Fes to Marrakech by the Sahara, in your own car, with luxury stays.
Three days from Fes to Marrakech by way of the Sahara, just you and your driver-guide. Cross the Middle Atlas and its cedar forest, ride a camel into Erg Chebbi for the sunset and sleep in a luxury desert camp, walk beneath the Todra Gorge, see the "Monkey Fingers" of the Dades, and cross the High Atlas by Aït Ben Haddou to Marrakech.
Suggested programme; your driver adapts it to you.
Pick-up at your riad or hotel in Fes at the time you choose: 07:00, 08:00 or 09:00 (07:00 or 08:00 recommended). Ifrane, then the cedar forest of the Middle Atlas and its macaques. Lunch on the way, a viewpoint over the palm groves of the Ziz Valley, and Merzouga in the late afternoon. Everyone rides their own camel to the camp, with a stop on a high dune for the sunset. Drums, stories and stars at the camp.
Sunrise over the dunes, breakfast, then back to Merzouga by camel or 4x4. Through Rissani and Erfoud (on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday, the traditional market of Rissani), then a walk along the river beneath the Todra Gorge. In the afternoon, a drive up the Dades Valley to see the "Monkey Fingers" rocks.
After breakfast, the Valley of the Roses and Ouarzazate, where you can visit the Atlas Film Studios or just take photos outside. Aït Ben Haddou, 15 km further, with a local guide, then lunch. Over the High Atlas by the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon.
