OUT THERE, IN THE LANDSCAPE

A private journey between Marrakech and Fes via southern Morocco and Erg Chebbi, with three-, four- and five-day options.

SOUTHERN MOROCCO

Cross the Atlas from Marrakech, follow the kasbah and oasis routes through the Ouarzazate region, then continue towards Merzouga and the dunes of Erg Chebbi. The journey ends in Fes via Midelt and Ifrane.

The operator offers three-, four- and five-day versions. More days allow additional time around the gorges and dunes; the overnight stops depend on the option agreed. At least one camp night near Erg Chebbi is described, with other nights in hotels or kasbah lodges.

Ask for a day-by-day proposal showing the exact accommodation and camp, meal plan, optional camel ride and any changes to the start or finish city.
