Discover Morocco in 6 Days Mountains, Desert & Imperial Cities
This 6 day Morocco kasbah tour from fes is a gentle and complete way to experience the true heart of Morocco. In one beautiful trip, you discover imperial cities, the golden Sahara Desert, green valleys, ancient kasbahs, the High Atlas Mountains, and finally the fresh breeze of the Atlantic coast.
Your journey begins in Fes, where we guide you through history and culture. You explore the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, walk through the spiritual town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, and spend a quiet evening in the imperial city of Meknes.
From there, the road leads you south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, past cedar forests, Berber towns, and the long, palm-filled Ziz Valley, until the first golden dunes of Merzouga rise on the horizon.
In the Sahara, you enjoy a peaceful sunset camel ride, experience the deep silence of the desert, and sleep under a sky full of bright stars in our warm desert camp.
The journey continues through the dramatic Todra Gorge and the soft beauty of the Dades Valley, where high cliffs, rock formations, and small villages show you another side of Moroccan life.
Next, you travel to the green Skoura Oasis and visit historic places like Kasbah Amridil, followed by the film city of Ouarzazate.
You then explore the famous UNESCO site Aït Ben Haddou and the hidden Kasbah Telouet, before crossing the High Atlas Mountains along the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass on your way to Marrakech.
Your final day brings a beautiful change of atmosphere as you reach the Atlantic coast and visit Essaouira, a calm blue-and-white seaside town full of ocean air, artisan shops, and relaxed medina streets. After enjoying the coast, we return to Marrakech, where your tour comes to an end.
Throughout the whole journey, you travel with Morocco Desert Safari, a small Berber family agency that believes in simple comfort, honest service, and real human connection.
