Travel from Marrakech to Fes on a four-day private journey with three accommodation nights, the southern valleys and an extra exploration day around Erg Chebbi.
Connect Marrakech and Fes on a private four-day route through the High Atlas and the Merzouga desert region. The journey combines kasbah architecture, the Dades Valley, Todra Gorge and the landscapes of Erg Chebbi.
After the first overnight stop in Dades, continue toward Merzouga and spend additional time around the dunes and Khamlia. The final stage crosses the Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas toward Fes. This one-way itinerary suits travellers continuing their holiday in the north; it does not return to Marrakech.
DESCRIPTION – Marrakech to Fes: 4-Day Private Desert Trip
The private four-day route links Marrakech with Fes through the High Atlas, the southern valleys and the Merzouga region. A Dades overnight divides the first approach, and the additional desert day allows time around Erg Chebbi and Khamlia before continuing north.
The included camel experience and selected camp arrangement form the desert stage. Accommodation category, room or tent configuration and the local visit sequence follow the booked option, while the driver-guide coordinates the road journey and practical stops.
This is a one-way trip ending in Fes. The final Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas transfer needs a flexible arrival evening, with your own city stay arranged from that point. Half-board accommodation is included for three nights; lunches, drinks and the Ait Ben Haddou local guide are separate.

It is a one-way itinerary, so arrange your next stay in Fes and keep the final arrival evening flexible. The extra time around Erg Chebbi and Khamlia is part of this specific programme.

Itinerary for Marrakech to Fes: 4-Day Private Desert Trip
Travel by private vehicle from Marrakech across the High Atlas towards Ait Ben Haddou. The ksar stop adds a walking visit to the mountain-road stage, with time to look at its earthen architecture and valley position. Continue through the Skoura and Rose Valley areas towards Dades. The driver-guide coordinates the day's route and practical stops, while the local guide at Ait Ben Haddou remains a separate service. The first overnight is in the Dades area, with dinner and breakfast under the selected accommodation arrangement. Keep comfortable shoes and water ready for the visits.
Leave Dades for Todra Gorge, where the landscape opens into high rock walls and paths beside the gorge setting. Continue through the Erfoud area towards Merzouga, allowing the road stage and stops to build towards the desert portion of the journey. At Erg Chebbi, follow the confirmed arrangements for the included camel experience and the camp approach. A small overnight bag makes this stage easier to manage. The selected accommodation option determines the tent category and facilities; lunches, drinks and activities outside the programme are separate.
Stay in the Merzouga region for an additional desert day rather than leaving immediately after the first night. The proposed visits focus on the Erg Chebbi surroundings and Khamlia, creating time to see the wider setting of the dunes and local settlements. The programme is coordinated with the booked accommodation and the pace of the party. Optional motorised activities are separate from the included itinerary and can be discussed without replacing the day's agreed visits. Return to the selected Merzouga-area accommodation for the third overnight before the northbound road stage.
Travel from the Merzouga region through the Ziz Valley towards the Middle Atlas. The route changes from desert and oasis scenery to mountain country before the arrival in Fes, with meal and comfort breaks along the way. This is a substantial travelling day, so keep essentials in a day bag. The tour finishes in Fes at the agreed drop-off point. Arrange your own onward city stay around that arrival, and leave the evening flexible rather than booking a closely timed activity. Lunches and drinks during the journey remain separate from the included half-board accommodation.
