On this 4 days desert tour from Casablanca, the starry sky of your overnight at the stunning Berber villages made of adobe that crown the hills of the road to Dades gorges and Marrakech will definitely be an unforgettable experience. There, you will see some of the most beautiful views and enjoy the warm welcome of the locals.
Day 1: Casablanca to Fes:
The 4 days tour from Casablanca will start with a short tour of Casablanca, Morocco’s commercial capital. We will visit the outside of the Hassan II Great Mosque, one of the Islamic world’s most recognized landmarks, and then take a short walk down the Corniche… Depending on the time of your arrival, several sights may be visited.
Later, we’ll travel to Rabat, Morocco’s capital. The Hassan Tower and the exquisite Mohammed V Mausoleum are also located there.
We’ll leave late in the afternoon for Fes, passing through Meknes and maybe stopping to view Bab Mansour, Moulay Ismail’s “Moroccan Versailles” erected at the end of the 17th century, before continuing to Fes and settling into your hotel/riad.
Day 2: Fes to Merzouga desert:
We’ll pick you up from your hotel/riad after breakfast and transport you to Ifrane, a Moroccan-style settlement with Swiss influences. Next, we’ll go to Azrou, where we’ll stop at the Middle Atlas Mountains’ largest cedar forest, as well as Morocco’s largest cedar forest.
The Barbary Monkeys may be seen there. After lunch, we’ll carry on to Merzouga through Midelt and a halt at Ziz Valley, which is a breathtaking site. We’ll arrive at Merzouga Sahara desert late in the day and begin our camel adventure to the Erg Chebbi desert camp.
You’ll spend the night in our desert tents and have dinner there as well. The camp is well-equipped, and the Berbers provide delectable cuisine. They also perform and sing Berber music beneath the stars.
Day 3: Merzouga desert to Boumalne Dades:
As part of our 4-day desert trip package, we recommend waking up early this morning to see the sunrise, followed by breakfast and a shower at the camp. We’ll see Morocco’s tallest and narrowest gorges, the Tinghir and Todra Canyons, on our journey to Marrakech.
Later we’ll go to Dades Valley through the Dades Gorges, passing by beautiful castles and stunning rock formations. We’ll stay at a local hotel there for the night.
Day 4: Boumalne Dades to Marrakech:
After breakfast, we continue to Ouarzazate via the Dades Valley. The Dades Valley’s Way of the Thousand Kasbahs gives a wonderful photographic opportunity.
Before arriving in Ouarzazate, we’ll stop by the Taourirt Kasbah and Atlas Film Studios in Kelaat Mgouna, often known as the “Pink City” or “City of Roses.” Finally, we proceed to Marrakech through the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah.
