Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga

The journey begins early in the morning as we depart from Fes, one of Morocco’s most historic cities. Our first stop is Ifrane, often referred to as the “Switzerland of Morocco” due to its European-style architecture and lush surroundings. This charming town is a perfect spot to take pictures and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

Continuing our journey, we pass through the Cedar Forest of Azrou, home to the famous Barbary macaques. Here, you can witness these fascinating primates in their natural habitat and take in the stunning landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Our next destination is Midelt, where we pause for a delicious lunch before heading towards the Ziz Valley. This oasis, with its endless palm groves and ancient kasbahs, offers a glimpse into Morocco’s rich agricultural heritage.

As the sun begins to set, we arrive at Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Here, a camel trek awaits, taking us deep into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Watching the sunset over the Sahara while riding a camel is a truly magical experience. Our night is spent in a luxurious desert camp, where we enjoy traditional Berber cuisine, live music, and a mesmerizing star-lit sky.

Day 2: Merzouga – Rissani – Todra Gorge – Dades Valley

After a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, we begin our day with a traditional Berber breakfast before heading towards Rissani, the historical capital of the Tafilalet region. Rissani is famous for its bustling souks, where you can explore local crafts, spices, and traditional Moroccan goods.

From Rissani, we make our way to the Todra Gorge, one of Morocco’s most impressive natural wonders. These towering canyon walls, reaching heights of up to 300 meters, provide a paradise for hikers and rock climbers. You can enjoy a refreshing walk along the river and take in the dramatic scenery before continuing our journey.

Our next stop is the Dades Valley, often called the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs.” The road through the valley is dotted with ancient fortresses, picturesque villages, and breathtaking rock formations, making it one of Morocco’s most scenic drives. We check into a traditional riad or kasbah for the night, where we relax and enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner.

Day 3: Dades Valley – Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakech

After breakfast, we continue our journey through the Valley of Roses, renowned for its fragrant rose gardens and annual Rose Festival. This valley is a key region for the production of rose water and essential oils, which are widely used in Moroccan beauty products.

Our next stop is Ouarzazate, also known as the “Hollywood of Morocco” due to its famous film studios. Many blockbuster movies, including Gladiator, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones, were filmed in this region. A visit to the Atlas Film Studios or the Taourirt Kasbah offers insight into Morocco’s film industry and historical architecture.

We then proceed to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, an iconic ksar (fortified village) that has been featured in numerous films and TV shows. This ancient village, built from traditional mud-brick structures, is one of the best-preserved examples of Moroccan earthen architecture.

The final leg of our journey takes us across the High Atlas Mountains, navigating the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in Morocco. As we descend towards Marrakech, the landscape transforms into a vibrant mix of red-hued mountains, lush valleys, and traditional Berber villages.
