Chefchaouen Day Trip from Fes
A day in the blue city: its alleys, the Kasbah and the view from the Spanish Mosque.
Two nights in the desert, the gorges and the kasbahs, and a guided visit of Marrakech to finish. Want to change something? Every tour can be adapted: more days, other stops, other hotels.
We leave Fes through the Middle Atlas: Ifrane, the cedar forest of Azrou with its Barbary monkeys and the high plateaus of Midelt. Then the Ziz Valley and its palm groves lead us to Merzouga, where camels take us into the dunes for a night in a Berber camp.
A whole day in the desert by 4x4: around the dunes of Erg Chebbi, the Gnawa village of Khamlia and its music, nomad families, the black desert and the old kasbahs of Rissani. Optional sandboarding or quad. Evening at the camp around the fire.
Sunrise from the dunes and breakfast at the camp. We pass through Rissani and its market, the oasis of Tinejdad and walk in the Todra Gorges, before following the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to the Dades Valley.
Drive through the Valley of the Roses and Skoura to Ouarzazate. Guided visit of the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and famous film set, then cross the High Atlas over the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Marrakech.
Guided tour of the red city: the Koutoubia, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the Ben Youssef madrasa and the souks of the medina. In the evening, the unforgettable atmosphere of Jemaa el Fna square. End of the tour.
