6 DAYS TOUR FROM MARRAKECH

After breakfast, we will set off through the Dades Valley. We will stop at a stunning location overlooking the valley, so you can enjoy the amazing scenery of the Dades Gorges. Then, we will continue to the Todra Gorges, where the Todra River has created a huge canyon in the mountains, forming high red cliffs. You will be able to walk through the gorges and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We will also pass by palm plantations in Touroug and Tinjdad, and you will have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we will reach the Sahara Desert in Merzouga. Here, you will ride camels and ride through the sandy desert. We will stop so you can watch the sun setting over a high sand dune – it’s like magic! After that, we will head to a luxury desert camp. You will be able to listen to Berber drum music, dance around a bonfire, and gaze at the stars in the open sky. Dinner and a comfortable night’s rest will be at the camp. It will be a unique and amazing experience!

Start your day by setting an early alarm, giving you the chance to witness a stunning and magnificent sunrise. After breakfast, we head to Rissani, the historical foundation of the current ruling family. It is still an important place for trade and has a large market that is busy on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Next, we visit a workshop where they make things out of fossilized marble in Erfoud. Then, we drive alongside the Ziz River and stop to get a panoramic view of this valley. The trip continues, passing through the cedar forest, where monkeys called Barbary macaques live. You can feed them and walk through the forest, then stop in Ifrane, a special town because it is very cold and snowy and has houses that look like those in the mountains of Switzerland. Afterwards, we drive to Fez, where we spend the night in your riad.

After breakfast in your riad, you will discover the city of Fes with our friendly guide. Fes is a really important city in Morocco for its culture and religion, and it is one of the great cities of yesteryear. First thing in the morning, we start at the gate of the Royal Palace. Then, we will explore the very old part of the city, called the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your local guide will show you around. We will start at the Blue Gate, called Bab Boujloud, and then we will wander through a bunch of small streets. We will see interesting places like the tanneries, the Najjarine Fountain, and the Medrasa Bouanania. And don’t forget the Quaraouin mosque and university, which is the oldest university in history! After that, we will leave the Medina and visit the Jewish quarter, also called “the Mellah”. In the afternoon, we will drive to an old fortress to get a breathtaking view of the city. Finally, we will return to your riad.
