Arrive in Fes, a quiet first evening
Fes airport (FEZ) to your hotel, about 25 minutes (15 km)
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : Fes
- Environ 30 min de route
We meet you at Fes Saiss Airport (FEZ) and drive about 25 minutes to your hotel at the edge of the old city, where we ask for a vehicle drop at the door and a lift to every guest floor. There is nothing to do today except rest after the flight.
Après-midi
Your room is yours from mid-afternoon, and if you land early your guide holds your bags and finds you a shaded courtyard and a mint tea while you wait. At about 6 pm the group meets in the hotel for a short briefing: how the days run, when the early mornings are and why, what to wear in the medina, and how the luggage moves at every change so you never lift a case.
Soir
Then we walk a few steps, or drive if it is far, to a welcome dinner of Moroccan dishes. With three nights in Fes, nobody has to repack tomorrow.
Compris
- Pick-up at Fes Saiss Airport (FEZ)
- Group briefing at the hotel
- Welcome dinner
Temps libre : Afternoon free to rest
Activité : Almost no walking today
Fes el-Bali, downhill all the way
A guided morning in the old medina, then a free afternoon
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Fes

Fes el-Bali, the old medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a maze of lanes too narrow for cars, built on a slope that falls toward the river. So we plan the walk downhill. The van drops you at Bab Bou Jeloud, the blue-tiled gate at the top, at about 9 am, and a licensed local guide leads you through at a slow pace, with tea stops on the way. You see the Bou Inania madrasa, with carved cedar and zellige tilework from the 1350s, the Al-Attarine madrasa, and the outside of the University of al-Qarawiyyin, founded in 859.
Matin
Mid-morning, when the sun reaches the dye pits, those who wish climb a shop staircase to look down on the Chouara tannery.
Après-midi
Lunch is at a restaurant near Place R'cif, where the van waits at the bottom of the hill to take you back. The afternoon is free.
Compris
- Guided walk of Fes el-Bali with a licensed local guide
- Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas
- Chouara tannery viewing terraces
- Lunch near Place R'cif
Option plus facile : Skip the tannery stairs and wait with a tea in Place Seffarine, the coppersmiths' square, while the others go up.
Temps libre : Afternoon free
Activité : About 3 km on foot, mostly downhill on uneven stone, with stops every 20 to 30 minutes. Leave the hotel about 9 am.
Volubilis in the morning, a cooking class at night
About 1 hour 15 minutes each way (80 km) to Volubilis
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Fes
- Environ 2.5 h de route

