MARRAKECH TO FES DESRET TOUR 3 DAY
We will start our journey towards Ouarzazate leaving Marrakech behind to embark on an unforgettable experience. During the journey, we will cross the astonishing landscapes of the High Atlas through the incredible Tizi n'Tichka pass, 2,260 meters high. Halfway through, we will arrive at the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, one of the most beautiful and fascinating places in Morocco. The astonishing fortified city of Ait Ben Haddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Several series and movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Alexander the Great were filmed here. Continuing our route, we will arrive at Ouarzazate, where we will see the Kasbah of Taourirt, the former residence of one of the most powerful governors of the region and also declared a World Heritage Site. Taking the Road of the Thousand Kasbahs towards Skoura, we will cross the Rose Valley to finally reach the Dades Gorges where we will stay (sometimes we stay in Skoura).
After breakfast, we will continue our journey towards the Dades Valley and cross the incredible Todra Gorges to explore and enjoy the wonderful landscape of this valley. Then, continuing on the road towards Merzouga, we will cross the Jorf Palmeral, where the best dates come from. We will have lunch before reaching Erfoud, a small town known for fossil fragments. After lunch, we will head straight to Merzouga, where we will leave the vehicle to take a 1.5-hour camel ride and venture into the desert. At the end of the camel ride, we will arrive at the camp where we will spend the night. There, in the most wonderful landscape of Erg Chebbi desert, we will enjoy a delicious and authentic Moroccan dinner.
