Why the Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour Is So Popular
This desert tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience Morocco in depth. It includes different climates, cultures, and landscapes, making it one of the most balanced and enriching itineraries in the country.
✔ A Journey Through Morocco’s Most Impressive Landscapes
Leaving Marrakech, the road quickly rises into the High Atlas Mountains, offering panoramic views and winding passes such as the famous Tizi n’Tichka. This route allows you to see small Berber villages nestled against the mountains, far from the noise of the big cities.
As you continue east, the scenery becomes more dramatic: cliffs, canyons, palm valleys, and stretches of desert that change colors depending on the sun.
✔ Visit Iconic Historical Sites
One of the highlights is the visit to Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage ksar famous for its mud-brick architecture. Many travelers consider this stop one of the most photogenic places in Morocco.
You’ll also explore Ouarzazate — known as the “Hollywood of Africa” — and the Dades and Todra Gorges, where towering cliffs create incredible natural corridors.
✔ The Magical Sahara Experience in Merzouga
Reaching the desert is the moment everyone waits for. The golden dunes of Merzouga rise like waves and stretch endlessly across the horizon. Here, you’ll enjoy:
- A camel trek into the heart of the dunes
- A breathtaking sunset over the Sahara
- Traditional music around the campfire
- A night in an authentic desert camp, under one of the clearest skies in the world
In the morning, the sunrise paints the dunes in shades of gold and pink — a moment that stays in memory forever.