A later start, about 9 am, for the drive west through olive groves to Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman city in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Matin
We go in the morning because the site has almost no shade. A local guide follows the main paved street rather than the whole site: the basilica, the capitol, the Arch of Caracalla, put up in 217, and the floor mosaics still lying where they were laid in the houses beside it. Benches at the entrance and in the shade of the museum pavilion give you a rest halfway, and you can stop there and watch the others walk on. Across the valley sits Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, the white hilltop town that is one of the holiest places in Morocco.
Après-midi
Lunch is in a garden restaurant near the site, and you are back in Fes by mid-afternoon.
Soir
In the evening, a cooking class with dinner.
Compris
- Guided visit to Volubilis with a local guide
- Lunch near Volubilis
- Moroccan cooking class with dinner
Option plus facile : Walk only the first part, to the basilica and the capitol, about 1 km, and wait on a bench at the entrance.
Temps libre : Late afternoon free before the cooking class
Activité : About 2 km on foot at Volubilis on uneven Roman paving, in the sun; the cooking class is seated.
Over the Middle Atlas to Midelt
About 4 hours (230 km) in three stretches, by Ifrane and Azrou
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Midelt
- Environ 4 h de route
This is one of the trip's longer days, because Fes and the Sahara are far apart and there is no airport between them. We break it into three short stretches, none over about 2 hours. After a 9 am start, about 1 hour brings you up to Ifrane, a town laid out in the late 1920s with steep roofs and parks that look Alpine, for a coffee and a short level walk by the lion statue. Another 30 minutes takes you into the cedar forest near Azrou, where Barbary macaques, an endangered monkey, live; you can watch them from beside the van.
Après-midi
Lunch is in Azrou. The last 2 hours cross high open plateaus to Midelt, about 1,500 m up between the Middle and High Atlas. You arrive mid-afternoon with nothing left to do, and you stay two nights, so you unpack only once.
Compris
- Ifrane
- Cedar forest near Azrou
- Lunch in Azrou
Temps libre : Late afternoon free
Activité : Short level walks only, under 1 km in all
A day off in the apple country
A free morning, then an easy afternoon around Midelt
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du soir
- Nuit : Midelt
Today is a pause before the desert, and the long drive is behind you.
Matin
Sleep in, take a slow breakfast, and enjoy the clear mountain air: Midelt is known for its apple orchards, and on a clear day the peak of Jbel Ayachi, often still white in spring, closes the view to the south.
Après-midi
Nothing is scheduled before lunch. In the afternoon your guide offers a gentle outing by van to the edge of town, with a short level walk through orchards and the lanes of an old earth-walled ksar, the fortified villages of the region, and a visit to a family home for tea if one is arranged for your date. It lasts about 2 hours and is easy to skip if you would rather read on the terrace.
Soir
Dinner is at the hotel, early, with a quiet evening, because tomorrow you go down to the Sahara.
Compris
- Afternoon outing to the orchards and an old ksar near Midelt
Temps libre : Morning free
Activité : About 1.5 km of level walking in the afternoon, optional
Down the Ziz valley to a camp in the dunes
About 4.5 hours (275 km) in three stretches, then 30 minutes by 4x4
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Merzouga
- Environ 4.5 h de route
The second long day, broken like the first. About 1.5 hours south of Midelt the road crosses the eastern High Atlas and drops into the Ziz Gorges through the Legionnaire's Tunnel, built in the late 1920s; we stop at a viewpoint over the long ribbon of date palms below.
Après-midi
Lunch is in Errachidia or Erfoud, and the last stretch of about 1.5 hours runs to Merzouga, on the edge of Erg Chebbi, a sea of dunes that rise to about 150 m. There, 4x4 vehicles take you and your bags about 30 minutes across the sand to the desert camp, chosen for tents with beds, a private bathroom and a flat path to the dining tent. You stay two nights, so there is no early start tomorrow.
Soir
Sunset you can watch from a chair at the camp. Dinner is in the camp, then the stars.
Compris
- Ziz Gorges and the Legionnaire's Tunnel
- Lunch on the way
- 4x4 transfer to the desert camp
- Dinner in the desert camp
Activités en option
- Short camel ride at sunset, about 30 minutes, with a handler leading each camel
Option plus facile : Watch the sunset from the camp's chairs rather than the dune behind it.
Option plus active : Walk 15 to 20 minutes up the nearest dune for sunset, at your own pace.
Temps libre : Late afternoon free at camp
Activité : Under 1 km on foot; soft sand around the camp
A whole day in the Sahara
A free morning, Gnawa music in Khamlia, a second desert night
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Merzouga

If you want to see the sun come up over the dunes, it only means stepping out of your tent with a blanket; nobody is woken for it.
Matin
Breakfast is late, and the morning is yours to rest, read in the shade or watch the light shift on the sand. Late morning the 4x4s take you about 20 minutes to Khamlia, a village whose Gnawa families trace their roots across the Sahara to West Africa. You sit in a courtyard to hear their music, played on drums and the iron castanets called qraqeb, with tea.
Après-midi
Lunch is back at camp, then the afternoon heat is for resting. In the late afternoon your guide offers a short walk to a dune top for those who want it, or you can stay put.
Soir
Dinner is in the camp under the stars, often with music around the fire.
Compris
- Gnawa music in Khamlia
- Lunch and dinner in the desert camp
Activités en option
- Camel ride at sunset, about 30 minutes to 1 hour
Option plus facile : Stay at camp all day; Khamlia is optional.
Option plus active : A dune walk at sunrise or sunset, about 30 minutes of climbing in soft sand.
Temps libre : Morning and afternoon free
Activité : Seated visit in Khamlia; walking at camp is on soft sand
From the dunes to the Todra oasis
About 3.5 hours (220 km) in three stretches to Tinghir
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Tinghir
- Environ 3.5 h de route
Matin
The 4x4s bring you back to Merzouga after breakfast at about 9 am, where the van and your bags are waiting. The drive west is broken into three stretches of about an hour each. The first runs through Rissani and Erfoud; the second crosses stony desert by Tinejdad, where you stop to see a line of khettara, old hand-dug channels that carry water underground to the palm groves, from a short level path. The third brings you to Tinghir, a town of earth-walled villages above a long green oasis below the Todra Gorge.
Après-midi
Lunch is at your hotel or near it, and the afternoon is free. There are two nights here, so you can leave the larger bags packed and still spend tomorrow at the gorge in the best light.
Soir
Dinner is at the hotel.
Compris
- Khettara channels near Tinejdad
- Lunch in Tinghir
Temps libre : Afternoon free
Activité : Under 1 km on foot, level ground
The Todra Gorge at midday
About 30 minutes (15 km) each way, then a free afternoon
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Tinghir
- Environ 1 h de route
Matin
A slow morning, then about 30 minutes by van up the Todra valley, past the palm groves of the oasis, to the gorge itself. We time it for late morning, when the sun reaches the floor between the sheer rock walls, about 300 m high at the narrowest point. The road runs flat beside a shallow river, so the walk through the narrows is level and short, about 1 km, and the van waits at both ends. There are cafes with chairs in the shade at the entrance. On the way back you stop at a viewpoint over the oasis and the old villages of Tinghir.
Après-midi
Lunch is in the valley, and you are back at the hotel by about 2 pm. The afternoon is free.
Soir
If you have energy left, your guide can walk you through the lanes of the old quarter before sunset.
Compris
- Todra Gorge with your guide
- Viewpoint over the Tinghir oasis
Option plus active : A longer walk of about 2 hours on a path through the oasis gardens with your guide.
Temps libre : Afternoon free
Activité : About 1 km of level walking in the gorge
The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ait Benhaddou
About 3.5 hours (200 km) in three stretches, by Skoura and Ouarzazate
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Ait Benhaddou
- Environ 3.5 h de route
Three stretches today, each under about 1.5 hours. After a 9 am start you drive west past Boumalne Dades and Kelaat M'Gouna, the valley of roses, where in spring the hedges of Damask roses are picked for rose water. The second stretch brings you to the Skoura oasis and Kasbah Amridil, a 17th-century family fortress of earth and palm wood. The ground floor courtyard and rooms are level; the upper floors are reached by steep, narrow stairs, so you can stop at the bottom.
Après-midi
Lunch is in Ouarzazate, and about 30 minutes more brings you to Ait Benhaddou, where you sleep beside the ksar for two nights. Late afternoon, sit on a terrace across the river and watch the light turn the earth walls red.
Soir
Dinner is at the hotel.
Compris
- Kasbah Amridil in Skoura
- Lunch in Ouarzazate
- Sunset view of the ksar from across the river
Option plus facile : See Kasbah Amridil's ground floor and courtyard only.
Temps libre : Evening free
Activité : About 1 km on foot; steep stairs at the kasbah are optional
Ait Benhaddou in the late light
A free morning, then the ksar after the day coaches leave
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du soir
- Nuit : Ait Benhaddou

