Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Desert

Your journey begins in Fes, one of Morocco’s oldest imperial cities. After breakfast, we head to the Middle Atlas. Our first stop is Ifrane, known as “the Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style architecture.

Next, we pass through the Cedar Forests of Azrou. Here, you can spot wild Barbary macaques. We then drive through Midelt, a town famous for its apple orchards.

Crossing the Ziz Valley, we see endless palm groves. Finally, we reach Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Switch to camels for a trek into Erg Chebbi’s dunes. Witness a magical sunset over golden sands.

Spend the night in a traditional Berber camp. Enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner, music under the stars, and a peaceful night in a desert tent.

Day 2: Merzouga – Rissani – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley

Wake up early to witness an unforgettable sunrise over the Sahara Desert before riding camels back to Merzouga. After breakfast, we head to Rissani, a historic town known for its traditional markets and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif, the founder of the Alaouite dynasty.

Our next stop is the Todra Gorges, a breathtaking canyon with towering rock walls reaching up to 300 meters. This is a paradise for rock climbers and nature lovers alike. After exploring the gorge, we continue our journey to the Dades Valley, famous for its dramatic rock formations known as the Monkey Fingers. Here, you will enjoy a relaxing evening in a beautiful riad, where you can savor traditional Moroccan cuisine and unwind.

Day 3: Dades Valley – Rose Valley – Skoura – Ouarzazate

After breakfast, we drive through the scenic Dades Valley, passing charming Berber villages and the Rose Valley, known for its fragrant rose gardens. Each spring, the valley hosts the Rose Festival, where locals celebrate the harvest with music, dance, and the production of rosewater and perfumes.

Our journey continues to Skoura, home to lush palm groves and ancient kasbahs, including the famous Kasbah Amridil, a well-preserved fortress that offers a glimpse into traditional Moroccan architecture. We then reach Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco” due to its film studios where famous movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed. Here, we visit the impressive Taourirt Kasbah and spend the night in a comfortable riad.

Day 4: Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – High Atlas Mountains – Marrakech

On the final day of our journey, we visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, a striking fortified village (ksar) that has been the backdrop for many Hollywood films. The mud-brick architecture and panoramic views make this one of Morocco’s most iconic landmarks.

Next, we traverse the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 meters). The winding roads offer breathtaking vistas, and we make stops at local cooperatives where you can learn about traditional Argan oil production.
