3 Days Morocco Desert Adventure Marrakech to Fes

Your adventure begins at 8:30 AM when your driver will meet you at your Riad. From there, you will embark on a journey southward, crossing the High Atlas Mountains, which act as a natural divide, separating Morocco into two distinct regions. As you ascend to heights exceeding 2200 meters, you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views. You will then follow the ancient caravan route known as the Ounila Valley, renowned for its historic Kasbahs and 14th-century architecture. Lunch will be served at the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. By late afternoon, you will pass through Morocco’s “Hollywood” city, where numerous films such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia were produced. The journey will conclude at a charming Riad in the Dades Gorge.

Wake up early to find a prime spot to witness the sunrise over the golden sand dunes. After breakfast, your journey continues northward, with the landscape gradually transforming from arid and yellow to lush and green. You will reach the largest cedar forest in the heart of the Middle Atlas, an ideal location to observe Berber macaque monkeys. Please be cautious, as they might attempt to take your phones, glasses, or food. The journey will take you through Ifrane, often referred to as the “Moroccan Swiss Village,” renowned for its Swiss-inspired architecture. By evening, you will arrive in Fes, the oldest imperial city in Morocco, where you will rest at your authentic Riad.
