3 days duration

DAY 1: MARRAKECH- DADES (7 HOURS DRIVE)

In this exciting and thrilling tour around the eastern half of Morocco you will travel in style in a modern air-conditioned minibus. Our guide will pick you up from your Marrakech hotel at 7.15 a.m. and escort you to the departure point. We will travel over the Atlas Mountain range and descend into the Kasbah at Ait Ben Haddou.

The Kasbah (there are actually six of them within a walled city) is a place of wonder. Lunch on the first day will be taken in the Kasbah at Ait Ben Haddou after the guided tour has finished.

Our next stop on our first day will be at Ouarzazate. We will admire the scenery of a city where several blockbuster movies have been filmed.

In the desert’s gate city we can take stop at a café before venturing on to the Dades Valley. Once here you can relax and unwind at a private guesthouse in Dades with en-suite bathroom and enjoy the culinary delights of a Moroccan evening dinner.  Day Excursion Marrakech

DAY 2: DADES- MERZOUGA (4 HOURS DRIVE)

We will have an early breakfast in the hotel and leave for the Todra Gorge. The Todra Gorge is simply jaw-dropping and has a stunning scenery that makes you question why this has not been listed as a wonder of the world. After lunch on the second day we will travel on to Merzouga.

The Overnight Stay in a Desert Camp

Merzouga really is a place in the heart of the desert where  we will get onto our camels and traverse the Dunes of Erg Chebbi and finish off at the Berber desert camp to rest up for the night. At the desert camp you’ll enjoy an evening meal and breakfast in the morning before completing our final day’s journey back to Marrakesh.  Day Excursion Marrakech

DAY 3: MERZOUGA- FES (7 HOURS DRIVE)

Our camels will transport us back to Merzouga, where we will then drive to one of the world’s cleanest and most fascinating cities. Ifrane is known in Morocco as a “Little Switzerland” as it lies high up in the Atlas Mountains and it is known to snow here during the winter season.

It is possible for you to find somewhere to enjoy lunch in Ifrane, or it might be easier (depending on the schedule) to stop over in the Ziz Valley. This beautiful inland Moroccan route is filled with photographic opportunities and stunning landscape scenery.

Our modern air-conditioned minibus (minivan for shared tours) will take us through the beautiful Ziz Valley. Here you will see a number of dramatic gorges, reddish gold dunes and a number of astonishing oases within the Tafilalt. Here you will see the thick, lush canopy of palm trees blooming out from the sides and bottoms of cliff faces, truly spectacular sights of the rose-tinted golden sandstone buildings and the deep gorges that meander throughout this picturesque valley.

Our journey and fascinating adventure culminates with the road to Fes and the drop off here that see you arrive at this vibrant city around 5.00 or 6.00 p.m. Here you shall be dropped off at your hotel or Fes riad.  Day Excursion Marrakech
