The Imperial Connection

This 5-Day Marrakech to Fes Tour is the ultimate cross-country adventure, linking Morocco's two most famous imperial cities through the spectacular landscapes of the south. It's the perfect itinerary for travelers who want to see it all without backtracking.

Start by crossing the High Atlas mountains to the Kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate. Travel through the Valley of Roses and the dramatic Dades and Todra Gorges before reaching the Merzouga Desert for a night of luxury under the stars.

From the sand dunes, you'll head north through the palm-filled Ziz Valley and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas—home to Barbary macaques—before arriving in the medieval city of Fes.
