5 Days from Marrakech to Fes Tour

Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah – Ouarzazate

We begin our journey by leaving the red city behind. You will spot small Berber villages clinging to the hillside, and we will halt for several lovely pictures. Then we get to the lovely Ait Ben Haddou; it is an ancient city where many people film world-renowned Hollywood movies. It is a must-do on any trip to Morocco.

Later we drive to Ouarzazate — known as the gateway to the desert. Here you can see big movie studios and visit the magnificent Taourirt Kasbah. Finally, since it is your first night on your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech, we stay in a nice hotel. We will have a good dinner and then sleep so that we can have some desert fun tomorrow!

Day 2: Ouarzazate – Skoura – Kelaat M’Gouna – Bou Tharar – Dades Valley

Drive through the colorful Valley of Roses on Day 2 of your 5 Days Tour. You can smell the sweet perfume of flowers in the air, most notably in spring. Then we drive to the Dades Valley to view the unusual rock formations that resemble outstretched monkey fingers. It is included in many of the official Marrakech Desert Tours.

Now we come up to the Todra Gorges, which are incredibly tall and narrow. You can walk along the chilly river and see how small you feel next to the mountains. And because we want you to have the best holidays in Morocco, we stay in a local riad nearby. Rest assured, this stop on your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech is designed to help you relax before we head for the dunes.

Day 3: Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Merzouga desert

It is the most magical day of your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech because we have made it to the Sahara! First, we drive through Erfoud, a little town renowned for its million-year-old fossils. Then the vast orange dunes of Erg Chebbi come into view on the horizon. This is a well-known feature of our Morocco Desert Trips and very special to behold.

When we arrive in Merzouga, you will get onto a camel for a slow ride into the sand. On your Morocco Desert Trip, you will see the sunset covering the desert with gold. In your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech, you sleep in a luxury tent with a proper bed tonight. You will dine by a campfire and listen to traditional drum music under the stars.

Day 4: Merzouga desert exploration

On day four, you should get up very early to see the sunrise. The desert colors shift from purple to bright orange in minutes. After a delicious breakfast at the camp, we ride our camels back to the village. This Morocco Desert Tour continues with us driving through the Ziz Valley.

We cross through many palm trees and then come to the Middle Atlas Mountains. This part of your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech offers changing scenery in a short amount of time, from dry sand to green hills. We have lunch in Midelt and continue to the cedar forest of Azrou. Many monkeys can be seen playing up in the trees, making this a great Morocco family holiday.

Day 5: Merzouga desert – Ziz Valley – Ifrane – Fes

On the last day of your tour, we visit Ifrane town first. It is nicknamed “Little Switzerland” because the houses there have slanted roofs and it often snows. It’s a really nice and clean place to stroll. This beautiful contrast is the reason why Morocco Tours are so much loved.

Finally, we descend from the mountains and arrive at the ancient city of Fes. Your driver will deliver you directly to the door of your hotel or Riad. Even if your 5 Days Tour from Marrakech ends here, you will have unforgettable memories. We wish you all the best for your Morocco Holidays tours with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