Matin
A free morning, with nowhere to be. The ksar of Ait Benhaddou is a fortified village on the old caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, and a film set for Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. Day coaches arrive from Marrakech from late morning, so we wait. At about 4 pm your guide walks you across the footbridge into the lower lanes, which are fairly gentle, to see the houses, the courtyards and the gate. The lanes then turn into steep earth steps up to the old granary at the top, which only some will want to climb; there is a cafe with seats at the foot of the climb, and the view of the walls from below is the classic one.
Soir
Back across the river for sunset and a quiet dinner.
Compris
- Guided visit to the ksar of Ait Benhaddou in the late afternoon
Activités en option
- Atlas Film Studios in Ouarzazate, about 30 minutes away by van
Option plus facile : Visit the lower lanes only, about 30 minutes, then rest at the cafe at the foot of the climb.
Option plus active : Climb the steep earth steps to the granary at the top, about 20 minutes up.
Temps libre : Morning free
Activité : About 1.5 km on uneven earth lanes; the climb to the top is optional
Over the Tizi n'Tichka to Marrakech
About 4 hours (190 km) in three stretches, over the High Atlas
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Marrakech
- Environ 4 h de route
The last long drive, and the road is the reason for it: the only way from the south to Marrakech is over the High Atlas. After a 9 am start the road climbs through Amazigh (Berber) villages and switchbacks to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, about 1.5 hours away, where you stop for the view and a coffee.
Après-midi
Lunch is on the north side in the valley, and the last stretch drops through walnut trees and red earth to the Marrakech plain. You reach your hotel by about 3 pm and the rest of the day is free. Your hotel is chosen with a lift and a vehicle drop at the door, so you are not walking bags through the souks.
Soir
If you want the medina tonight, your guide can drop you by van at the Koutoubia and collect you later.
Compris
- Tizi n'Tichka pass
- Lunch in the High Atlas
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : Short stops only; mountain bends for much of the morning
Majorelle at opening, the medina and a farewell
Jardin Majorelle, the Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fna by van and on foot
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Marrakech
- Environ 30 min de route

