On the first day of your Trip from Fes, we will meet you at the airport or at your riad. (Optional) Enjoy a full-day sightseeing tour of Fes, Morocco’s oldest of four “Imperial Cities.” The medieval city of Fes El Bali, also known as “Old Fes,” has been preserved in its entirety. You can visit the exotic Bonania Medersas, the Medina, and the Qaraouine Mosque during your tour of this part of town, where you can take photos of the wonderful courtyard from the main gate as well as the famous souks. In the afternoon, you can go to Fes El Jdid, also known as “New Fes.” The Riad is where we spend the night.

You will have time to explore its winding lanes and narrow alleys, which are home to a plethora of souks offering cuisine and artisanal works. Get back to Fes for the night at your riad.

After breakfast, you can choose your own desert trip experience; perhaps a refreshing dip in the hotel swimming pool, or perhaps a shopping trip to the nearby villages of Merzouga. There are only fifty kilometers from the Algerian border, which boasts Morocco’s largest underground natural reservoir. Then we will visit the tiny Khamlia, known as the village of the black people because descendants of slaves taken from Africa inhabit it. At dusk, your camel will be waiting to whisk you away into the glorious sunset for an unforgettable 90-minute camel trek through the shifting Sahara desert sands before arriving at a traditional Berber desert encampment where you will spend the night in a tent surrounded by mountainous dunes. Your guide will prepare an authentic Moroccan meal for you while you relax and enjoy the stars, which are so numerous and bright that you feel you could reach out and touch them, and listen to the soft sounds of traditional Berber music. A truly unforgettable day will be spent in the Sahara Desert.

An early start, as you are awoken to witness the splendor of the sun rising over the dunes in the amazing Sahara desert. then you will ride your camel gently back to your hotel for breakfast, during which you will notice the shifting and changing of the shadows cast by the dunes, lengthening and shrinking as the day progresses.

You can also visit the wonderful workshops where men prepare the fossils by carefully removing them from the rocks and cleaning them up.

The journey continues through the 300-meter-deep canyon of the Todra Gorges, which cut through the easternmost tip of the High Atlas Mountains, close to the village of Tinghir, where you will have the opportunity to do some relaxed hiking. The Tinghir and Todra Gorges are the highest and narrowest in Morocco, as well as the most beautiful, according to some. Dinner will be served, and you will spend the night peacefully deep within the Todra Gorge.

After a hearty breakfast, Fes Desert Trips will take you to the charming Dades Valley, cut deep through banded sandstones and limestone, over an off-road trail past cave dwellings where a few of the world’s last troglodytes still live. Then it is on to the lovely Berber town of Kelaat M’Gouna, which will be celebrating the annual Festival of the Roses if you arrive in May. This allows the people of the region to get together and trade many products made from roses, including the famous rose water, which you will be able to try to purchase if you wish. The lovely aroma of this scent will linger on your clothes and skin long after you have left this charming place, and when used on one’s bed linen, it can be a pleasure to freshen up one’s night chamber.

Following that, you will travel to Skoura, a fertile oasis surrounded by vast groves of palm trees with breathtaking views of the mighty Atlas Mountains. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Taourirt’s Kasbah, a remarkably preserved and quite lovely place exhibiting the best of traditional Moroccan architecture and beloved by both tourists and locals alike, will be your next stop.

These are the most well-known and largest film studios on the African continent. You can go to the studio museum to see props and other items from films like Babel, The Mummy, and Hideous Kinky, as well as the popular TV show Game of Thrones, which were all made here.
