Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour – 5 Days

Your Fes to Marrakech desert tour 5 days begins with a scenic departure through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in the cedar forests of Azrou, home to wild Barbary macaques, before continuing through alpine landscapes toward the south.

As the terrain changes, the road descends into the Ziz Valley, famous for endless palm groves and ancient irrigation systems. Overnight in a traditional guesthouse surrounded by desert silence.

Day two takes you deeper into the Sahara region. Passing through fossil-rich Erfoud, you reach Merzouga, where the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise dramatically from the horizon.

In the late afternoon, a camel trek carries you across the dunes as the sun paints the sand in shifting shades of gold. Spend the night in a luxury desert camp, enjoying Berber music, stargazing, and absolute tranquility.

This day is dedicated to discovering life in the desert. Visit nomadic families, explore the volcanic black desert, and learn how people survive in one of the world’s harshest environments.

Unlike rushed tours, this 5-day Fes to Marrakech Sahara tour gives you time to understand the culture behind the landscape. Return to Merzouga for a peaceful overnight stay near the dunes.

Leaving the desert, the route follows the legendary Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Walk through the towering cliffs of Todra Gorge, a natural canyon carved by time and water.

Continue toward the Dades Valley, where dramatic rock formations and winding roads create one of Morocco’s most photogenic regions. Overnight in a charming valley hotel.

The final day of your Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour 5 Days crosses the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a symbol of southern Moroccan architecture and history.

Arrive in Marrakech in the late afternoon, ending an unforgettable journey across Morocco’s most diverse landscapes.
