Morocco Tour - Sahara Desert & Imperial Cities From Marrakech

Start & end in Marrakesh 5 days Up to 15

About this trip

Five days from Marrakech to Merzouga and on to Fes, covering the ground between the High Atlas Mountains and the dunes of the Sahara. It's a fast-moving route through mountain passes, gorges, oases and old desert settlements, with a night in the dunes as the centrepiece.

Expect a mix of landscape and city: kasbahs and Berber villages on the way out, camel riding and a desert sunset at Erg Chebbi, then the medinas and souks of Fes before finishing towards Casablanca. It's guided throughout, so the logistics of covering this much ground in five days are taken care of.

What you'll do

  • Cross the High Atlas Mountains
  • Ride camels into the dunes at Erg Chebbi and watch the sunset
  • Stop at kasbahs, gorges and oases along the southern route
  • Explore the medina and souks of Fes
  • Visit traditional Berber villages and architecture
  • See Casablanca's landmarks
Good to know
  • A fast-paced route — five days covers desert, mountains and two Imperial Cities, so travel time each day is significant
  • One night is spent in the desert camp near Merzouga
  • Suits those who want a broad overview of southern Morocco rather than time to linger in any one place
