Welcome to Morocco!

What’s so special about these forests is that they are the natural habitat of the native Barbary monkey species. Otherwise, We can have a refreshing walk through the cedar trees and hopefully get a glimpse of the monkeys (they’re accustomed to visitors!). Following this, our journey continues crossing the Atlas Mountains until we start reaching Morocco’s desert with the first desert town: Erfoud. Erfoud is known locally for its high-quality marble, fossils, and dates. We will take this opportunity to have a mouthwatering traditional lunch before continuing to the village of Merzouga: the gateway to the Moroccan desert.

At the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, Merzouga is the perfect location for us to begin our camel trekking expedition into the desert. The end destination of the camel trek is a lovely desert camp neatly hidden away between the dunes, where we will spend the first night of this Marrakech desert tour alongside the beats of Berber drums.

5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Fes:

Fez welcomes its visitors in the north of Morocco, between the Rif and the Middle Atlas. Radiant and colorful, since its creation in the Middle Ages, is one of the country’s four imperial cities. A destination that inspires both art lovers and simple tourists. Getting lost in its souks, venturing into the narrow streets of its medina, or contemplating its most beautiful buildings with impressive mosaics, there are many discovery activities. But, do you still have some hesitations? Here are five good reasons to fly to this exotic city and before you start our Fes to Marrakech desert tour 2 days.

 The largest open-air tannery in Morocco:

Visiting the open-air Chouara tannery, considered the most important in Morocco, is an unusual experience. Created more than 1,000 years ago and located near Place As-Seffarine, it is one of the highlights of local tourism. The idea is to go there in the morning when the tanners are in total activity. Then, with some luck, you can move between the vats filled with dyes. Some vendors will happily explain the tanning process to you in exchange for a purchase or a small tip. You can also admire the spectacular panorama over all the vats from the terrace of the surrounding cafes and restaurants, which is one of the reasons you should pick our Fes to Marrakech desert tour for 2 days.

 A multitude of museums:

Visiting museums is an activity in its own right in Fez. At the Weapons Museum, housed in an imposing 16th-century fort, you will discover an impressive collection of ancient weapons, some of which date back to prehistoric times. The Nejjarine Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts presents, for its part, a multitude of traditional objects, such as prayer beads, various artisan tools, musical instruments, or various elements of Berber ironwork. Finally, Moroccan art and craftsmanship can be seen at the Batha Museum. You will find colorful Berber carpets, a selection of zelliges, and chiseled stucco recovered from the old Madersas or magnificent Fassi embroideries.

In the experience of Fes to Marrakech desert tour for 2 days you will visit all the must-see sites and have a wonderful time in the old city. To know more about what will be included, please contact us.

 The largest mosque in North Africa:

Majestically laid out in the very heart of the medina, the Quaraouiyine Mosque was built in 859 by Tunisian refugees and had a capacity of 20,000 worshippers. This high place of the Muslim religion is also home to one of the oldest universities in the world still in operation. It even houses a library that presents an exceptional collection of illuminated Korans. The site is closed to non-Muslims, but you can still appreciate the splendor of its endless colonnades from the doors that open onto As-Seffarine and Talaa Kebira squares; for sure, another reason you should pick our Fes to Marrakech desert tour for 2 days.

A city within :

In Fez, we discover a small city within the city. Known as El Jedid and built in the 13th century to revive the city, it has become the privileged site of various traders. Its rather particular decor resembles a former royal district and has multiple shows, such as that of the snake charmers. Also, take the time to discover its emblematic places, such as the Place des Alaouites, the Jewish quarter of Mellah, the sumptuous Royal Palace of Dar El-Makhzen, and its royal gardens.

 Fez has the oldest medina in the world:

It is impossible to evoke a stay in Fez without mentioning its immense medina. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, it is now one of Morocco’s 4 oldest and best-preserved imperial cities, in addition to being the most significant and oldest medina in the world. Apart from the must-see sites such as the Quaraouiyine mosque or the Andalusians, you will discover all the facets of history, customs, and local traditions in all their authenticity. Let yourself be carried away by the noise, the cries, the smells, the colors, and above all, the friendliness of the place.

And these are some reasons you should visit Fes, the iconic city, but they’re nothing like the experience you will get with our Fes to Marrakech desert tour for 2 days, so what are you waiting for
