Ziz Valley:

4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech

It is impossible to see everything that the Ziz Valley has to offer in a single day. A multi-day hike between Ksours hidden in palm groves, archaeological sites, and other tourist attractions is recommended.

While strolling on foot or on the back of a donkey, you will notice striking contrasts between the greenery of sumptuous gardens and the nudity of the rock faces falling steeply along the gorges. Above all, on this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech, you will meet locals who have been here for generations and whose traditional hospitality and cultural diversity have earned them international acclaim.

The national road N°13 is also an excellent way to explore the valley. Indeed, the road connecting Midelt and Erfoud runs for more than 200 kilometers along the Ziz River, providing landscapes as varied as they are breathtaking: mountains, limestone cliffs, expanses of greenery, monuments, gorges… only wonders, each conveying a piece of the region’s history. This 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech In terms of decor, the landscapes in some places resemble the Colorado Plateau and the Grand Canyon of Arizona.

Merzouga The Majestic Desert and Starry Sky:

Merzouga will be the best place to spend two nights during this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakesh . It’ s a small, dusty town in eastern Morocco on the outskirts of the starkly beautiful Sahara Desert. Although the town itself has little to offer the adventurous traveler (aside from a few hotels and restaurants), it is well-known as the entry point to the vast Erg Chebbi dunes. Soaring sand peaks here change color with the changing light of dawn and dusk. Camel trains cut romantic silhouettes, and Berber villages serve as remote oases in an environment that hasn’t changed in thousands of years. These are the iconic Sahara landscapes from which Moroccan fantasies are made.

The nearby desert is central to life in Merzouga, and the most authentic way to experience this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakesh it is on camelback. Several operators provide the option of joining a camel safari into the dunes. or quad bikes , these excursions include an overnight stay in a desert luxury camp or a traditional Berber village. The former provides the unparalleled romance of a night under canvas beneath the blazing desert stars, while the latter allows you to experience authentic Berber food, music, and culture.

Tinghir- Toudgha Gorges:

On this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech, Tinghir is a charming town known for its magnificent palm grove and the famous Todra Gorge. It’s built in terraces around a rocky outcropping dominated by the ruins of an ancient Glaoui residence. Tinghir is a city in central-eastern Morocco, in the Draa-tafilalet region, in the Todra valley at the southern end of the High Atlas Mountains, facing the Jbel Saghro.

Its name is derived from the Tamazight, the mountain’s location (tin) (ighir, shoulder or crest). It has a population of 40,000.

The palm groves stretch on either side of the city for 30 kilometers and are filled with small Kasbahs and Ksars.
A walking tour reveals an entire community organization in terms of field work and water distribution to tourists.
The Todra Gorge, 15 kilometers from Tinghir’s center, awes visitors with its spectacular plunge down to the river bed carved over millennia by the Todra river.

Tinghir is proud of its impressive Todra Valley gorges. These are very popular among both foreign and Moroccan visitors to the South East. We are proud to share the best gorges and spots for a charming landscapes and nature on this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. The walls of the gorge, which can reach 300 meters in height, make it a popular climbing location. Some ascents have clear markings, while others do not.

Dades Valley- Figues Valley:

4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech

Boumalne Dades is a Moroccan city in Tinghir Province, Drâa-Tafilalet that will be a good stop during IzilMorocco’s 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech.

Boulmane Dades is the result of an old way of transhumance controlled by the Ait Atta Tribe of Jbel Saghro and also used by neighboring tribes of Mgouna, At Sedrate, At Hdiddou, and At Marghad between summer pastures in the High Atlas and Saghro wintering pastures. Berbers make up the majority of its population, as they do in the Dades Valley.

On the Dades, you’ll pass through beautiful orchard scenery before reaching the mountainous Atlas foothills. Tamlalt is located approximately nine kilometers after Boulmane. The rocky outcrops known as “monkey fingers” can be found here. one of the incredible photo opportunities on this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. This geologic marvel is especially stunning at sunset. Explore the ruins of an ancient kasbah on the other side of the oued, a mysterious and melancholy landscape.

Consider yourself to be in the shadows on this day of your 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. close to the bottom of a deep canyon The clear, clean water of a river flows beneath you. The water, which is nearly black in the shadows, gleams wherever it is touched by the sun. Colorful canyon walls reach up to the bright blue sky above and around you.

It’s difficult to believe that millions of years ago, this land was at the bottom of the sea. However, Dades Valley (also known as Dades Gorges) now spends the majority of the year dry. During the dry season, the Dades River, which cuts these canyon walls, looks more like a creek than a river.

But when the storms come and the snow melts off the High Atlas mountains, filling the river to capacity and sweeping away all vegetation in its path, you almost think the sea has returned to claim Dades Valley.

Dades Valley is one of the best places to spend a night and ir will be a recommended  places you can visit during a 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech.

