The best way to travel between Marrakech and Fez is through the Sahara. This private 4-day route crosses the High Atlas, follows the Road of the Kasbahs to the Erg Chebbi dunes and continues north through the Middle Atlas to Fez.
It includes a full day around Merzouga by 4x4, with a visit to the Gnawa village of Khamlia and nomad families, plus a camel ride at sunset and a night in a desert camp.
