From Fez to Marrakech, by the most beautiful road
The train from Fez to Marrakech takes seven hours. We take three days, but along the way there are the Erg Chebbi dunes, two canyons, the Valley of Roses and the kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou.
It's the tour we recommend most to people visiting both cities: no doubling back on the same road and a new landscape every day.
- Cedars and macaquesin the Azrou forest
- Night in the Saharacamel and camp on Erg Chebbi
- Todra Gorgeand the Dadès hairpins
- Aït Ben Haddouand the Tizi n'Tichka pass
