Upon arrival at Marrakech Menara Airport, you’ll be transferred to your authentic riad in the heart of the medina.

Enjoy a welcome dinner on a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Koutoubia Mosque’s illuminated minaret.
Depart early for a spectacular drive through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260m). Stop at strategic viewpoints to photograph traditional Berber villages before arriving at the UNESCO-listed ksar of Ait Ben Haddou. Explore this ancient clay fortress that has starred in numerous films before continuing to Ouarzazate, known as “Morocco’s Hollywood.” Visit the Atlas Film Studios and enjoy dinner at your hotel with views of the surrounding mountains.
After breakfast, journey through the stunning Dades Valley, known as the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs.” Stop at Todra Gorge to walk between its towering 300-meter-high cliffs, then continue through palm groves and desert landscapes to Merzouga. As the sun begins to set, mount your camel for a magical trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes to your luxury desert camp. Enjoy traditional Berber music under a canopy of stars before retiring to your private tent.
Wake early to witness the sunrise over the dunes, then return to your desert hotel for breakfast. Today offers multiple desert experiences: visit a nomadic family to learn about their traditions, try sandboarding down the golden slopes, or take a 4×4 excursion to explore the surrounding arid landscapes. In the evening, relax by the pool or enjoy a second night in the desert camp for those who choose the extension.
Depart the desert for a full-day journey north through dramatic scenery. Pass through the Ziz Valley’s lush palm oases, stop in Midelt for lunch, then continue through cedar forests where wild monkeys roam. The landscape transforms as you reach Ifrane, Morocco’s “Little Switzerland,” before arriving in Fes in the evening. Enjoy your first taste of Fassi cuisine at a traditional restaurant in the medina.
On your final morning, take a guided tour of Fes’s UNESCO-listed medina, visiting landmarks like the Al Quaraouiyine University, Chouara Tanneries, and Bou Inania Madrasa. Depending on your flight time, enjoy lunch in a restored palace before transferring to Fes Airport for your departure, taking with you unforgettable memories of Morocco’s imperial cities and Sahara adventures.
