Your Fes to Marrakech desert tour begins after breakfast in your hotel or riad. Then, drive to the fascinating desert of Morocco.

After a break here, you continue driving via the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you will stop somewhere in the cedar forests to watch the Barbary macaques. Lunch will be in a restaurant somewhere on the way, depending on when you want to have it. Before you arrive at Merzouga, you will stop for a panoramic view of the Ziz Valley (full of palm trees). You will reach Merzouga in the evening, then ride camels (one for each) to a desert camp across the sweeping sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Watch a fabulous sunset from a high sand dune, and enjoy the night with Berbers (originally nomads) under the stars in your camp.
An early morning today is highly recommended to watch a peaceful sunrise. After a tasty breakfast at your camp, enjoy your last camel trek adventure before leaving the desert. Drive to Boumalne Dades via Rissani, Erfoud, and Todgha Gorges. If today is Tuesday or Thursday, or Sunday, you will get to visit a traditional market in Rissani to discover a part of the southern Moroccan culture. Enjoy a walk along the Todra River, under the Todgha Canyon in Tinghir. Arrive at Boumalne Dades in the evening. Before going to your accommodation here, you will drive along the Dades Valley to a place, where you can see the marvelous rock formations, known as the monkey fingers.
