Instead of a train or a flight, cross Morocco by road and see the Sahara on the way. This private three-day tour leaves Marrakech over the High Atlas, visits the ksar of Ait Ben Haddou and spends the first night in the Dades valley. On the second day you walk in the Todra Gorge, then reach Merzouga in time for a camel ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes and a night in a desert camp. On the third day, after sunrise, you drive north through the Ziz valley, Midelt and the Middle Atlas, past the cedar forests and Ifrane, arriving in Fes in the evening. A complete Moroccan journey in three days.
