DAY 03

We’ll depart Marrakech and journey across the majestic Atlas Mountains, where snow-capped peaks rise above the palm-filled valleys. Along the way, you’ll pass through traditional Berber villages perched on rugged hillsides and deep gorges. Our first stop will be the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its striking architecture and role as a backdrop in many films. Continuing through breathtaking, almost biblical landscapes, we’ll arrive in Ouarzazate, home to an impressive Kasbah and often called the “Gateway to the Desert.” Traveling through the scenic Valley of Roses, we’ll reach Boumalne Dades, where dinner is serve and we’ll spend the night.

DAY 04

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure through the Sahara Desert. Our journey takes us along the Valley of the Kasbahs, where endless palm groves, ancient fortresses, and traditional adobe villages paint a picture of Morocco’s timeless beauty. We’ll travel across rocky plains, lush oases, and winding river valleys that once served as vital trade routes.

A highlight of the day will be our visit to the Todgha Gorge, a spectacular natural wonder with sheer cliffs soaring over 100 meters high on either side. Along the way, we’ll stop in a small adobe village near Khorbat, where you’ll have the chance to learn about local desert life and the community initiatives. We’ll continue toward Erfoud, where you’ll have the option to join an off-road excursion into the Sahara dunes to witness an unforgettable sunset over the desert sands.

DAY 05

We’ll set off early from Erfoud, crossing the Atlas Mountains once more through rugged gorges and spectacular scenery. The route will take us across a high plateau, home to nomadic shepherds who have lived here for generations. Along the way, we’ll stop in Midelt, a bustling market town known for its farming traditions, before continuing to the Middle Atlas, where we’ll pause by a serene lakeside setting for lunch.

As we journey on, the landscape transforms into lush forests where snow often blankets the ground in winter. Near Azrou, we’ll visit the “House of Cedars”, a small museum located in a national park that offers insight into the local ecosystem and traditions. Here, you’ll also have the chance to see playful Barbary macaques that inhabit the cedar woods.

Next, we’ll stop in Bhalil, a tranquil Berber town known for its colorful streets and cave dwellings—many of which have been converted into charming homes. Finally, we’ll continue to Fez, where we’ll stop at the Marinid Tombs for a panoramic view of the ancient city before heading to our hotel.

We’ll begin our day with a guided tour of Fez, entering through the Bronze Gates of the Royal Palace and exploring the Jewish Quarter, its bustling souks, and the famous Tanners’ Quarter. As Morocco’s cultural heart, Fez is celebrated for its magnificent Medina, which beautifully preserves the essence of traditional Arab life. We’ll wrap up our visit with lunch at a historic palace nestled within the Medina.

In the afternoon, we’ll travel northward through Morocco along a modern highway, arriving in Tangier by evening. Enjoy dinner.
