We will start the 3-day desert tour by picking you up from your hotel or Riad and taking you into the Middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop will be in Ifrane, founded by the French in the 1930s, and known as Morocco’s Switzerland because of its Alpine chalet-styled architecture and aspect. Next, you will travel through the cedar forests, where the famous Barbary macaque monkeys are. You will stop to have lunch, before heading to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Then, enjoy an unforgettable camel trek into the breathtaking sunset as you travel through the shifting sands before you arrive at a luxury desert camp to spend the night in a charming tent with a private bathroom, surrounded by the dunes. Chill out and enjoy a delicious dinner while listening to the sweet strains of traditional Berber music.
You will wake up to see a beautiful sunrise over the sand dunes, then you will have breakfast before getting back to meet your guide/driver and leaving the desert toward Dades. You will stop in Erfoud city to visit a fossil monument, as this city is famous for. Then, drive to Toudra Gorges, where the mountains cover the sky, and enjoy its gorgeous Canyon views. Stretch your legs and enjoy the views before continuing to the Dades Valley, where we will spend our night.
After having breakfast at your hotel/Riad, you will drive to Marrakech through the Valley of Roses, where we can have a short break so you can get to know their products. Then, we crossed Ouarzazate (the city of Hollywood), to the dramatic village of Ait Benhaddou. UNESCO lists this amazing village as a World Heritage Site due to its unique architecture consisting of many Kasbahs (fortresses) with four tall towers, small windows, and tiny doors. After lunch, you will drive through the spectacular High Atlas over the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2260 m altitude). We will have several stops to take pictures and enjoy the views. Arrival in Marrakech around 6 pm.
Hicimos una expedición de 3 días / 2 noches desde Fez a Marrakech a través del desierto. Nuestro guía Said fue muy amable e hizo todo lo posible para que nuestra experiencia fuera agradable. Esta fórmula es muy interesante para recorrer distancias tan grandes con mayor comodidad que el autobús. Muy recomendable.
