3 days trip from Marrakech to Sahara desert and Fes

 After breakfast at the riad, we will  leave Marrakech and drive through the high atlas mountains to visit Ouarzazate — the Hollywood of Morocco — where you can visit a film studio. From there we carry on to Ait Benhadou Kasbah, the highlight of the day. The Kasbah is now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for being the location of film sets likeGladiator, Lawrence of Arabia and many more. You can climb through the village to the top of the hill where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views. From there we will continue our drive through the road of thousand and one Kasbah to enjoy the Roses valley and end the day in Dades valley to stay overnight with dinner and breakfast.
 

After breakfast in the hotel, we will travel through the Dades Valley to get into the High Atlas, where we observe the change of life of the Berbers of the mountains to the desert nomads. Later we will reach the Todra Gorge, a magnificent canyon in the High Atlas Mountains, the highlight of the second day.  There will be time for a walk on the canyon floor with the spectacular cliffs surrounding you on either side. 

We continue our drive towards the desert through the town of Erfoud towards one of the highlights of your trip — the camel trek into the beautiful Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun begins to set at the horizon, you ride the camel through the desert towards the camp where you will spend a magical evening in a bivouac camp. As you settle into the camp and relax under a million stars, we prepare a fresh and delicious Berber dinner. After dinner, you can climb to the top of the dunes, gaze up at the stars and may even go sand boarding. The desert is pure freedom. In the evening, you can choose to sleep in a traditional Nomad camel hair tent or outside under the stars.

In the morning, you will have the opportunity to take some amazing pictures as the sun rises over the dunes. It is a unique and unforgettable event. 

We will leave the Desert and drive through the Ziz valley or the Ziz River, which  rises in the eastern High Atlas Mountains and flows for 280 km, carving its way through the mountain rocks, creating impressive landscapes with exceptional power, heightened during floods. The Ziz River flows east, then around Rich, turning south, crossing the immense palm grove of Tafilalet.

Our journey to Fes  will take us through the scenic slopes of the Middle Atlas Mountain Range.First, we take in the beauty of the cedar forests in the Middle Atlas and enter the world of the Berber people, as we pass many of the mountain villages. We will also pass by Ifrane, a charming ski resort; and Azrou, an important handicraft center specializing in cedar woodwork. We end the day at your Riad in the old Medina in Fes.
