3 Days Luxury Tour from Fes

Day 1: From Fes to the Sahara Desert: Forests, Valleys & Golden Dunes

Your Luxury Desert Tour from Fes begins early in the morning as your private driver welcomes you for a journey that transforms hour by hour — from the cool air of the Middle Atlas to the warmth of the desert wind.

Your first stop is Ifrane, often called “Little Switzerland” for its alpine architecture, pristine gardens, and crisp mountain air. A stroll through its tidy streets offers a tranquil contrast to Fes’s medina, setting the tone for the scenic day ahead. Continue to Azrou, a charming Berber town surrounded by majestic cedar forests. Here, playful Barbary macaques swing through the trees — a delightful sight and perfect photo opportunity.

After a refreshing mountain drive, pause for lunch in Midelt, a peaceful town nestled between the Middle and High Atlas ranges. The road then descends dramatically into the Ziz Valley, where date palms and clay villages line a winding river that cuts through ochre cliffs. The views from the panoramic lookout are simply spectacular — a mosaic of green and gold stretching as far as the eye can see.

As you approach the edge of the Sahara, the landscape transforms once again. The first dunes of Erg Chebbi rise on the horizon, glowing like molten gold under the late afternoon sun. In Merzouga, you’ll switch from your private SUV to a camel caravan, gliding across the sands toward your exclusive desert retreat.

Tonight, you’ll settle into your luxury desert camp, where elegant Berber tents await with all modern comforts. As the sun sets, dine under the stars, savor refined Moroccan dishes, and listen to the rhythmic beat of desert drums — the music of the Sahara welcoming you to its timeless embrace.

Day 2: From the Sahara to the Dades Valley: Souks, Canyons & Mountain Roads

Awake before dawn for one of Morocco’s most mesmerizing spectacles — sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch as the desert awakens in waves of amber and gold, the silence broken only by the whisper of the wind. After breakfast at your luxury camp, you’ll ride back across the sands by camel or 4×4 to meet your driver and begin the next chapter of your 3 Days Luxury Tour from Fes.

Your first stop is Rissani, a historic market town that once served as the gateway for ancient caravans trading salt, gold, and spices across the Sahara. Stroll through its vibrant traditional souk, where merchants still barter for fresh dates, woven rugs, and silver jewelry. A visit to the Moulay Ali Cherif Mausoleum, the founder of Morocco’s royal Alaouite dynasty, adds a spiritual note to this desert town’s rich past.

Continue toward Tinghir, an oasis of lush palm groves framed by rugged cliffs. From here, a short drive brings you to the spectacular Todra Gorges, one of Morocco’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Walk along the riverbed between towering limestone walls that soar over 300 meters high — a breathtaking experience that perfectly captures the country’s raw beauty.

In the late afternoon, travel through a series of dramatic landscapes dotted with ancient kasbahs and winding roads that lead to the peaceful Dades Valley. The valley’s red rock formations, known as the Monkey Fingers, glow vividly at sunset — a photographer’s dream. Tonight, enjoy the serenity of your luxury accommodation, where comfort meets mountain charm, and the scent of Moroccan cuisine fills the cool desert air.

Day 3: From Dades Valley to Marrakech: Roses, Kasbahs & the High Atlas

After breakfast, your journey westward unfolds through Morocco’s most cinematic landscapes. Leaving the tranquility of the Dades Valley, you’ll drive through the Valley of Roses, famous for its spring bloom and artisanal rosewater cooperatives. Continue to the lush Skoura Oasis, where ancient kasbahs rise among endless palm groves — an idyllic stop to capture the essence of rural Morocco.

By midday, you’ll reach Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Africa”. Visit the historic Taourirt Kasbah, once home to the influential Glaoui family, and explore the Atlas Film Studios, where legendary movies such as Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed.

Next, venture to the legendary Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Morocco’s most iconic ksar (fortified village). Wander through its maze of sun-dried earthen towers as your guide shares stories of ancient traders and cinematic adventures filmed among its walls.

As the day progresses, your road climbs into the High Atlas Mountains via the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). The journey reveals breathtaking panoramas of valleys, terraced fields, and Berber villages perched against rugged peaks. Each curve unveils another postcard-perfect view, reminding you how diverse Morocco truly is.

By early evening, descend into the vibrant Red City of Marrakech, where your private driver will escort you to your riad or luxury hotel. Your 3 Days Luxury Tour from Fes concludes here — a seamless blend of culture, luxury, and adventure that has taken you from the spiritual heart of Morocco to the rhythm and color of its most famous city.
