⇒ Day 1: Fes – Azrou – Midelt – Merzouga.

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel or riad as you make your way toward the enchanting Sahara dunes of Erg Chebbi. Travel via the Middle Atlas, stopping in Ifrane—dubbed “Morocco’s Switzerland”—for its alpine charm and snowy winters. Continue through Azrou’s cedar forest, home to playful monkeys, and pause in Midelt for lunch. In the afternoon, traverse the scenic Ziz Valley and the fossil capital of Erfoud before reaching Merzouga. As the sun dips below the horizon, embark on a camel trek across the dunes and settle in for the night in a Berber-style camp beneath the stars.

⇒ Day 2: Merzouga – Todra Gorges – Ouarzazate.

Rise early to enjoy the serene desert sunrise before riding camels back to the hotel for breakfast and a quick refresh. Depart the Sahara, heading toward Rissani and Tafilalet, both important historical regions linked to Morocco’s ruling dynasty. Continue to the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges, where you’ll have time for lunch and a short stroll. Travel through the Dades Valley and the fragrant Rose Valley, following the iconic Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, and arrive in Ouarzazate for an overnight stay in a traditional riad or hotel.

⇒ Day 3: Ouarzazate – High Atlas – Marrakech.

After breakfast, begin the final stretch of your journey by visiting the historic Kasbah of Taourirt and the world-famous film studios of Ouarzazate. Continue toward the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou village, renowned for its ancient mud-brick architecture and cinematic legacy. After soaking in panoramic views and exploring its narrow alleys, drive through the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass. Arrive in Marrakech in the early evening, marking the end of your desert experience.
