5 Days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech via Merzouga Desert

The city of Fes will be visited on the second day of our 5-day Casablanca to Marrakech Tour. A local guide will accompany us and discuss the history of Fes. We will begin by visiting the Royal Palace, commonly known as Dar al-Makhzen. The Mellah, Morocco’s oldest Jewish quarter, will be our next stop (1438). It’s in Fes El Jdid, in the old territory of Sultan’s Syrian archers. We’ll also visit Borj Nord to obtain a bird’s-eye perspective of the city. We’ll then visit the tanneries and take a tour of the historic Medina. In addition, we will visit the universities of Al Quaraouiyine and Al Bouaanania. By the end of the day, we’ll head back to your hotel/Riad.

On day 3 of our tour, we will visit Merzouga, which is the highlight of all of our Morocco excursions. Before that, we’ll make a few stops along the way. First and foremost, we will visit Ifrane, Morocco’s cleanest city. We’ll make a visit to see the Atlas lion statue, which was created by a German prisoner in exchange for his freedom during WWII. Then, we’ll go to Azrou to visit the Barbary macaques in the Cedar forest. You will be able to feed them and photograph them. Later, we’ll traverse the High Atlas Mountains to reach the Ziz Valley. Oued Ziz travels across a vast swath of palm palms. Later in the day, we’ll arrive in Merzouga, Sahara desert. Your camels will be waiting for you, ready to transport you through the Merzouga desert to your camp, where you will dine, listen to Berber music, and spend the night.

On this day of our Casablanca to Marrakech Tour, it is advised that you get up early in the morning to watch a beautiful sunrise. After breakfast, you will return the camels to the starting point. Your driver will be ready to take you to your destination. We’ll drive to Rissani City, where you may explore its Souk (market) and appreciate its art. This Souk is mostly crowded on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. Later, we pass through the oasis of Tafilalt, where we can see a historic irrigation system. After that, we’ll have lunch in Tinjdad. We go on to the spectacular Todgha Gorges canyons. They are 1300 meters high and stretch out across 30 kilometers at the foot of the Great Atlas Mountains. By the end of the day, we will go to the Dades gorges to visit the monkey toes rock formation. Dades is where you’ll spend the night.

On the last day of our tour, we travel through the country of the roses and hundreds of Kasbahs. We’ll arrive at Ouarzazate, Morocco’s film capital. First, we’ll stop to photograph Taourirt Kasbah before continuing to the Atlas studio. Following that, we will have the opportunity to see Ait Benhaddou’s Kasbah, which is one of the most well-known tourist locations in Southern Morocco. It’s a fortified village made up of historic homes atop a hill in the middle of a valley. In the afternoon, we go to Marrakesh through the Tichka Passes. If you’re interested, we’ll stop for some panoramic photos and a visit to the Argan oil co-operative. Finally, we arrive in Marrakech and transport you to the airport or your hotel.
