Itinerary
After breakfast, your driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Ouarzazate and begin your journey toward the Dades Valley.
Drive through the beautiful Skoura Palm Grove, known for its lush palm trees and traditional kasbahs. Continue through the Valley of Roses, famous for its rose gardens and traditional products made from roses. Enjoy the scenic landscapes and have lunch at a local restaurant along the way.
In the afternoon, continue toward Boumalne Dades and the spectacular Dades Gorges, surrounded by dramatic rock formations and beautiful mountain scenery. Take some time to enjoy the panoramic views and explore the area before continuing to your accommodation.
Overnight in Dades Valley.
After a restful night’s sleep, enjoy a delicious breakfast while breathing in the fresh mountain air of the beautiful Dades Valley.
Begin the day with a visit to the spectacular Dades Gorges, then continue your journey through the town of Boumalne Dades toward Todra Gorge, located near the town of Tinghir. Rising up to 300 meters high, Todra Gorge is one of the world’s most impressive canyons. Nestled on the eastern side of the High Atlas Mountains, its towering limestone cliffs and crystal-clear river make it one of Morocco’s most breathtaking natural attractions.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant along the way before continuing your journey toward the Sahara Desert.
Before arriving in Merzouga, stop at a traditional Berber shop where you can try on authentic desert clothing for memorable photos. Wearing the traditional outfit is completely optional, and photos taken in the clothing are free of charge. Headscarves are also available to wear during your camel trekking experience.
Arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes. Meet your camel caravan and ride across the golden sand dunes as the sun begins to set, creating unforgettable views of the Sahara.
Spend the night in a comfortable desert camp, where you will enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner followed by Berber music, drumming around the campfire, dancing under the stars, and an unforgettable night in the heart of the desert.
Important Note: If you would like to enjoy wine during your stay at the desert camp, please purchase it before arriving in Merzouga, as alcoholic beverages are not available in the desert camp.
After breakfast, begin your final day of the tour with a scenic drive toward Fes.
Travel through the spectacular Ziz Valley, one of Morocco’s largest palm groves, where you will stop at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the oasis. This is a great opportunity to take photos, enjoy a coffee, and use the restroom facilities.
Continue your journey through the Zaabel Tunnel and the town of Midelt, often referred to as the “Apple Capital of Morocco.” Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing north.
In the afternoon, visit the beautiful Cedar Forest near Azrou, home to the famous Barbary macaques. Here, you will have the chance to observe these playful monkeys in their natural habitat.
Before arriving in Fes, make one final stop in Ifrane, known as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its clean streets, alpine-style architecture, and pleasant climate. Visit the city’s iconic Stone Lion, a historic sculpture believed to have been carved by a German prisoner during the French Protectorate.
