Overview

You will travel for the three-days in desert trip that connects Marrakech and Fes.
This is one of the most popular desert excursions from Marrakech and it allows you to explore a significant portion of the south of Morocco, beginning in the ochre city of Marrakech, crossing the beautiful scenery on the winding roads of the high atlas mountains and perched berber villages blending with the mountains, to the infamous kasbahs of Ait benhaddou fortified village and Ouarzazate with its cinematic attractions.
Travel deep into the desert on camels to spend the night in a luxurious tent. Enjoy a starry night under a clear and quiet sky, and after a great meal, spend quality time with the staff while listening to music around the fire.