Kelâat M’Gouna- Rose Valley :

The Valley of the Roses in Morocco is frequently overlooked on the popular Ouarzazate to Dades road trip route. An incredible place to visit on this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. The scenery is breathtaking, but the local rose products are critical to the survival of a small Moroccan community.

Kelâat M’Gouna hosts the Roses Festival every May. It lasts seven days in Dadès and M’Goun to commemorate the rose season. In 2015, 300,000 people attended the festival. During the festival, visitors came from all over the world to discover the beauty of Kelâat M’Gouna and its rose products, which included perfume, rose water, oil, and cosmetic products, as well as to experience the warmth and hospitality of its generous locals.

The valley is overrun with local women picking roses to be shipped to factories in nearby Kalaat megouna during the 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. They are transformed into shampoo, hand creams, cure-alls, and nasal decongestants, among other things. The festival also allows visitors to learn about local handicrafts and agricultural products.

Ouarzazat- Holywood of Africa :

4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech

First and foremost, I like the color of Ouarzazate. Morocco’s color is the raw earth color of these adobe houses. The color of this city is soft and warm. Shades of orange ochre and pinkish ochre found in arid soils and deserts. The city’s soothing atmosphere will then astound you. It exudes Olympian calm. You can wander the maze of the old town, lulled by this benign aura, to meet the locals.

During this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech, there is a lot to see and do in Ouarzazate. The best of them all is getting a ticket to the Atlas studios, the most popular of which is the Oscar studio. Almost all of the information about the filming in the Kasbahs of Touarirt and Ait Benhaddou can be found there. There are also materials for making movies. You can find wooden dolls and cars, for example… In fact, if you’ve been to Hollywood in Los Angeles, we don’t recommend returning because it’s not worth it.

Second, the Taourirt Kasbah, built by the Thami Glaoui family, is well-known in Ouarzazate. This Kasbah is a 300-room mystery maze. In order to explore, you must first purchase a ticket. As a result, it is preferable to visit Ait Benhaddou’s Kasbah instead.

Ksar Ait Ben Haddou – UNESCO World Heritage:

4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech

A traditional pre-Saharan habitat is the ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls. Within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers, the houses crowd together. Ait-Ben-Haddou in Ouarzazate province is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture.

At IzilMorrocco wille  this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. Ait ben Haddou The kasbah’s strategic location on a major trade route made it a target for various Moroccan dynasties that succeeded one another. The first structure in the Kasbah, according to oral history, was Ighrem n-lqddarn, where a Jewish Berber princess presided and ruled until the Souss.

According to a document left by the village notary, the Ait Aissa or Hmad would have founded the first nucleus of the Kasbah in the XIIth century, a tribute that will join the general “Ben Haddou” appointed.

The kasbah was the residence of a succession of high notables during the nineteenth century and played an indisputable role in the representation of Makhsen power in the region. Sultan El Hassan I passed through the region on his way to Telouat and then Marrakech during his last Haraka.

Pasha El Glaoui was named governor of the southern provinces. The Ait Ouaouzguit fought the Glaoua, with the exception of the Ait Ben Haddou, who had alliances with the latter. During a 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech, you will learn about Morocco’s magical history and discover many kasbahs.

Marrakech Red City :

4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech

Marrakech is one of Morocco’s most historical cities, and we chose it as one of the cities that will make your trip memorable during this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech. It was founded in 1062 by the Almoravids. With mosques and Koranic schools, the city grew into a religious and commercial center for the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa. Buildings include ramparts, palaces, and, most importantly, a mountain-fed irrigation system.

The cultural and architectural influences of Cordoba and Seville blend with the designs of desert peoples, nomads, and people from the southern Sahara.
Marrakech, the Almoravid capital that rules from the banks of the Senegal River in central Spain to the Atlantic coast in Algiers, is one of the main cities included in this three-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech.

Marrakech was rife with tribal revolts and European intrigues at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1912, France imposes a protectorate on Morocco. The western district of Guéliz will be built northwest of Marrakech’s Medina during the colonial period. A rich history awaits you on this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech.

The world-famous Jamaa el Fnaa square is located in the heart of the Medina. Walking through this square is unlike any other! As you worm your way through snake charmers, entertainers, and street food stalls selling fresh juices, feel the heat beating off the stone floor. this 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech will emmerse you with many things to do and seen .

By night, the square comes to life with music, with flute players, dancers, and artists all performing in front of the stalls’ twinkling lights. This incredible display of Moroccan culture should not be missed on your 4 Days Trip From Fez to Marrakech.

If the square is the heart of Marrakech, the souks are its true soul. Wander just off the main square to find an incredible labyrinth of markets. It’s easy to get lost in the covered markets and the maze of tiny streets that all appear to be the same.
