We left early in the morning from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, embarking on an exciting luxury tour as part of your unforgettable Sahara Desert adventure. Our journey takes us toward Skoura Valley, crossing the majestic High Atlas Mountains, where heights of 2,260 meters reveal breathtaking natural landscapes at every turn. Our first stop is the Kasbah of Aït-Ben-Haddou, one of Morocco’s oldest UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Here, we’ll explore this iconic site with a local guide and enjoy lunch nearby.
The Kasbah consists of several small fortresses, or kasbahs, each standing about ten meters high. While most of the city’s inhabitants have moved to a more modern village across the river, eight families still reside in the old Kasbah. Visiting this area feels like stepping onto a movie set, as it has served as the backdrop for several famous films, including Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, Gladiator, Alexander, and Prince of Persia.
After lunch, we continue our adventure on the road to the Dades Valley, nestled between the High Atlas Mountains and the Jbel Saghro range to the south. This region boasts one of the largest oases and is home to numerous kasbahs, earning it the nickname “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs” due to the abundance of these historic structures scattered throughout the valley.
As we travel through the Dades Valley, we can reach the stunning Dades Gorge and the famous Todra Gorges (Canyon). The Grand Canyon area of the Todra Gorge is renowned for its spectacular natural scenery, with imposing canyon walls that make it one of the most breathtaking rock formations in all of North Africa. A road runs the length of the gorge, flanked by smooth, towering walls that rise impressively on both sides. Sunlight struggles to penetrate this part of the valley, and the river water remains ice cold.
In this stunning location, we will stay overnight and enjoy dinner at a charming riad, allowing you to relax and reflect on your luxury Morocco tour and the day’s adventures in the heart of Morocco’s beautiful landscapes. This journey promises to showcase the incredible diversity and allure of Morocco, ensuring a memorable experience you won’t soon forget.

desert trip to Fes
OUR driver is so friendly, personable and accommodating that this made my adventure so much more worthwhile. He is fluent in both English and French and always has great stories to share of Morocco.
I have already booked another custom adventure with this incredible tour company as I’m returning back this spring. Loved my time in Morocco and Moroccan sahara tours to Fes is excellent
3D2N Desert Tour from Marrakech to Fes
Nice arrangement and clear information from Mr. Hicham
Driver was nice and fun, we enjoyed a lot and got memorable times in Morocco.
Wonderful sights. Amazing Driver
We really enjoyed our three day experience. With several stops on the first day’s drive we say a range of fantastic sights, from impressive viewing points along the Atlas mountains, to the beautiful ancient town of Ouarzazate. The (4 star) hotel we stayed in on the first night was OK, though quite basic. However, when we had a problem with the heating system the staff were very helpful, and the meal provided was more than sufficient. The camEL ride and desert experience were fantastic, and the organisation ran very smoothly. Although the third day does involve a long drive (something which is to be expected regarding the distance from Marrakech) our wonderful guide Salah, was so friendly and accommodating and made the experience an fantastic one for all of us. Unlike other comments I have read here, at no point were we asked to pay any ‘extra fees’ and the trip was exactly as it is described in the overview. Overall, we had a very memorable and enjoyable 3 days.
good
I did the 3 days desert tour from Marrakech to Fes . This was hands down the best part of our stay in Morocco.
Mohamed our driver was great and was very responsive in the run-up to our trip . He was super friendly, flexible and shared lots about life in the desert.
The hotels were all great and the tent set-up in the desert was incredible. I would recommend a trip with our real morocco
