Itinerary

Day 1 - Fes - Azrou - Ziz Valley - Merzouga

Your adventure begins at 8:00 AM in Fes, birthplace of the 859 CE Karaouine Mosque, a beacon of Idrisid scholarship. A private driver picks you up from your luxury riad, guiding you through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane, a 1920s alpine retreat from the French protectorate era, then Azrou to photograph Barbary macaques in ancient cedar forests. Enjoy lunch in Midelt, a site of Berber resistance, before crossing the lush Ziz Valley’s palm groves. Arrive in Merzouga, the Sahara gateway, and embark on a camel trek to a luxury Berber camp for dinner and stargazing, fully immersing you in nomadic heritage.

Day 2 - Merzouga - Todra Gorges - Dades Valley

Awaken in Merzouga’s luxury desert camp to witness a stunning sunrise over dunes, a scene unchanged since 7th-century Arab conquests brought Islam to the Sahara. After a camel ride back and breakfast, travel by private transport toward Dades Valley. Visit Berber villages with 17th-century ksar fortifications and stroll Todra Gorges’ towering cliffs, shaped over millennia and fortified during the 1907 French conquest. Arrive in Dades Valley’s oasis, home to 19th-century kasbahs, and settle into a luxury riad where expertly crafted dining and stories of trans-Saharan trade enrich your evening in comfort.

 

Day 3 - Dades Valley - Ouarzazate Ait Benhaddou - Tizi N'Tichka - Marrakech

Depart Dades Valley in the morning by private transport toward Marrakech. Stop in Ouarzazate to explore Kasbah Taourirt, a 19th-century Glaoui stronghold tied to French protectorate power, and visit Atlas Studios, famed for films like Gladiator. Discover Ait Benhaddou, a 17th-century UNESCO kasbah once vital to Saharan trade. Cross the High Atlas via Tizi N’Tichka Pass, built in 1936 to control Berber tribes. Arrive in Marrakech by 6:00 PM, checking into a luxury riad for a serene end to your journey.

This wasn’t just a tour — it was a journey through time and emotion. From the moment we left Fes, I felt like I was stepping into a living storybook. The Sahara sunset brought me to tears, and the warmth of the desert camp was beyond anything I expected — music, stars, stories. I’ll never forget the kindness of our driver, the laughter over mint tea, or the breathtaking silence of the dunes at sunrise. I left Morocco changed. Thank you for giving my soul something to hold onto forever.
