    3-Day Tour from Ouarzazate to Fes

    Day 1: Ouarzazate → Ait Benhaddou Kasbah → Roses Valley → Dades Valley → Boumalne → Tinghir

    Your desert expedition begins with a pickup from your Ouarzazate hotel. The first highlight is Ait Benhaddou, a striking mud-brick ksar (fortified village) that once thrived along ancient trade routes. Famous for its appearances in films like *Gladiator*, this UNESCO site offers a glimpse into Morocco’s past. After exploring, you’ll head back to Ouarzazate to visit Atlas Studios and Kasbah Taourirte. The journey continues through Skoura’s palm groves, the fragrant Roses Valley, and the rugged Dades Valley. Your first day concludes in Tinghir, where you’ll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

    Day 2: Todra Gorges → Tinjdad → Erfoud → Rissani → Erg Chebbi

    After breakfast, you’ll visit the breathtaking Todra Gorges, where 300-meter-high cliffs create a paradise for rock climbers. The drive then takes you through Tinghir’s palm-filled oasis and onward to the Sahara. Passing through Berber villages like Erfoud and Rissani, you’ll reach Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here, a camel trek awaits, leading you to a desert camp nestled among the dunes. Enjoy a magical sunset, a traditional dinner, and a night under the stars with Berber music.

    Day 3: Merzouga → Ziz Valley → Middle Atlas Mountains → Cedar Forest → Ifrane → Fes

    Wake early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, you’ll camel-trek back to Merzouga before driving toward Fes.
