About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on a private 3-day adventure from Marrakech to Fez, featuring breathtaking landscapes, a camel trek across the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, and immersive cultural experiences in Morocco's stunning desert and mountain regions. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, where you will traverse the High Atlas Mountains, admiring panoramic views and quaint villages. The first stop is at Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Kasbah renowned for its roles in films like Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia. Continuing to Ouarzazate, you will explore this charming town and visit Atlas Studios, the largest film studio in Africa. The day's adventure concludes as you pass through the Valley of Roses and arrive at the Dades Gorge for a sunset view and an overnight stay in a traditional hotel.

The second day starts with a morning walk in the Todra Gorges, where you will be surrounded by impressive rock walls. Next, the tour heads to Rissani, home to the largest market in the area and several local Kasbahs. The highlight of the day is a camel trek into the Merzouga & Erg Chebbi Dunes at sunset, followed by dinner and a night in a Berber tent under the stars. On the final day, you will catch the sunrise over the Erg Chebbi Dunes before riding back to the hotel. A scenic drive through the Ziz Valley offers opportunities for panoramic photos, followed by a lunch stop in Midelt, known for its fossils and apples. The tour concludes as you arrive in Fes in the late afternoon, with drop-off at your accommodation.
