Your 4-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour begins with a morning departure from your accommodation in Marrakech. Drive through the High Atlas Mountains to Ait Ben Haddou. You will get to see traditional Berber villages, enjoy the exquisite views of the Atlas Mountains, and stop in some panoramas for pictures.

Arrive at Ait Ben Haddou village. Here, you will visit the antique Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which has been protected by UNESCO since 1987. Many famous movies shot in Morocco used the Kasbah as a location, including Gladiator, Prince of Persia, and also used for some parts of the TV series Game of Thrones and O Clone.

After having lunch here, drive towards the Dades Gorges, passing through Ouarzazate and the Valley of Roses. Once you arrive at Dades Gorges, you can visit the rock formations called “monkey toes” before heading to your accommodation.

Driving distance: Approximately 353 km

Driving time: Approximately 6 hr 30 min

After a delicious breakfast, you will drive along the Todra River (full of palm groves and Berber villages) to the Todra Gorge in Tinghir, one of the most spectacular canyons in the world! Then, travel to the Merzouga desert.

Before arriving at Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, our driver/guide will suggest visiting a traditional Berber shop, where you will get to take some pictures wearing a Berber outfit for free. Then, you can buy something if you wish (scarves are highly recommended for the desert). Note that it is not obligatory to buy anything. The first goal of the shop is to promote the Berber culture. You can let your driver/guide know if you are not interested in the Berber shop so you can skip it.

When you arrive in Merzouga, you will have the opportunity to go on a camel ride into the desert to watch the sunset over the dunes and try sandboarding. You will then spend the night in a luxury desert camp, where you will enjoy a delicious dinner and experience the magic of the Sahara at night.

Driving distance: Approximately 310 Km

Driving time: Approximately 5 hr

An early wake-up today is highly recommended to watch a glorious sunrise from the nearest dune. After a delicious breakfast in the camp, you will start your exploration of the Merzouga desert. Our 4×4 SUV will enable you to reach the Berber Nomads behind the dunes, where you will get to know the Berber lifestyle and how they have survived in the middle of nowhere! And many more about their rich culture. You will also visit a small hidden deserted village called Mefis, listen to Gnawa music in the village of Khamlia, and visit the Lake of Birds if it is full.

Following lunch, we will proceed to your Riad, where you may check-in and enjoy some leisure time. During this time, you may choose to swim or take a stroll to the nearby dunes. Later in the evening, dinner will be served, after which you will spend the night at your Riad. It is worth noting that you have the option to spend the night at the desert camp again if you desire.

Driving distance: Approximately 57 Km

Know before you go

  • When making your reservation, please remember to communicate any dietary restrictions you might have, like being a vegetarian or vegan. Be confident that we will go the extra mile to accommodate your meal preferences adequately. 
  • Throughout the expedition, your guide will suggest having lunch at restaurants that provide fresh. Nonetheless, if you have a specific restaurant in mind, do not hesitate to communicate this to your guide – they will be happy to accompany you there. 
  • If you want to add more excitement to your trip, we have some extra fun things you can do. Try quad biking or buggy driving in the fantastic Erg Chebbi Dunes. If you are curious about these activities and want to do them, just let your guide know. They will help set everything up so you can have an excellent and enjoyable time. 
  • Although your initial plan includes considerable driving on the first and last day, you can make your desert experience even better by opting for the 5 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga. This option adds an extra night in Dades Gorges at the beginning and another night in Ouarzazate towards the end. This itinerary cleverly divides the long trip from Marrakech to Merzouga, giving you more exploration opportunities. 
  • If you have four days available for the desert tour, consider either the 4 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga or the 4 days desert tour from Marrakech. 
  • Suppose you have a tight schedule with only three days for the desert tour and prefer to skip the extended drive on the initial day. In that case, the other choice is the 3 days desert tour from Marrakech. However, it is essential to note that this alternative includes spending just a single night in the desert. 
  • Should the 3 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga not fit within your tight schedule, consider the 2 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga as an alternative.

Extra activities

Besides booking your 3 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, you can enrich your journey with additional activities and tours that can be incorporated before, during, or after your desert tour. If any of these activities match your interests, kindly inform us during the booking process, and we will be more than happy to help you arrange your choices.
