Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga Desert: 4-Day Trip.

Starting from Marrakech, we'll cross the High Atlas Mountains, reaching an elevation of 2260 meters. Our journey will then continue towards Ait Ben Hadou, where we'll explore Kasr Ait Ben Hadou on foot for an hour. This village, located in the foothills of the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, is home to the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. The ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a remarkable example of southern Moroccan architecture, with its mainly collective grouping of dwellings. The defensive walls, reinforced by angle towers and pierced with a baffle gate, house modest buildings, as well as those resembling small urban castles, with high angle towers and upper sections decorated with motifs in clay brick. There are also buildings and community areas. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, adding to its historical and cultural significance. We'll enjoy lunch in Ait Ben Haddou, then continue our journey by crossing Ouarzazate to reach the "valley of 1000 Kasbahs," Dades Valley, where we'll spend a fantastic night.

After a restful night, you will be served a delicious breakfast, while enjoying the refreshing air and natural surroundings of the village. Our first stop of the day will be at the breathtaking Dades Gorges. We will then hit the road to Merzouga, passing through Boumalne Dades and stopping at the Todgha Gorges in Tinghir. These gorges are situated on the eastern side of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and are known worldwide for their stunning beauty and unique rock formations, with cliffs reaching up to 300 meters in height. We will have lunch on the way, and take some time to visit the old irrigation system. Continuing on our journey, we will reach Merzouga, also known as the "Desert Dream," where we will spend the night in a comfortable hotel.

After waking up and having breakfast, we'll visit the sacred lake and an old Berber village with Gnaoua music. We'll also treat you to a special lunch of Berber pizza. Later, we'll return to the hotel for some relaxation time before getting ready for a camel ride to the desert campsite located amidst the dunes. Spend the night in a Berber tent under the stars.

Before the sunrise, you will be awoken to climb the sand dunes and capture breathtaking photographs. After that, we will return to the hotel for breakfast and showers before embarking on our journey to Fez. During the journey, we will pass through various cities such as Erfoud, Errachidia, and the Ziz Valley, as well as Midelt, where we will stop for lunch if you are hungry. If not, we will have lunch on the road. We will also stop to take pictures of the cedar forests and monkey troops in Azrou, and another stop in Ifrane to see the town's beauty and capture some photographs. Finally, we will continue our journey until we reach Fez, where we will drop you off at your riad/hotel.
