Fes is also home to a handful of tanneries, some of which have been in operation for centuries. Visit the Arabian House in the afternoon and see the local artisans at work. Stay overnight in Fes.

This morning, you will leave Fes behind and drive over the Middle Atlas, past cedar forests with monkeys, to stop at Midelt, a beautiful alpine town. Surrounded by huge pine trees, this tranquil mountain town is a great spot to cool down and relax.

Then continue to the desert of Merzouga. Jump on a camel on arrival and take it for a ride. Do some exploring before it is time to check into a Berber Camp, where you will spend the night.

Your camel driver will wake you up in the morning and take you out to enjoy an amazing sunrise from the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Return to the camp, enjoy your breakfast before driving to the Todra Gorges, also known as "Morocco’s Grand Canyon".

The Todra comprises beautiful limestone cliffs that change color with the movement of the sun. Explore the plunging depths and the stupefying heights of the gorges then drive to the Dades Valley.

The journey continues to the Valley of the Roses after breakfast. This area is famous for the festivity that takes place in the first week of May. From there, you will travel to Skoura Oasis followed by Ouarzazate, where you will visit Ait Benhaddou, the famous Unesco heritage site and shoot location for many Hollywood movies.

Your day ends on arrival in Marrakech, where you have a free evening after checking into your hotel. Perhaps, you might want to spend the evening at the famous Jemaa El Fnaa Square.

Enjoy a guided city tour of Marrakech today. Travel down its winding streets and see the bustling souks selling everything from everyday items to beautiful arts and handicraft.
