Day 1
Your 6-day desert tour begins with pickup from your hotel, riad, airport, or preferred meeting point in Marrakech. Leave the city and travel through the High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n'Tichka Pass, one of Morocco’s most scenic mountain roads. Enjoy panoramic stops along the way before reaching Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its earthen architecture and historic kasbahs.

The route then passes through Kalaat M'Gouna, known as the City of Roses, before arriving in the Dades Valley for dinner and overnight stay.

Walk between the towering cliffs and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the oasis before continuing through palm groves, Berber villages and desert towns. After a possible lunch stop in Tinjdad or Touroug, arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. In the late afternoon, ride camels across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun sets. Your luggage will be transferred separately to the camp. Enjoy dinner, Berber music and a magical night under the stars in a luxury desert camp.

Depending on the season and local conditions, you may also visit desert viewpoints or the Merzouga lake area. In the afternoon, return to your accommodation near the dunes for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4
After breakfast, leave the Sahara Desert and begin the journey toward Fes. Travel through the scenic Ziz Valley, famous for its palm groves, rocky cliffs and panoramic viewpoints. Continue across the Middle Atlas Mountains and stop near the Cedar Forest, where Barbary macaques can often be seen in their natural environment. On the way, visit Ifrane, a clean mountain town known for its alpine-style architecture and cool climate. Arrive in Fes in the evening and settle into your hotel or riad.
