Tour overview

Why wouldn't add a 3 days tour from Fes to Marrakech to your Moroccan vacation to round out your cultural experience? The highlight of this desert adventure is a visit to Erg Chebbi, Morocco's most well-known Sahara Desert dunes. However, the entire journey provides a fantastic opportunity to see this incredibly diverse and gorgeous region of Berber Morocco. First and foremost, you cross the magnificent Middle Atlas and stop to see Barbary monkeys in the cedar trees. You'll stop for lunch in Midelt, the apple capital, and in the fall, you'll have the opportunity to buy fresh fruit from young lads by the side of the road. Thousands of date trees in the Ziz Valley provide fruit for Morocco, which celebrates the date festival in November. The region's fossil discoveries provide evidence to an amazing geological history in Erfoud.

These are located in the Toudgha Gorges and the Dades Valley, which are home to several Kasbahs and Berber settlements. Wonderful cosmetic items are available in the Rose Valley of Damascene roses, which make fantastic gifts back home. The Skoura Oasis, with its many palm palms, and the intriguing Kasbah Amredhil are representative of Berber life in the countryside. Visits to Morocco's two most famous kasbahs, Ait ben Haddou and Telouet, provide more insight into Berber mountain life and traditional architecture. Both are located in the High Atlas Mountains, with Tizi-n-Tichka, North Africa's highest pass, as its highest point. Our 3 tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert ending in Marrakech takes you from Fes to Ouarzazate and Marrakech and is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

My daughter and I flew to Morocco with Around Morocco Travel in the middle of September. After crossing the Atlas Mountains, our adventure began in Marrakesh and concluded in the desert. It was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!!! Hamid served as our guide and driver in a 4x4 truck. Everything is highly customized, and Hamid, a true Berber, was able to communicate his passion for the desert as well as many of the traits of Moroccans, who are incredibly kind and loving people, to us in a very short period of time. We'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

January 2019

We've just returned from a 3 days journey that began in Fes and ended in Marrakech, passing through Chefchaouen, Meknes, and the High Atlas with a night in the desert. What can I say...everything was perfect, from Erika's tour organization to our tour guide (a particular thanks to Ibrahim), with the exception of the little time we had available. But we'll figure it out soon enough since we'll be back, just with a little more time.
