4 Dias: Fès, Merzouga, Dades, Ouarzazate, Marrakech.
The vastness, the silence, the dunes, the lakes, the small oases, the nomads, the rivers, the overwhelming landscapes... the desert holds many surprises. The desert beckons; it has a special attraction. To fully enjoy it, you have to delve into it, lose yourself on the most secondary roads, or even in places with no defined route. For this, a 4x4 is the ideal vehicle. All you have to do is experience your own private Rally and discover what lies within the vastness of the sand.
Itinerary:
DAY 1:
FEZ-ERFOUD-MERZOUGA
After breakfast, we'll head toward the desert, passing through the cedar forest, the MIDELT Pass, the ERRACHIDIA Reservoir, the magnificent panorama of the ZIZ Valley, and the town of ERFOUD (the gateway to the desert). We'll watch the sunset from the summit of BORJ d'EST, which offers a wonderful view of the town of ERFOUD. We'll then continue along the night track to reach the Erg Chebbi Dunes.
Accommodation at the Kasbah Hotel, Riad or Haimas (dinner and breakfast). https://www.merzougayasminahotel.com/
DAY 2: MERZOUGA - ERG CHEBBI - NOMADS - DESERT.
After breakfast, we'll tour the tracks used in the Paris-Dakar Rally in a 4x4. We'll visit desert nomads for tea and see the oasis where films such as "Sahara" were filmed. We'll visit the village of Khamlia, named after the slave trade brought from Sudan, and we'll tour Erg Chebbi. After lunch, we'll head to the home of a Berber family, where you'll enjoy typical traditional food, as well as delicious Al Madfouna (Berber pizza). After lunch, we'll head back to the hotel for a rest and a quad bike ride through the dunes.
In the afternoon, the camels will be waiting for us to enter the desert and contemplate an unforgettable sunset. The night will be special, as you will have the opportunity to sleep in a tent surrounded by dunes, just like the Berbers do. You will also enjoy a traditional dinner, followed by live drum music by the bonfire and, if you're lucky, a starry sky.

DAY 3: MERZOUGA - DADES VALLEY
After breakfast, this day's paths and trails will take you along the caravan trails of yesteryear toward the Dades Valley and Marrakech, enjoying the scenery and admiring the power of nature. A visit to the Toudra Gorges is quite the opposite: hiking and taking beautiful panoramic photos; the valley and canyons are breathtaking. Later, we head further west to the Dades Valley, overnight and having dinner.

DAY 4: DADES VALLEY - OUARZAZATE - MARRAKECH
After breakfast, travel to Marrakech via the Taouirt kasbahs and Ait Ben Haddou. Hidden in the High Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou is one of the most spectacular fortresses in southern Morocco, which you will visit. It is emblematic because it has been the site of several international films such as Oblix, Gladiator, and Sahara. We then continue to Marrakech via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260 m), which offers spectacular panoramic views in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. Overnight stay in a riad in Marrakech.
The itineraries are flexible and can be modified by prior arrangement, depending on your requirements and the places you wish to visit.
