5 days/4 nights - Departure Fez To Marrakech
Imperial Cities and the Sahara from Fes Merzouga-Marrakech-

1st day: Fes – Rissani Departure from Fes at 8 o'clock, travelling via Azrou, where you can see Barbary apes in the forest of the Middle Atlas. Lunch is in Midelt, “the apple capital”, at the foot of the Ayachi Mountain . We continue over the Tizi-n-Talremt pass and through the Ziz Valley , which is particularly well-known for its palm trees and the length of the oasis. All along the road there are innumerable “ksars”, small villages of individual houses. From here we reach Er Rachidia and then Erfoud, famous for its date festival and fossils. In Rissani the night is spent in a new but traditionally built Kasbah. Rissani is the origins of the Alaouite family, the family of the present king of Morocco .

2nd day: Rissani - Merzouga In the morning after breakfast, a visit to the traditional market (where you can see the donkey park!) and the old ksars in Rissani is scheduled. Lunch is at the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, followed by a camel ride to watch the sunset from the top of the dunes. Back at the bivouac dinner is served, followed by an evening of music and the night in a nomad tent.

3rd day: Merzouga – Dades If you wake up early enough, you can watch the spectacle of the sunrise, when the colour of the dunes and the play of shadows are an awesome sight. After breakfast you can walk in the dunes before leaving for Tinghir and the Toudgha gorges for lunch. The road passes through Tinjdad and the Toudgha Valley . Here there are plenty of opportunities to walk, such as along the river through the gardens or up the road on the other side of the gorges. Later the itinerary continues to the Dades Valley and the Dades Gorges for the night in a hotel.

4th day: Dades - Ouarzazate After breakfast a walk in the Dades Gorges is scheduled. Back at the car, the trip to Ouarzazate continues, going off-road along the Boutarar piste to visit Berber nomads in their caves and partake of a glass of tea with them. From here we continue through the Valley of the Roses, famous for its Rose Festival in May, and past the kasbahs of Skoura. In Ouarzazate, you stay in a riad.

5th day: Ouarzazate - Marrakesh After breakfast, the route goes on to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a World Heritage site and the backdrop for many Hollywood blockbusters. It is the most famous Kasbah in Morocco . From there the road continues to Telouet, along the new asphalted road. Telouet is set right in the midst of the mountains and was once the seat of the last Pasha of Marrakesh, El Glaoui, from where the highest pass in Africa , Tizi-n-Tichka was controlled. At the end of the afternoon we arrive in Marrakesh .
