SHARED 3 DAYS TOUR FROM FES TO MARRAKECH ITINERARY
Please read the 3 days Fes to Marrakech shared desert tour program to have an idea of what to expect from the tour.
Our 3 days Fes to Marrakech desert group tour starts in the morning. Leave the city of Fez behind, driving south to the desert. Our first destination will be the city of Ifrane for a quick break, then stop by the road in a cedar forest in the Middle Atlas Mountains to watch some Barbary apes.
Lunch will be in a restaurant somewhere along the way. Before reaching Merzouga, we will be driving along the Ziz Valley, known for its oasis full of palm trees.
Reach the desert in the afternoon. From here, our camels will take us on an authentic camel caravan across the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. On the way, we will stop to watch a golden sunset from a high dune. Then, continue trekking to the camp.
Upon arrival, our camp staff will show you your private tent to relax and maybe take a shower. After a delicious dinner, enjoy sitting around a bonfire under a sky full of stars while our staff plays drums and sings Berber music. We will also teach you how to play drums too.

An early morning today is highly recommended to watch the golden fingers of the sunlight light up the desert scene, a moment of peace. After a tasty breakfast in the camp, we will leave for the town of Merzouga by 4×4 vehicles.
Start our journey to the Dades Gorges. If today is Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday, we will visit a traditional Moroccan souk in Rissani to reveal the Moroccan culture and the traditional local life. After that, we carry on driving. In Tinghir, we will drive along the Todra River until we reach the Todra Canyon. Take a walk under these impressive cliffs that reach up to 300m in height.
