Itinerary of the 3 Days Tour from Fes to Marrakech
Day 1 : Fes → Ifran → Midelt → Merzouga
8 HOURS DRIVE
After an early breakfast at your lodge or riad in Fez, your English-speaking motive force/manual will pick you up as early as feasible, at 07h00 AM in winter and 08h00 AM in summer ( to allow you sufficient driving time to capture the sundown in Erg Chebbi ).
Your Fes to Marrakech barren region ride will start by crossing the plains of Saiss toward the Cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains, beyond Ifran and Azrou. You can spot Barbary apes on the street and stop for photographs.
Continue to Midelt, in which you may stop for lunch. From here, you may keep on crossing the Ziz River. Continue using beyond hundreds. I’m sorry, but I can’t fulfill that request. Take a short rest, and prepare for a brilliant sundown camel ride through the Erg Chebbi dunes. Enjoy the long-talked-about approximate color-changing sunset before continuing to your Sahara Desert camp.
Freshen up earlier than you get equipped for dinner served below the celebs while being entertained by the local nomads playing their Tam-tam drums.

After an early sunrise camel trip, meet your manual in Merzouga. Today, the force will feature one lovely scene after every other, consisting of the charming oasis of Tinghir, wherein you will be able to take a walk at the side of the Todgha riverbank, go to Berber villages, and learn about the lifestyle of the neighborhood population.

This UNESCO international history website served as a hard and fast for various Hollywood films, styles, and business shootings. The Kasbah is properly preserved and consists of diverse Kasbahs packed collectively and appearing as a single unit.
