from desert to lush greenery. We stop in the ancient Cedar Forest near Azrou, where you can meet and photograph the wild Barbary Macaques (monkeys) that live among the towering trees.
Ifrane – “The Little Switzerland”
Before arriving in Fes, we visit Ifrane. Known for its alpine-style architecture, clean parks, and snowy winters, this town feels like a European village tucked away in Morocco. It’s the perfect spot for a final coffee and a photo.
Arrival in Fes
Our journey concludes as we descend into the historic city of Fes. Your private driver will drop you off directly at your Hotel or Riad door, delivering you safely with a lifetime of desert memories.
Your private Moroccan adventure is just a click away.
