3 days Tour from Fes to Marrakech via desert
Day 1: Fes to Merzouga
Our journey from the bustling city of Fes to the captivating desert town of Merzouga begins with anticipation and excitement. Departing from the vibrant streets of Fes, we venture southward. Leaving behind the maze-like alleys of the ancient Medina and the echoes of history that linger within its walls.
As we traverse the diverse landscapes of Morocco, the scenery evolves from fertile valleys to arid plains. Offering glimpses of traditional Berber villages and nomadic encampments along the way. The road stretches before us like a ribbon of possibility. Winding through the Middle Atlas Mountains and the rugged beauty of the Ziz Valley.
Arriving in Merzouga, on the edge of the Sahara Desert. We are greeted by the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi, their golden hues shimmering in the sunlight. We will take a camel ride to the camp in the dunes. You will be amazed by the sunset over the Sahara. Dinner around the camp fire. Sleep in Berber tents.
Day 2: Merzouga - Todra Gorges - Dades Gorges
Rising with the dawn, we start on a journey of discovery through some of Morocco's most breathtaking natural wonders. Our first destination is the Todra Gorges, where sheer limestone cliffs tower above us, carved by the passage of time and the flow of the Todra River. We traverse the narrow canyon, marveling at the play of light and shadow on the rugged walls.
Continuing our journey, we make our way to the Dades Gorges, a spectacular series of rock formations sculpted by millennia of erosion. Here, we pause to admire the dramatic landscape, with its towering cliffs and lush oases nestled in the valley below. We explore winding pathways and hidden waterfalls, immersing ourselves in the tranquility of this remote wilderness.
As the day draws to a close, we retreat to our accommodations in the heart of the Dades Valley, where we are treated to warm Berber hospitality and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the landscape, we reflect on the day's adventures and the wonders of nature that have left us spellbound.
Day 3: Dades Valley - Roses Valley - Skoura - Taourirte Kasbah - Cinema Studio - Ait Ben Haddou - Marrakech
Our final day of exploration begins with a journey through the picturesque Roses Valley, where fields of fragrant roses bloom in abundance, filling the air with their sweet perfume. Continuing on, we arrive in Skoura, a verdant oasis dotted with palm groves and ancient kasbahs.
We visit the magnificent Taourirte Kasbah, a sprawling fortress that stands as a testament to Morocco's rich history and architectural heritage. From here, we journey to the nearby Cinema Studio, where countless iconic films have been brought to life amidst the desert landscape.
Our next stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village that seems frozen in time, its earthen walls and labyrinthine streets offering a glimpse into Morocco's medieval past. We wander through the maze of alleyways, admiring the intricate craftsmanship of the mud-brick buildings.
As the day draws to a close, we bid farewell to the desert and make our way to the vibrant city of Marrakech, where our journey comes to an end. As we reflect on the adventures and memories we have shared, we are grateful for the opportunity to experience the diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Morocco.
