Itinerary – 2 Days tour from Ouarzazte to Fes
Day 1: Ouarzazate → Todra Gorge → Merzouga
Rise early in Ouarzazate and explore Kasbah Taourirt, once home to Pacha Glaoui and now filled with stories about its time as a film set.
Your driver will wind east along the Road of 1,000 Kasbahs, pausing at the palm groves of Skoura and the cliff-hanging fortress of Amridil.
By midday, you will arrive at the towering walls of the Todra Gorge, which soar above a river-carved canyon. Stretch your legs on a shaded riverside walk and take photos of the dramatic canyon.
As the afternoon wears on, the landscape shifts to ochre plains and fossil-strewn hamlets before you arrive at Merzouga’s Erg Chebbi.
Camel caravans await you here. Climb a dune to watch the sun melt into the horizon, then follow your camel to a private desert camp.
Dinner by firelight, Berber drum rhythms, and a spectacular night sky complete your first day of desert immersion.
Day 2: Merzouga → Ziz Valley → Cedar Forests → Fes
Rise before dawn to witness the sunrise spectacle atop Erg Chebbi, where the dunes glow peach and lavender under a cool desert breeze. After a hearty breakfast at the campsite, climb back on your camel or board the 4×4 for a journey north.
First, you will travel through the Ziz Valley, where date palms line azure streams and forgotten kasbahs dot the horizon. Then, the road climbs through the Midelt plateau, crossing high-altitude passes marked by Berber shepherd trails.
In the cedar forests around Azrou, watch Barbary macaques play across mossy tree trunks, and breathe in the scent of pine resin. Late afternoon will bring you to the ancient gates of Fes.
Drink in the panoramic views from the Merinid Tombs before sinking into the labyrinthine medina, where riad lanterns glow like captured fireflies.
