Itinerary

On the first day of your tour from Marrakech, you will head towards Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, situated in the High Atlas Mountains. This historical kasbah earned the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 due to its remarkable architecture and cultural significance. Following lunch near the kasbah and exploring the Berber villages scattered throughout Dades Valley, your journey will proceed to Dades Gorges, where you will have dinner and spend the night.

After having breakfast, you will head towards Tinghir on your way to the Merzouga Desert. Along the journey, we will make stops, including at Todra Gorges for lunch and, if you are interested, explore Erfoud, renowned for its fossils! Eventually, you will reach the Merzouga Desert, where you can partake in an unforgettable camel ride across the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to witness a breathtaking sunset before settling into nomadic tents for a campfire dinner under the starry skies.

The last day of your excursion starts with breakfast before embarking on your return journey to Merzouga by camelback. You will pass through Rissani and Erfoud towards Errachidia before continuing to the Ziz Valley, heading up until Midelt where you can savor a delightful lunch amid the captivating cedar forest scenery. Afterward, take your time driving through Ifrane National Park and the Middle Atlas Mountains until you reach Fes.

FAQ

Generally seen as a secure destination and the terrorist attacks are thankfully rare in Morocco compared to France, Belgium, and the UK. As a traveler, you are unlikely to be assaulted or seriously hurt because there is a low level of crime, and the Moroccan government has raised infrastructure investment and security measures to attract more visitors and provide more security.

There is really no time of year when you wouldn’t enjoy your trip to Morocco; although you should keep in mind that it tends to get a little too crowded with tourists during the winter holidays season. Then it’s up to you to decide what season suits you the best to come to visit, according to your schedule and preferences.
