Travel from Marrakech to Fes on a 3-day Sahara adventure through mountain passes, kasbahs and the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Enjoy camel rides, sandboarding and a night in a desert camp, with transport and two nights of accommodation arranged.
Day 1: Marrakech - Ait Benhaddou - Tinghir
Leave Marrakech and cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass. Visit UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, known for its earthen architecture and film locations. Continue through the Valley of the Roses to Tinghir for dinner and a night in a hotel or riad with a private room and bathroom.
Day 2: Todra Gorge - Merzouga - Erg Chebbi
After breakfast, explore Todra Gorge and continue towards Merzouga. Ride a camel across the Sahara dunes, try sandboarding and enjoy the sunset. A free 4x4 transfer to camp is available on request instead of the camel ride. Settle into your desert tent, enjoy dinner and Berber drumming, and take in the desert night.
Day 3: Sahara - Erfoud - Middle Atlas - Fes
Enjoy the desert sunrise and breakfast before continuing via Erfoud and the Ziz Valley. Travel through the Middle Atlas, with stops in the cedar forest and Ifrane, before arriving in Fes. Barbary macaques live in the forest; sightings depend on the day.
