Private tour
From Fes to Marrakech the unhurried way, with two nights in the dunes, a night in the Dades Gorges and another at the foot of Aït Ben Haddou.
01 — Overview
This is the most relaxed way to cross from Fes to Marrakech through the desert. Two nights in Erg Chebbi give you a whole day among the dunes, and stopping overnight at Aït Ben Haddou means the final leg over the High Atlas is short and easy.

Driving times come from real road data and don't include stops. Your driver adjusts the pace to you.
Day 01
Fes → Ifrane → Azrou cedar forest → Midelt → Ziz Gorges → Erfoud → Merzouga
We collect you from your riad in Fes after breakfast. Pass through Ifrane and the cedar forest near Azrou, cross the high plateau at Midelt and follow the Ziz Gorges south. At Merzouga your camels are waiting for the sunset ride into camp.
Day 02
Wake for sunrise, then explore the erg by 4×4: the Gnawa musicians of Khamlia, the old market town of Rissani and a nomad family's tent for tea. In the afternoon, rest in the shade or try sandboarding, then spend a second night under the stars.
Day 03
Merzouga → Tinejdad → Todra Gorge → Tinghir → Dades Gorges
Drive west through the oasis towns to walk into the Todra Gorge, then on to a kasbah hotel in the Dades Gorges, where the evening light turns the cliffs deep red.
Day 04
Dades Gorges → Kelaat M'Gouna → Skoura → Ouarzazate → Aït Ben Haddou
A gentle day along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, through Kelaat M'Gouna and the palm grove of Skoura to Ouarzazate. You arrive at Aït Ben Haddou in the afternoon and can explore the ksar in the golden hour.
Day 05
Aït Ben Haddou → Tizi n'Tichka → Marrakech
A short morning drive over Tizi n'Tichka at 2,260 m, stopping at viewpoints and Berber villages on the way down. We drop you at your accommodation in Marrakech around lunchtime.
