This adventurous journey will take you through the picturesque landscape of the High Atlas Mountains and the Ziz Valley, with stops in Ifrane and the cedar forest of Azrou. Experience the thrill of a camel trek and admire the sunset and sunrise over the spectacular dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Your 2 Days Tour from Fes to Marrakech begins with pick-up from your riad in Fes. The journey continues towards the Sahara Desert of Merzouga. The first stop will be the town of Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco for its cooler climate. We will then continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping at the cedar forest to see the Barbary macaques.
Lunch will be at a restaurant along the way. Afterwards, we will head along the Ziz Valley, a palm-filled oasis. We will stop at a scenic viewpoint to admire the beauty of this oasis.
We will arrive in the desert in the afternoon, where camels await to take you across the dunes to your luxury camp. You’ll also watch the sunset from a high dune. Once you arrive at the camp, staff will show you to your private tent, where you can relax and take a shower. After a delicious dinner, the team will light a campfire. Sit back and enjoy the view as the Berbers play music and sing around the fire.
On the second day, we recommend waking up early to admire the desert sunrise. After a tasty breakfast, you’ll leave the camp aboard a 4×4 vehicle for the journey to Marrakech, making a few stops along the way.
The first stop will be Ait Ben Haddou, where you can see a panoramic view of the most famous kasbah in Morocco. This ancient fortified city has been used as a filming location for many films and TV series, such as “The Mummy”, “Prince of Persia” and “Game of Thrones”. Since 1987, UNESCO has protected this village as a World Heritage Site.
After taking some photos of this historic site, you’ll cross the High Atlas Mountains to reach Marrakech. Along the way, you’ll stop to admire further scenic views. Your 2-day tour from Fes to Marrakech will conclude with a transfer to your hotel/riad in Marrakech.
