3 days trip from Marrakech to Merzouga

Our  3 days trip from Marrakech to Merzouga will start from Marrakech.

After breakfast, our driver-guide will arrive to the communities along the route to pick you up. The first halting place along the journey is the renowned town of Ait Ben Haddou.

Ait Ben Haddou is a berber fortified Kasbah where a number of well-known films, including Lawrence Darabie (1962), Bandits (1981), Gladiator (2000), Alexandre (2004), and Kingdom Of Heaven (2005), to mention a few, were shot.

Prior to going to the Hollywood of Africa to see the studio of Ouarzazate and the Kasbah of Taourirte, you will explore the lovely Dades Valley, where you will have a little view of Kasbahs, before arriving at our hotel.

After breakfast, we will depart the Dades valley and continue our journey to the Sahara desert. We will enjoy a panoramic view of the greatest valley of palm palms in Morocco as we drive through the steep, picturesque canyons along our route.

During the middle of the day, we will stop at one of the local eateries for lunch. Merzouga's huge Sahara desert is reached along a path lined with palms. In Merzouga, we will spend the night in the desert and prepare for a camel ride to Berber tents hidden among the dunes and offering a breathtaking vista.

Then, upon arrival at the camp, you will take a shower in the Berber tent where you will spend the night. so that you may stroll barefoot on the smooth sand and independently explore the area. Dinner will be a wonderful Berber dish freshly made.

We'll end the night by performing Berber music on drums and dancing beneath the sky (dinner and breakfast). The next day will be quite busy, so you will need to relax.

You will wake early to see the most spectacular dawn, snap photographs, and have breakfast. Then return to the hotel to start your third day or scenery shifting day.

This day will allow you to appreciate the transition from the huge Saharan desert to the valley, woods, and snow-capped Atlas Mountains. First, you will go through the Ziz valley, the longest velly in Morocco, before stopping to admire the breathtaking panorama at Ait sheker.

Then, we shall cross via Tizi Ntlghamt. Beautiful vistas of the lush mountains and nomads may be observed from the roadsides. The next stop will be at Midlet city, the capital of apple, where we have lunch. After lunch, we will proceed into the vast Cedar jungle.

We will stop to see and photograph monkeys! Then we shall travel to Ifran, Switzerland, of Africa. Ifrane is a little village nestled in the Atlas Mountains on its huge woodlands.

We will take a break and stop at the statue of the lion to learn its history. Then we reach our ultimate destination, the imperial city of Fes, where our three-day journey from Marrakech to Fes over the Sahara desert concludes.
