Ouarzazate to Fes Desert tour 3 Days

Your 3 Days tour from Ouarzazate to Fes begins in Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Africa” for its famous film studios and historic kasbahs. After breakfast, you’ll travel to the Skoura Oasis, a beautiful palm grove that is home to the 17th-century Kasbah Amridil, one of Morocco’s best-preserved fortresses. The route continues through the fragrant Valley of Roses and the dramatic landscapes of the Dades Valley, passing traditional Berber villages, ancient kasbahs, and winding mountain roads carved into the cliffs.

The next stop is the spectacular Todra Gorges, where towering cliffs rise more than 300 meters to form one of Morocco’s most impressive natural wonders. After time for photos and a short walk, the journey carries on through Erfoud, a town famous for its fossil workshops, before reaching Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

Here, your camel awaits to take you on a magical trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset. As the golden sands glow in the fading light, you’ll witness the unforgettable beauty of the Sahara. The evening is spent in a luxury desert camp, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, live Berber drumming by the fire, and a peaceful night under the star-filled desert sky.
