Places to see in your 4 Days tour from Marrakech to Fes Itinerary

High Atlas Mountains

Morocco is a fascinating mix of Eastern and Western cultures, as evidenced by its architecture, food, and landscapes. One of its most beautiful jewels is the High Atlas – ancient, rustic and rich in folklore – a must for your 4 days tour to Morocco.
The High Atlas is the highest mountain in North Africa. They cross Morocco for about 1000 km and separate the gentle Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts from the rigid Sahara to the south.

Ait Benhaddou

The dozens of kasbahs that populate southern Morocco have an authentic capital 30 kilometers from Ouarzazate. At the gates of the desert, the impressive ksar of Ait Ben Haddou raises his adobe houses by the skirts of a cliff creating in the visitor a feeling of living a journey in time.

A ksar is a fortified village of Berber origin and consists of numerous kasbahs inside, the typical North African construction made with traditional materials such as adobe or wood. Ait Ben Haddou is the best-known ksar in Morocco and probably one of the most impressive and fascinating monuments in the country and the one that you can’t miss in your 4 days tour from Marrakech to Fes.

Ouarzazate is an obligatory stop for all those who make the Oasis route and lately it is booming at a cinematic level, as its region offers a natural landscape of great beauty for filming.

Ouarzazate is born from an outpost created by the Foreign Legion in 1928, and still today it is a city of an important garrison. In fact, approximately 56,000 people live and work here, although more than a destination in itself, it is rather a point of departure and returns for trips from the south. 4 Days Desert tour from Marrakech to Fes and Merzouga is also a regular option for tourists from the red city.

Merzouga ( Erg Chebbi Desert )

These are undoubtedly the most visited dunes in Morocco by far, and also the most beautiful. One of the biggest attractions of Morocco that has its well-earned fame.

The village of Merzouga is located about 550 km from Marrakech, 450 km from Fez, which is a journey of more than 7 hours in any case.

Located just before the dune line, the village of Merzouga is the least, what everyone comes to here is to see and feel Erg Chebbi. If crossing the dunes is a delight for the senses, when the sunset arrives, the feeling of fullness, tranquility and beauty is such, that its memory will fill you with emotion for years. ¡ Guaranteed!

Berber Nomad

Traditionally, Barbers used their unique ability to sail the desert to serve as key players in the North African trade network for the Middle East. It is difficult to find yourself across the faceless and sandy landscape of the Sahara Desert. That’s why the Berbers of the Sahara are like sailors on the high seas, oriented towards the stars.

In addition, Berbers have many stories and songs describing how to find small water holes and a number of recognizable places in the desert.

The Ziz Valley

It is curious, that no one gives it the importance it deserves the Ziz Valley when it is a really beautiful valley. The valley of the Ziz, is on the passage of many routes through Morocco that want to reach the desert of Merzouga, most travelers who pass, come from Fes or also, in the opposite direction, from Erfoud to Fes.

Undoubtedly, the valley of Ziz deserves a stop on the road, and on the same road you will find some place where you can stop the vehicle, and enjoy the splendor of the landscape.

Cedar Forest

To be honest, few travelers come to Azrou to visit the city, as it is its cedar forests that have made the area famous and the monkeys that inhabit it, these kinds of monkeys are called Barbary Macaques.

The most famous of these forests is the Grand Cedre Gouraud, the oldest cedar in the region. Unfortunately, he died a few years ago from a plague of processions. A few meters from Cedar Gouraud you will find souvenir stands where you can buy souvenirs from your tour to Fes.

Ifrane city

Ifrane is a city in Morocco with a population of approximately 30,000 people, located in the Middle Atlas mountains, about 1,713 meters above sea level. It was founded by the French in 1929 and today is one of the cleanest cities in the world, according to a list made by MBC Times. Ifrane, also known as the ‘small Switzerland’, is characterized by its gabled roofs, and the streets and gardens are taken care of to the maximum detail. Both in summer and winter, this mountain town is an excellent starting point for numerous excursions to its surroundings, especially in the huge Mischliffen.

Fes city

Our 4 Days tour from Marrakech to Fes will end in Fes which is famous for its ancient fortified city, which many compare to that of Jerusalem. It is the first of Morocco’s imperial cities, as it dates from the eighth century. He is also a pioneer in the Muslim cult of this country and has one of the oldest universities in the world. All these firsts make Fez, as it is also called, a particularly attractive city with a vibrant and influential culture. In fact, it is particularly known for being the cultural and spiritual capital of Morocco, the center of art and science.

Fez is one of the most interesting and attractive destinations in the country, perhaps a little obscured by the big cities of the country, Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat. Although Fes has been able to adapt to modern life, it also preserves its traditions and one of the most authentic lifestyles of Morocco, something that is breathed in each of its streets.
