Day 1

Marrakech, Aït Benhaddou, Ouarzazate, Skoura and Dades Gorges

Explore the Sahara and northern Morocco on our 4-day tour from Marrakech with Local Morocco Tours, your private tour company. Our driver will collect you from your hotel or riad, then we cross the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way you will visit the famous parts of the Aït Benhaddou kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After the walking tour, we visit some of the film studios in Ouarzazate and a smaller kasbah, before continuing through Skoura to the Dades Valley, where you spend the night in a kasbah with dinner included. Discover Morocco in just 4 days with Local Morocco Tours, from Marrakech to Chefchaouen and everything in between.

Day 2

Dades Gorges, Todra Gorge, Tinjdad, Erfoud and Merzouga

Today we head to Tinghir and explore the nearby Todra Gorges, Morocco's largest canyon and a popular spot for rock climbers. We then spend the rest of the morning admiring the spectacular Dades Valley. After lunch, we continue our journey by visiting the fossil workshops in Erfoud, and then drive to Merzouga for a Sahara desert expedition. Camels carry you across the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes; you enjoy a traditional Berber meal, spend the night in nomad Berber tents and stargaze from the high dunes. This is the highlight of our 4-day journey from Marrakech to Chefchaouen via the Sahara, run privately by Local Morocco Tours.

Day 3

Merzouga, Rissani, Ifrane and Fes

In Merzouga today, we get up early to catch the breathtaking sunrise over the Sahara. The camels then carry you back to the village of Merzouga for breakfast. Before continuing through Erfoud and into the Atlas Mountains, we stop at Rissani and its souk. In the Atlas, we visit Midelt, the Azrou cedar forest and the Ifrane ski resort. We then continue on to Fes, where you check in to a traditional riad for the night.

Day 4

Fes and Chefchaouen (optional onward transfer to Tangier, Casablanca, Fes or Marrakech)

Today you have a half-day guided tour of the medina in Fes, with a local guide to help you discover its great monuments. We then drive via Ouazzane up into the Rif Mountains, where you will admire the blue-and-white medina of Chefchaouen. The tour ends here.
