Around 8:00 AM, a driver/guide from Morocco Top Travel will come to your Riad/Hotel in Marrakech to accompany you to the departure pick-up location. Our 4-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes will then begin, heading towards Dades Valley.

Next, we will continue our Sahara desert trip and reach the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a place recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will have the chance to admire the cultural richness and beautiful landscapes of this Kasbah. It is famous for being featured in many well-known films such as “Gladiator,” “Obelix,” “The Mummy,” “The Jewel of the Nile,” and “Sahara” with Penélope Cruz. You will also have some free time for lunch in town (optional).

Our 4-day Marrakech to Fes desert trip will then take us to Ouarzazate, known as “The gate of the Sahara & Hollywood of Africa.” Afterward, we will continue through the captivating Skoura oasis palm groves, known as the Roses Valley. Here, you can witness over 700,000 palm trees and numerous kasbahs built in the surrounding area. The valley is famous for cultivating damascene roses used in cosmetic products like valuable rosewater. Every year in May, the Rose Festival takes place in this valley.
