5 Days Morocco tour from Fes

Your 5 Day Morocco desert tour begins with pickup from the airport or your accommodation in Fes. Traveling south, you’ll pass through Ifrane, known for its alpine charm, then continue into the Middle Atlas Mountains and the cedar forests, home to Barbary macaques. After crossing Azrou and Midelt, the landscape opens into the dramatic Ziz Valley, lined with palm groves and kasbahs. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Merzouga Desert, where you’ll settle into a comfortable hotel near the dunes for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today is dedicated to discovering the Sahara around Merzouga. After breakfast, enjoy a desert excursion by 4×4, visiting nomadic families, ancient kohl mines, and the Gnawa village of Khamlia, known for its traditional music. You’ll explore varied desert landscapes, from rocky plains to sweeping dunes, and enjoy a relaxed lunch in the area. In the late afternoon, your camel trek begins, carrying you across the golden dunes as the sun sets over the Sahara. Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, you’ll enjoy dinner under the stars, traditional music by the campfire, and an unforgettable night in the heart of the desert.

After an early sunrise in the desert and breakfast, you depart Merzouga toward Rissani, where you can visit its lively traditional market, once a key caravan trading center. The journey continues through arid landscapes toward the spectacular Todra Gorge, with its towering limestone cliffs and refreshing river. After time to walk through the gorge, you’ll drive along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, passing villages and oases before reaching Boumalne Dades. Dinner and overnight are spent in a hotel overlooking the scenic Dades Valley.

This morning, enjoy a guided three-hour hike through the remarkable Dades rock formations and valley trails, offering close contact with local life, terraced fields, and dramatic geology. After the hike and lunch, you continue west through the fragrant Rose Valley, famous for its rose products, and the lush Skoura Oasis, dotted with historic kasbahs. By late afternoon, you arrive in Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” where you’ll check into your hotel for dinner and overnight.

On the final day, you depart Ouarzazate to visit the iconic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most famous fortified villages. After exploring the kasbah, the journey continues through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass with panoramic viewpoints and mountain villages along the way. In the afternoon, you descend toward Marrakech, where your 5 Day Fes to Marrakech desert tour concludes with drop-off at your accommodation, marking the end of a rich and unforgettable Moroccan adventure.
