Enjoy an 8 Days Desert tour from Fes to Marrakech to explore many beautiful places. Our trip will start from Fez to the Sahara desert in the south of Morocco, and we will finish in the red city of Morocco, which is Marrakech.
Visit Fez; it is a charming city for tourists because it is an ancient city surrounded by hills and forests, making it one of the most beautiful places in the area, and it has original Moroccan-style architecture that has not been influenced by any modern architecture. In addition to its narrow streets, the city is also characterized by mosaic art and arched entrances, beautiful ironworks as well as a rich historical heritage, as it is possible to visit medieval Roman ruins alongside the ruins of an empire dating back to the third century.
We will explore the Atlas Mountains with their magnificent traditional buildings, ride a camel in the Sahara desert of Erg Chebbi to watch the magnificent sunset, and you will have a good night’s sleep in a clear starry sky desert camp (Berber tent). We will see two wonderful valleys, the Rose Valley and the Dades Valley, then the Todra Canyon, and then visit the old kasbah of Aït ben Haddou, which has an ancient history and is ranked as a UNESCO world heritage site.
