Program Itinerary of the 4 Days Tour Tangier to Marrakech
Tangier » Chefchaouen » Fes [309 Km]
Your exclusive 4-day itinerary starts with pickup at your hotel. We head straight for Chefchaouen, known as “the blue city” or “the blue pearl of the north”.
The breathtaking beauty of its winding streets, bordered by green plants and red and green flowers, is sure to astound you. We take a long stroll along the river that runs through this little town, and you can stop for a mint tea in the lovely Plaza Uta el-Hammam. After lunch, we drive to Fes to unwind and prepare for the trip to the Sahara.
Fes » Ifrane » Merzouga Desert (Camel Trek & Night in the desert) [467 km]
After a hearty breakfast this morning, we journey over the Middle and High Atlas mountains towards our favourite destination: the Merzouga Sahara.
We pass through Ifrane — often called “Morocco’s little Switzerland” — and Azrou, then enter the Ziz Valley and continue to Midelt. Next comes Erfoud, where you can see the famous fossils.
When we arrive in Merzouga, you take the famous camel ride into the Sahara. After dinner, you spend the night in a tent beneath the stars, with Berber music around the fire.
Merzouga Desert » Todra Gorges » Dades Valley [255 km]
Sit on the dune and take in the most breathtaking dawn over Merzouga as your desert journey continues.
You then ride your camel back towards Merzouga village. Afterwards, we visit Rissani and explore Tafilalet, the birthplace of the Moroccan Alaouite dynasty. We tour the Todgha Gorge and continue to the Dades Valley, where you have dinner and spend the night in a riad.
Dades Valley » Ait Ben Haddou » Marrakech [325 km]
Today, after breakfast, we travel to the Valley of Roses, then Skoura, and finally a film studio in Ouarzazate. We also visit Ait Ben Haddou, one of the most famous fortified cities in the world, where you can tour the kasbahs.

Reviews about our 4 Days Tour Tangier to Marrakech
100% Suggested My flights were scheduled two days in advance, and I appreciate that Mohamed got back to me and tailored a schedule that included everything I wanted to see and do in Morocco! Morocco has captured my heart, and I will return for further tours! Mohamed became my part-time photographer in addition to being an excellent driver! His service had a significant positive impact on my experience. What occurs when you travel alone. I only have wonderful things to say and have made some really special memories. Gratitude for everything, Morocco Day Tour.
