The tour
The classic way from Marrakech to Fes
Instead of a long train ride, cross Morocco through its most spectacular landscapes. Day one takes you over the High Atlas to Aït Benhaddou and the Dades Valley. On day two you walk in the Todra Gorge and ride a camel into the Sahara for a night in our desert camp.
On day three we drive north through the Ziz Valley and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, with a stop in Ifrane, arriving in Fes in the evening.
- Private car and driver – stop whenever you like
- Standard or luxury desert camp
