Your 5 day tour from Tangier begins in Tangier, where you’ll be welcomed at the airport, port, or your accommodation by your local driver-guide. From here, head south toward the Rif Mountains, enjoying scenic views as the landscape gradually changes.
By midday, arrive in Chefchaouen, the famous blue city tucked between green hills. After checking into your riad or hotel, enjoy free time to explore the medina at your own pace. Stroll through narrow blue alleys, browse local handicraft shops, or relax in a café overlooking the mountains. As evening falls, soak in the peaceful atmosphere before spending the night in Chefchaouen.
Depart Chefchaouen and travel toward Fes, one of Morocco’s oldest imperial cities. The drive offers a glimpse into rural Moroccan life, passing rolling hills and traditional villages along the way.
Upon arrival in Fes, meet your local guide for a guided exploration of the historic medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover its labyrinth of streets, ancient mosques, traditional tanneries, and centuries-old madrasas.
Today marks the transition from cities to desert landscapes. Leaving Fes, travel south toward Ifrane, known for its alpine-style architecture and clean streets. Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in cedar forests where Barbary monkeys roam freely.
After lunch along the way, descend into the stunning Ziz Valley, famous for its vast palm groves and dramatic scenery. By afternoon, arrive in Merzouga at the edge of the Sahara Desert. Here, begin a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, pausing to watch the sunset from a high dune.
As night falls, reach your desert camp where dinner is served under the stars. Enjoy Berber music around the campfire before retiring to your private tent for the night.
Return from the camp by camel or 4×4 and continue the 5 day Tangier Desert tour. Stop in Rissani, a historic trading town, where you may visit its traditional market if it coincides with market day.
Continue toward Todra Gorge, where sheer canyon walls rise dramatically on either side of a narrow river. Enjoy time to walk through the gorge and admire its natural beauty.
Later, drive through the scenic Dades Valley, known for its unusual rock formations and panoramic viewpoints. Arrive at your hotel in the Dades Gorge area for dinner and an overnight stay.
On the final day, travel through the Valley of Roses and palm-filled oases toward Ouarzazate, often referred to as the gateway to the desert. You may visit Atlas Film Studios, home to many international movie productions.
Continue to the iconic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco’s most famous historical landmarks. After exploring the kasbah and enjoying lunch nearby, cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass.
