Then we continue the Marrakech sahara desert trip 3 days to Ouarzazate also known as “The gate of the desert” that in berber language means “noiseless or without confusion”. Here we´ll see the Taourirt kasbah, one of the most spectacular ksars in Morocco.

The second day of our Marrakech to Fes desert tour three days after breakfast we´ll enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the Dadées Valley from one strategic lookout in the mountains, from there we can appreciate the great number of kasbahs and the scenic characteristics of each one. A very good asphalt road leads up the valley from the city of Tinerhir to the gorge and then to the desert. After some stops on the way we´ll reach the Todra Gorges. The scenery is spectacular. Local people live in the area and can be seen in their adobe villages. Thanks to its rock sides with many uneven surfaces, these gorges are popular among rock climbers.

Stop At: Erg Chebbi, Erg Chebbi, Meknes-Tafilalet Region
Very early in the morning of our third day of the Marrakech to Fes Sahara desert tour we have a “Date with the sunrise”. In the middle of the desert, waking up early is a “must do” to contemplate the most spectacular sunrise you´ve ever seen at the top of a dune close to the camp.
Then we return to Merzouga on the camels where a delicious breakfast is waiting for us. Once ready, we start our last day to the north through the Tafilalet palm grove, the biggest in the world. You´ll see thousands of palm trees along the 20km of road. This way leads us to the Ziz valley, which river comes down from the high Atlas and feeds the palm grove. Here we make a stop and from this high viewpoint, enjoy a magnificent view of the valley and the town of Aoufous.

For me it was the best experience of my life. We chose the 3 day tour from Marrakech to Fes; along the way we made several steps, visited the Atlas, kasbahs, stayed overnight in a spectacular hostel and finally arrived in the desert, which was the beautiful part of the whole trip. I can't describe the beauty of this experience. I am very grateful to Omar for being our guide. Very available to teach, and takes the amazing photos I have ever seen. Thousand stars Highly recommendedEva T

The experience in the desert with spectacular camels, a Berber night with music, food, fire and dance, and of course incredible views of the stars, sunrise of the moon and sun. During the trip, charming villages with beautiful views are discovred on the tour. End of the tour in Fes and the midena, touring its streets, culture and art. A good experience with family and to meet people from all over the world, I would repeat it without a doubt!!Anna L

Since we put day in Morocco, we always facilitate things with a smile and lot of patience, even varying the itinerary for our enjoyment. We organize the tailor made tour for a group of 5 people, and the truth is that we lacked days to see all the charms of area and its people! We were getting responses to our many questions from Said promptly and clearly he was so responsive. The desert, the party, the camel trek and the sunrise over spectacular dunes and always with first class attraction. But the best, without a doubt, our guide Omar, who worked hard as the one who fulfilled our wishes and ended up bieng part of our group, he is always so patient and helpful. Not recommended, MORE Than recommended!