Matin
One early morning in Marrakech, because the sight demands it: Jardin Majorelle, the cobalt-blue garden of cactus and bamboo later owned by Yves Saint Laurent, is calm only at opening, and tickets are timed, so we book yours. Then the van drops you by the Bahia Palace, where a licensed local guide shows you the carved and painted rooms of the 19th century, and the Koutoubia mosque, whose 12th-century minaret is the city's landmark.
Après-midi
The souks come after in a short stretch with no shop stops, and lunch is in a riad restaurant. The afternoon is free, with the hammam as an option. At golden hour, a cafe terrace with seats above Jemaa el-Fna, the main square, shows the food stalls setting up below, a scene UNESCO lists as intangible heritage.
Soir
Farewell dinner tonight.
Compris
- Jardin Majorelle timed entry at opening
- Guided visit of the Bahia Palace and the Koutoubia with a licensed local guide
- Lunch in the medina
- Golden hour on a terrace above Jemaa el-Fna

Activités en option
- Traditional hammam with scrub
Option plus facile : Skip the souks and rest at the hotel between lunch and the evening.
Temps libre : Afternoon free
Activité : About 3 km on foot over the day in short stretches, with the van between them; leave the hotel about 7:45 am
Departure from Marrakech
Hotel to Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), about 20 minutes
- Petit-déjeuner
Matin
Your last morning is free, with breakfast at the hotel and no need to rush.
Après-midi
If your flight leaves in the afternoon, there is time to sit in the hotel garden, go back by taxi for the lamp or rug you were still thinking about yesterday, or visit the small museums of the medina at your own pace; your guide can suggest which suit the time you have. Hotel check-out is usually late morning, and the hotel holds your bags until you leave. When it is time, we drive you to Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), about 20 minutes from the city centre, in good time for your flight: plan on reaching the airport about three hours before an international departure. If you are flying home through Casablanca, leave plenty of room for the connection, and tell us your flight times when you book so the transfer is set.

Faune et météo : Spring and autumn are mild, but the desert swings from warm days to cold nights, sometimes near freezing in March and November, so bring a warm layer for the camp. June to August is very hot inland, often above 38 °C (100 °F) in the Sahara, and is not offered for this version. Snow can close the Tizi n'Tichka pass for a few hours in winter and early spring. A sandstorm can hide a desert sunrise; with two nights you get a second chance.

Questions
How slow is the pace, really?
Slow enough to unpack only six times. Every base has two or three nights, every day leaves at about 9 am except one early morning for Jardin Majorelle, and there is a free morning or afternoon every other day. Day 5 in Midelt and day 7 in the desert are mostly rest.
How long are the drives?
Five days run 3.5 to 4.5 hours, because Fes, the Sahara and Marrakech are far apart. Each is split into stretches of about 2 hours or less, with coffee stops, lunch included and a quieter day next to it. The other days have no more than 2.5 hours in the van, and most have none.
Are there stairs, and do the hotels have lifts?
We only use hotels with a lift to every guest floor or a ground-floor room, with a vehicle drop at the door. The few steep stairs on the route, at the Fes tannery, Kasbah Amridil and the top of Ait Benhaddou, are optional, with a seat at the bottom for anyone who stays.
Do I have to ride a camel to the desert camp?
No. A 4x4 takes you and your bags to the camp in about 30 minutes. A short camel ride at sunset, led by a handler, is an option you can book there. The camp has tents with beds and a private bathroom, and you stay two nights.
Can I come if I use a cane or a walker?
Usually, yes, with a cane. A walker is harder on the medina lanes and the sand around the camp. Tell us when you book, and we check each hotel, the camp and every visit for your dates and say plainly what will and will not work before you pay anything.
What does the price include?
13 nights in hotels with lifts or ground-floor rooms and a desert camp, 13 breakfasts, 9 lunches and 9 dinners, a See Sight Tours guide and a private vehicle with driver from Fes to Marrakech, licensed local guides, 4x4 desert transfers, a cooking class, Majorelle tickets, airport transfers and every entry in the day plan.
How big is the group and who leads it?
The small group has 7 to 12 guests, so everyone fits in one vehicle and around one table. A trained See Sight Tours guide stays with you from Fes to Marrakech, and licensed local guides join in Fes, Volubilis and Marrakech, where the sites require them.
I am travelling solo. What does a single room cost?
A room of your own is from CAD 365 more, about 16 percent of the trip price, and it covers your own tent at the desert camp too. If you would rather share, ask when you book and we try to pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender.
When is the best time to go?
March to May and late September to early November. Days are mild and the desert nights cool, so bring a warm layer for the camp. We do not run this version from June to August, when the Sahara is often above 38 °C (100 °F), or in winter, when nights are cold and snow can close the Atlas pass.
How does booking work and when do I pay?
Pick a date and request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 2,265 per person sharing, taxes included, and the private trip from CAD 4,075.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. Besides the small group, the trip runs as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we quote the same hotels, transport and guided visits for you.
Do I need a visa for Morocco?
Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Your passport should be valid for your whole stay. Check the current entry rules for your own passport before you fly.
