TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO FEZ VIA SAHARA

3 Days / 2 Night

3 days Marrakech to Fes via Sahara desert: This trip offers a great introduction to Morocco: you will experience vibrant Marrakech, visit small Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains and have time to make Camel Trek. Imagine the twisting alleyways of an ancient medina, a crowded souk full of colourful pottery and carpets or the sound of a muezzin calling to prayer drifting across an orange plantation. Morocco offers all this and more – complete with a stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

This short adventure provides a fabulous introduction to these exciting highlights. You visit the old walled Village Rissani and Ouarzazate and more out-of-the way places that few tourists get to see – such as the remote villages of the Berbers, hidden away in the folds of the Atlas Mountains. This trip offers a real insight into an enthralling and beautiful country
