This is the most popular way to travel from Fes to Marrakech, and the best balance between time and experience. On day one you cross the Middle Atlas by Ifrane and the cedar forests, then the Ziz valley, reaching Merzouga for a sunset camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes and a night in a desert camp. Day two follows the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs west: the oasis of Tinghir, a walk in the Todra Gorge and a night in the Dades valley among red rock formations. On day three you pass the Valley of Roses and Ouarzazate, visit Ait Ben Haddou and cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Marrakech.
