Your adventure begins after breakfast in Marrakech. We drive through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where you’ll enjoy beautiful views of valleys, Berber villages, and mountain peaks. The first stop is at Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco’s most famous kasbah, known for its appearance in many movies. After exploring this ancient place, we continue to Ouarzazate, also called the “Hollywood of Africa.” We visit the film studios and Taourirt Kasbah, then drive through Skoura Oasis and the Valley of Roses before reaching Dades Valley. You will spend the night in a local riad with dinner included.
After breakfast, we continue our trip through the Dades Valley. The scenery is full of strange rock formations and old villages. Then we arrive at Todra Gorge, a beautiful canyon with high red cliffs — a great spot for walking and photos. In the afternoon, we drive toward Erfoud and Rissani, passing desert towns and palm groves. Finally, we reach Merzouga, where camels are waiting for you. Enjoy a camel ride across the golden dunes while the sun sets. At night, you’ll sleep in a desert camp, enjoy traditional Berber music around the fire, and watch the stars shining bright in the Sahara sky.
Wake up early to see the sunrise over the dunes — a magical moment. After breakfast, we ride camels back to Merzouga village. Then we drive through the Ziz Valley, known for its green palm trees and ancient kasbahs. Lunch will be in Errachidia or Midelt, a small town in the mountains. You’ll enjoy the cool air and the calm atmosphere. Dinner and overnight stay in Midelt.
After breakfast, the road takes us through the Middle Atlas Mountains. We stop in Azrou, a beautiful cedar forest where you can see wild monkeys playing. Then we continue to Ifrane, a clean and modern city often called the “Switzerland of Morocco.” Take a short walk and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before heading to Fes. Once we arrive, you’ll check into your riad and relax for the evening.
After breakfast, enjoy a short guided walk in Fes if time allows. You can see the old medina, tanneries, and narrow streets full of local life. Your 5 days Morocco desert tour from Marrakech to Fes ends here, with great memories of your Sahara adventure and Moroccan culture.

We had a great time with our guide Hassan and driver Mohamed. They made sure we enjoyed every stop. The views in Dades Valley and Todra Gorge were stunning. Sleeping in the desert was the best part — quiet, peaceful, and so beautiful.

This 5 days Morocco desert tour was incredible! Our driver Hamid was so friendly and explained everything about Berber culture. The night in the desert camp was magical — we danced around the fire and watched the stars. I will never forget this trip!
