Morocco is a magical place that might soon become one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Hence, if you wish to pass through some of the best areas of Morocco in two days, this 2 days Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour is just the package for you. This tour through magical scapes runs from the city of Fes to the Saharan sand dunes and ends at the souk of Marrakech. Let’s discover this interesting voyage!
Day 1: Fes to Desert
You will begin your adventure in the early hours of the morning, from the city of Fes, one of the oldest and most stunning cities in Morocco. After a beverage and thank you for a short breakfast, you will meet with your guide, and the trail shall begin. The long but scenic distance from Fes to the Sahara Desert itself is not boring. Your departure from Fes will take you through lush hills and tiny villages that dot the way as you pass through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where the coolness and tall trees combine to make a peaceful.
Stop at Ifrane:
On the way is your first stop in town: Ifrane. Recognized as “Little Switzerland” thanks to its beautiful scenery and Euro-style buildings, Ifrane is a nice place to stretch out and take some photos. The fresh air is also lovely here, and you might even run into a couple of squirrels!
Stop at the Ziz Valley:
While making your way forward, the landscape changes more. The green hills give way to warm, golden colors very much like the desert. You will pass through the Ziz Valley, known for its large palm trees and oasis. The area looks entirely different from the mountains you came through, but it is equally beautiful. You will have the chance to stop and view it.
The camel riding included in the tour is really a great experience, as besides watching you will get to feel it. This tour offers a lot, with many excursions enjoyed through the dunes of Merzouga. Along the golden dunes, you will drive against your camp. Circumstances set by those wide golden dunes will let you touch the wind that sweeps through that never-ending sea of sand while it will touch you back within the mesmerizing range of stillness that the desert provides.
I highly will suggest joining around the campfire when night sets in to dine Moroccan style and share stories while looking upon the clear starry night. This is one of the reasons why the tour is great: to experience the incredible stars in the desert!
Day 2: Desert to Marrakech
After having your breakfast, you will rise early in order to witness how magnificently the sun rises in the Sahara Desert. The most incredible thing is when sunlight changes the colors of sand. You have time to take some beautiful pictures, as you ride back to the village of Merzouga.
Next, continue to Ouarzazate:
From the desert, you will now head to Ouarzazate, known as “La porte du Sahara,” or the “Gateway to the Sahara.” Oftentimes, it is visiting point and is famous for movie studios and beautiful kasbahs (fortresses) standing. The drive to Ouarzazate is dotted with spectacular views and frequent stops to enjoy the great landscapes of rocky hills and valleys. The Todgha gorge is a huge canyon in the mountain with high cliffs, which gives you a feeling of insignificance. You bet that photo opportunities will abound here!
Reaching Marrakech:
After visiting Ouarzazate, you will head towards Marrakech, one of the famous cities in Morocco. Marrakech is filled with history, color, and energy to beheading towards the city. Upon arrival in Marrakech, your tour comes to an end. You might like to take a few hours to rest and discover the city. Marrakech is known for its vibrant marketplaces (souks) where you could find anything from spices to exquisite handmade crafts. You might be interested in visiting the historic Koutoubia Mosque and Majorelle Garden or enjoy an excellent dinner in some of its eateries.
