Private tour
A round trip from Marrakech that packs in the High Atlas, the gorges, two nights in the Erg Chebbi dunes and two in Fes, then returns to the Red City through the Middle Atlas.
01 — Overview
This is the most complete loop you can make from Marrakech in nine days. You cross the High Atlas to the kasbah valleys, sleep two nights in the dunes of Erg Chebbi, and give Fes a full guided day before heading back through cedar forest and the foothills of the Atlas.
It suits travellers flying in and out of Marrakech who want the desert and an imperial city without a one-way flight.
