Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Merzouga Desert

Along the way, you’ll cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in Morocco, with plenty of chances to stop for photos and enjoy the sweeping mountain views.

Around midday, you’ll visit the famous ksar of Ait Ben Haddou a stunning ancient village made of mudbrick, known for its unique architecture and as a backdrop to many Hollywood films. After a short walk through its narrow alleys and a climb to the top for panoramic views, you’ll continue your drive through Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa.”

As the landscapes shift, you’ll pass through the Draa Valley, filled with palm groves and small Berber villages. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Merzouga, right at the edge of the vast Sahara Desert. Here, your camel guide will be waiting to lead you on a camel trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. You’ll ride into the heart of the desert as the sun begins to set an unforgettable sight.

At the desert camp, you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and a warm dinner. Spend the night in a private tent, with the option of a luxury camp, and enjoy traditional Berber music around the campfire under a sky full of stars.

Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the dunes—it’s a peaceful and magical moment you won’t want to miss. After breakfast at the camp, you’ll return to Merzouga by camel or 4×4, then begin the long drive north toward Fes.

The journey takes you through the beautiful Ziz Valley, known for its dramatic gorges and endless palm trees. As you continue, the desert scenery gradually gives way to the forests and mountains of the Middle Atlas. You’ll pass through Midelt, a town nestled between the High and Middle Atlas ranges, where you’ll stop for lunch.

Things To Know before you Go!

Marrakech to Fes desert tour 2 days
  • Weather & Clothing: Morocco has a diverse climate. Pack layers! The desert can be very hot during the day and chilly at night. In cities like Marrakech and Fes, light clothing works well, but modest attire is appreciated, especially in rural or religious areas. A scarf or shawl can be useful for sun protection or visiting religious sites.

  • Cultural Etiquette: Moroccan culture is warm and welcoming, but conservative. Greetings are important, and it’s polite to ask before taking someone’s photo. Public displays of affection should be minimal. Learning a few words in Arabic or French (like shukran for thank you) goes a long way.

  • Currency & Payments: The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is the local currency. Cash is king in many places, especially in small towns and markets. ATMs are widely available in cities. Tipping is customary and appreciated usually 5–10% in restaurants and a few dirhams for local guides or drivers.

  • Health & Safety: Morocco is generally safe for travelers, especially with a local guide. Drink bottled water and bring sunscreen, a hat, and hand sanitizer. No vaccines are required, but it’s smart to carry basic medications. Be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.

  • Transport & Roads: Moroccan roads are in good condition, but long travel days are common due to the country’s size and mountainous terrain. Your private driver/guide will make stops along the way for rest and sightseeing, but be prepared for stretches of 3–5 hours on the road.

  • Connectivity & Communication: Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels and many cafes, though speeds can vary. If you want to stay connected, consider buying a local SIM card at the airport or in major cities it’s affordable and easy to set up.

  • Desert Experience Essentials: If your tour includes a desert overnight, pack a small bag with essentials like toiletries, flashlight, and a warm jacket. You’ll leave your main luggage with the driver while you enjoy camel trekking and the Sahara camp experience.

  • Shopping & Souvenirs: Morocco is a shopper’s paradise! From carpets to pottery and argan oil to spices there’s so much to choose from. Haggling is expected in souks, so have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to walk away if the price doesn’t feel right.

  • Photography: You’ll want your camera ready at all times, but be respectful when photographing people, especially in rural areas or markets. Always ask first. The golden hour in the desert is a dream for photos.

  • Flexibility Is Key: While the tour is planned with care, Morocco’s charm often lies in the unexpected maybe it’s a spontaneous tea invitation or a surprise festival in town. Embrace the journey with an open heart, and it’ll be unforgettable.

What Travelers Say About Morocco Organized Tours?

2 Day Morocco itinerary
  • I still can’t believe how much we experienced in just two days! The drive from Marrakech to the desert was filled with stunning scenery mountains, kasbahs, valleys it was nonstop beauty. Riding camels into the dunes at sunset was magical, and the desert camp was even better than expected: clean, cozy, and full of heart. Youssef took care of every detail, and his warmth and professionalism made the trip extra special. I only wish we had more time. Don’t hesitate this is a must-do!

  • We booked the 2-day desert tour with Youssef and it was hands down the best part of our time in Morocco. From the first pickup in Marrakech to our drop-off in Fes, everything was smooth and well-organized. The landscapes were jaw-dropping, and the cultural stops were really interesting. The camel ride into the Sahara was a dream come true, and sleeping under the stars in the desert was something I’ll never forget. Thank you, Youssef, for an incredible and personal experience!
