Itinerary

Day-by-day itinerary

Day1

Marrakech – High Atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

Tras la recogida en tu alojamiento en Marrakech, nos dirigimos hacia el imponente Alto Atlas. Cruzaremos el puerto de montaña de Tizi n’Tichka, el más alto del norte de África, con paradas para capturar las vistas panorámicas.

Nuestro primer gran destino es la famosa Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad y escenario de películas como Gladiator. Tras el almuerzo en un restaurante con vistas, continuaremos por la llamada Ruta de las Mil Kasbahshasta llegar al Valle del Dadès, famoso por sus espectaculares gargantas. Pasaremos la noche en un hotel acogedor en esta región.

Accommodation: Night in Dades — Riad Gabsi or similar

Day2

Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Erfoud – Merzouga

La mañana nos depara uno de los paisajes más impresionantes: las Gargantas del Todra, donde las paredes de roca se elevan hasta 300 metros a ambos lados del río. Después de un paseo y almuerzo en la zona, pondremos rumbo al desierto. El paisaje irá transformándose hasta dar la bienvenida a las primeras dunas de Merzouga.

Aquí, cambiarás el coche por un noble camello para emprender un paseo al atardecer que te adentrará en el corazón de Erg Chebbi. La noche te espera en un campamento de haimas de lujo, donde disfrutarás de una cena bereber tradicional bajo un manto infinito de estrellas, acompañado del ritmo de tambores.

Accommodation: Night in Merzouga — Tawada Camp or similar

Day3

Nomad Life in the Merzouga Desert

Despertar en el Sáhara es una experiencia única. Podrás subir a la duna más alta para ver el amanecer antes de desayunar en el campamento. Regresarás a Merzouga para comenzar un tour privado en 4×4 por los alrededores.

Visitaremos el oasis y el lago Dayet Srji (si la temporada lo permite), las minas de fósiles negros, y el pueblo de Khamlia, conocido por su comunidad y música gnawa. La experiencia culmina con una visita y una taza de té en una jaima de una familia nómada. La tarde es libre para relajarse o realizar actividades opcionales antes de pernoctar en un cómodo hotel/riad en Merzouga.

Accommodation: Night in Merzouga — Dar Hassan or similar

Day4

Merzouga - Ziz Valley - Azrou - Ifran - Fez

Hoy dejamos el desierto con rumbo norte. Pararemos en Rissani, antiguo punto de partida de las caravanas, para visitar su bullicioso zoco (si coincide con día de mercado). Atravesaremos el inmenso Palmeral del Valle del Ziz y ascenderemos hacia Midelt, en las estribaciones del Atlas Medio, donde almorzaremos.

Por la tarde, el paisaje cambiará radicalmente al pasar por el bosque de cedros de Azrou (con suerte, veremos monos) y la ciudad alpina de Ifrán, conocida como “la Suiza de Marruecos”. La llegada a Fez, la más antigua de las Ciudades Imperiales, será al caer la tarde. Pernoctarás en un riad tradicional en el corazón de su medina.

Accommodation: Night in Fes — Plais Houyam or similar

Day5

Full Guided Visit to the Medina of Fez

Today you immerse yourself in the most fascinating historical and cultural labyrinth in the Arab world. With an official local guide you explore the Fez el-Bali medina, a World Heritage Site. You walk its timeless streets, visit the emblematic Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas, watch from a terrace the spectacular work at the traditional Chouwara tanneries and see the University of Al-Qarawiyyin, considered the oldest continuously operating university in the world. Lunch is at a typical restaurant inside the medina. The afternoon is free to explore on your own or shop before your last night in Fez.

Accommodation: Night in Fes — Plais Houyam or similar

Day6

Fez – Departure Transfer

Después del desayuno en el riad, dispondrás de tiempo libre para un último paseo o para realizar aquellas compras pendientes. Según tu horario de salida, te llevaremos al aeropuerto de Fez o a la estación de tren, poniendo fin a esta inolvidable travesía por el alma de Marruecos.

Please note: the hotels listed are mid-range. If you would like to upgrade to a luxury option, just get in touch. Rates may vary in high season and according to the accommodation you choose.

Frequently asked questions

About this tour

Sí. Terminar en Fez es ideal si vuelas de regreso desde el aeropuerto de Fez-Saís o continúas hacia el norte (Chefchaouen, Tánger). Si necesitas volver a Marrakech, podemos añadir el traslado o un vuelo interno; solo indícalo al reservar.

El primer día, de Marrakech al Valle del Dades por el puerto de Tizi n’Tichka y Ait Ben Haddou, es el más largo: unas 7-8 horas con paradas panorámicas y para comer. El resto de jornadas son más cortas y variadas.

No es obligatorio. Si prefieres no montar en camello por comodidad o movilidad, te llevamos al campamento en 4×4 sin coste adicional; avísanos con antelación.

Dedicamos prácticamente un día completo (Día 5) a Fez el-Bali con guía oficial local: madrasas, las curtidurías Chouara y la universidad de Al-Qarawiyyin, con tiempo libre por la tarde en los zocos.

Sí. Seis días equilibran bien el cruce del Atlas, dos noches en la zona del desierto y una jornada completa en Fez, evitando trayectos demasiado largos en un solo día.

Por supuesto. El mismo itinerario funciona de Fez a Marrakech; adaptamos alojamientos y horarios de recogida a tu punto de inicio. Indícanoslo al reservar.

What our travellers say

The best experience from start to finish!

We travelled as a family with Marruecos Tours from 28 July to 2 August and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Communication with Mohammed was excellent and our guide Said was attentive, friendly and fun throughout. He took us to places only locals know. Thoroughly recommended.

Marrocos superou minhas expectativas

We would like to thank Youssef of Marrocos Tours for the excellent private tour of Morocco. It was an unforgettable experience, with a very well planned itinerary, great excursions and service that was always attentive and professional. We recommend Youssef to anyone who wants to see Morocco calmly and safely.

The Perfect Family Trip to Morocco

We recently returned from an incredible 12-day tour from Casablanca with our two children, and booking with Agencia Marruecos Tours was the best decision we made. Our driver and guide, Hassan, didn't just drive us from place to place — he became part of our family's story. The overnight desert camp in Merzouga was pure magic for all of us.

A trip to northern Morocco

It was our first time with them and the result was very good. They adapted to our needs throughout and looked after us constantly. Without doubt an agency worth recommending. The trip through northern Morocco was a great success. Thank you for your work.

From Fes to Marrakech

The three-day route from Fes to Marrakech made our trip to Morocco unforgettable. Our guide Said, charming and an excellent driver, brought deep knowledge of Amazigh culture and customs. The route is well organised, with stops at beautiful and interesting places.

They were very kind from the very start of the tour. Our guide Said was extremely patient; with him we discovered not only spectacular places and incredible views, but Moroccan culture too.

An amazing experience

I finally fulfilled a lifelong ambition of mine to go to Morocco. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable experiences of my life! The nine days spent travelling were filled with such breathtaking scenery. My favourite part was spending the night in a tent in the Sahara Desert and riding camels around the desert.

Highly recommended

An excellent personalised experience, helped along by Idir’s passion for his country and its customs — and, despite his youth, his knowledge of every corner of Morocco.
