5 Days Tour From Tangier To Marrakech

We will pick you up from your Tangier accommodation or the airport on the first day of your 5 Days tour from Tangier to Marrakech. Also referred to as "the bride of the North." The city is situated where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel.

Cross the unspoiled Rif mountains, which offer an outstanding combination of the blue sea and the mountains. We arrive in Tetouan, a jewel town with a heavy Spanish influence and a gorgeous medina.

In the afternoon, we get to the beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen. In Chefchaouen, you'll have the chance to wander around this fabulous town with its medina adorned with a meld of white and blue buildings and creative shops. In addition, you'll walk through the charming square of Uta el-Hammam. Have dinner at the hotel where you will be staying tonight.

Rise and shine with such a delicious breakfast in Chaouen. We'll continue our 5 Days desert tour from Tangier to Marrakech by passing the Rif mountains via the beautiful city of Ouazzane to our first location today, the well-restored Roman ruins, Volubilis.

Volubilis is a world heritage site from the 3rd century BC that lies over floating with generations, starting with the Christians to the Romans and ending with the Idrisi dynasty. We will take you on a guided tour with our guide to learn more about this location.

Following that, you'll visit the imperial city of Meknes, where you will explore the magnificent gate of El Mansour. Also, we'll take you to the adorable plaza of Lehdim, allowing you to wander the medieval medina with its architectural style. Finally, we'll head to Morocco's scientific capital, Fes, where you'll have a tasty dinner and sleep overnight.

After breakfast, we drive south via Imozzer to Ifrane. The city is known for its cold weather, snow, and alpine-style architecture. It's no surprise that is called Morocco's Switzerland. Continue our 5 Days desert tour from Tangier to the Cedar Forest, where we will see the Barbary macaques. Feel free to feed them and capture lovely pictures as you roam through the forest.

Later, we head to Midlet, where we will have lunch. Move through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and along the Ziz valley, stopping for panoramic views. Arrive in Erfoud, which is famous for its palm and fossils. In the afternoon, we will get to the Merzouga Sahara Desert, where you will ride camels and traverse the Erg Chebbi dunes.

During your epic camel trek, you'll stop and rise to a top dune to watch a memorable sunset. Proceed to the camp, a mix of traditional nomad tents and luxurious accommodations. You will enjoy the music of the Berber drums while dancing around the campfire under the vast open sky of stars. Have a delicious dinner and overnight in the middle of the dunes in the desert camp.

We rise and shine with another splendid day to experience such an uncanny sun rising to warm our skin and have breakfast. After witnessing this natural wonder, we will leave the astounding Merzouga and drive to Rissani town, the ancient capital of Tafilalet.

Rissani continues to be an important regional trading center, with a bustling market on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Following a stroll through Rissani market, we will proceed to Erfoud, where we will visit one of the fossilized marble workshops.

We'll drive through the palm groves of Touroug and Tinjdad until we arrive at one of our favorite destinations in Morocco, Todra Gorges. Those Gorges are one of the most impressive canyons in the world and are gorgeously carved between the hills by the Dades River.

You will relish a short walk around the gorges among locals and their pack animals. Lastly, we'll head to the Dades Gorges for a traditional dinner and an overnight stay at a local riad.

After breakfast on the last day of our 5 Days desert tour from Tangier to Marrakech, you will explore the captivating Dades. Stop by some nomad caves along the way. After that, we'll drive through the beautiful Valley of Roses, which is covered in pink and red roses and will make you want to stop without taking your eyes off the scenery. 

In addition, you will visit some co-operatives run by local women in Kalaat Mgouna. Here, you'll see the process of rose water extracted for esthetic and medical purposes. Drive to the "Gate to the Desert," the city of Ouarzazate. This latter is renowned as the African Hollywood. We'll explore its Atlas studios, one of the largest in the world. Have lunch at a Berber guest house in Ouarzazate.

After that, not far from the city, you will explore Morocco's most visited place, The Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. This UNESCO World Heritage Kasbah has piqued the interest of universal producers who have used it in films and TV shows such as "Game of Thrones," "The Mummy," and others.

After a calm stay, we'll pass through the highest mountain pass in North Africa, the Tizi n'Tichka, with an altitude of 2,260m, offering impressive views of the high Atlas Mountains. We'll reach Marrakech in the evening and drop you off at the airport or your accommodation. We end this 5 Days desert tour from Tangier to Marrakech.
