The schedule for this 5 Days desert tour from Marrakech is detailed below.
Our 5-day Morocco tour from Marrakech to Tangier Desert begins with a pickup in Marrakech by our driver/guide, either at the airport or a designated location in the city. We’ll embark on a journey that takes us through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass at an altitude of around 2,200 meters. The landscape features snow-capped peaks from autumn to spring. On the other side of the mountains, our first significant stop is the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This fortified adobe structure is one of the best-preserved examples of Berber defensive architecture from centuries past and is famous for its use as a filming location in the third season of Game of Thrones.
Continuing from Ouarzazate, known as the ‘Hollywood of Morocco,’ and the picturesque kasbah of Taourirt, we’ll enter the ‘road of a thousand kasbahs,’ passing through two beautiful valleys: the Rose Valley and the Dades Valley. We’ll spend our first night in a charming riad located in the Dades Valley, where dinner will be served.
After breakfast at the riad, we hit the road, and you can expect an adventurous drive through the Todra Gorges, a remarkable natural wonder created by riverbed erosion, featuring towering walls and canyons through which our road winds. We’ll also explore the palm groves of Tinjdad and Touroug on foot after a brief visit to the charming village of Tinerhir.
Continuing our 5-day Morocco tour from Marrakech to Tangier, we’ll reach Erfoud, renowned for its rare fossils and marble factories. As the day comes to a close, we reach the much-anticipated destination for many travelers – the mesmerizing Moroccan Sahara, specifically the desert of Merzouga and the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here, we’ll switch from our 4×4 vehicles to noble dromedaries (camels), which will lead us through the golden sands to our tented camp.
As the sun sets over the desert, you’ll be treated to a captivating dinner under the starry desert sky. Afterward, you can unwind and rest in comfortable traditional Berber tents, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
The third day of this tour of Morocco in 5 days begins with another unique experience, at the height of those of the previous day: watching the sunrise over the sea of dunes of Erg Chebbi. Its whimsical formations of fine sand will acquire their particular golden color, while the sky gradually says goodbye to the stars until the next night. After this spectacle, we will have breakfast in the tents camp and return to Merzouga, where our vehicle awaits us to continue the route. During the morning there will also be time for a refreshing shower (at the camp or in a hotel, depending on the package contracted).
The first stop on this day’s tour is Rissani, a small town with one of the most beautiful medinas in the south of the country. In addition, here there are still scenes that seem to be taken out of history books, such as its usual donkey parking.
The tour from Marrakech to Tangier will continue through the Ziz Valley, which we will take in a northerly direction going up its course. This will take us to the Middle Atlas, where we will discover landscapes of surprising beauty. This is the case of Ifrane, the ‘Moroccan Switzerland’ for its gabled buildings, and especially the National Park of the Cedars, where this tree is the real protagonist … with permission of the many Barbary monkeys that live in it.
Between Berber villages, where we will stop to take pictures, we will reach the goal of this day: Fes. Here, a charming riad in the heart of the city awaits you, where you will have dinner and spend the night resting for the next day.
On this 5-day desert tour from Marrakech, we dedicate an entire day to culture, blending intellectual and popular experiences. After breakfast at the riad, one of our certified guides will unveil the secrets and treasures of Fes. This imperial city, renowned as one of the most beautiful in the country, harbors a stunning medina that has been a cultural epicenter of Islam for centuries. Your guided tour will unveil remarkable monuments such as the Karaouine Mosque, the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, the Nejjarine Fountain, and the Medersa of Bou Anania. You’ll also immerse yourself in the charm of more local places, like the renowned tanners’ quarter.
The tour of Fes spans the entire morning, and after lunch, we embark on an excursion to one of North Africa’s most enchanting villages: Chefchaouen, commonly referred to as Chaouen. With its iconic whitewashed walls adorned in shades of blue, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a place unlike any other. We’ll also visit panoramic viewpoints to admire the town’s unique location nestled amidst mountains and the whimsical layout of its steep streets. Your visit to Chaouen will be relaxed and unhurried, as this is where you’ll be staying overnight. Enjoy dinner and a peaceful night’s rest in this captivating village.
The last day of our 5-day of Morocco from Marrakech to Tangier Desert tour begins after breakfast at the riad of Chaouen, when we will arrive in Tangier. If time allows, we will stop in Tetouan, which has been designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
