3-Day Morocco Student Tour from Marrakech to Fes via MerzougaOne-way student Sahara route ending in Fes

Your Morocco student tour from Marrakech to Fes begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech. Travel through the spectacular High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n'Tichka Pass and stopping at scenic viewpoints along the way. Continue toward the UNESCO-listed Aït Ben Haddou, one of Morocco's most famous fortified villages. Explore its narrow streets, traditional earthen buildings and panoramic viewpoints before continuing toward Ouarzazate.

After a break for lunch, drive through the Skoura area and the beautiful Valley of Roses before reaching the Dades Valley. The route offers plenty of opportunities for photographs and short stops. In the afternoon, arrive at your hotel or riad in Dades, where your student group can relax and enjoy dinner together.

After breakfast, continue east toward the Sahara Desert. Drive through the spectacular landscapes of the Dades region before reaching Todra Gorge, famous for its enormous limestone canyon walls. Enjoy time to walk through the gorge and take photographs before continuing toward Erfoud, known for fossils and dates. Continue to Rissani, an important historic market town and traditional gateway to the Sahara.

In the afternoon, arrive in Merzouga and meet your camel guides. Ride camels across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun begins to set. After reaching your desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and spend the evening around the campfire with your fellow students. Enjoy Berber music, drums and the spectacular night sky before sleeping in your Sahara camp.

Wake early to watch the Sahara sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast, return from the desert camp and begin the journey north toward Fes. The route follows the spectacular Ziz Valley and continues through Errachidia toward Midelt, with beautiful mountain scenery along the way.

Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains toward Azrou, where you may have time for a short stop in the cedar forest. The journey then continues to Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco" because of its alpine-style architecture and mountain setting. From Ifrane, continue toward Fes, arriving in the late afternoon or evening depending on traffic and stops.
