4 days in Morocco, tour from Fes to Marrakech itinerary

Tour from Fes to Marrakech in Morocco lasting four days, including an outline of the itinerary’s destinations:

Ifrane:

Because it is the cleanest city in Africa and the ninth cleanest city in the world, Ifrane is often referred to be a miniature version of Switzerland. This is one of the reasons why it is given this nickname. Although the earliest permanent settlement in the region goes back to the 16th century, the new city wasn’t founded until 1928 by the French authorities.

Caves is what the name Ifrane implies in Tamazight and Berber. They believe that the city was built on top of caverns that had housed white lions in the distant past.

Ifrane is home to a number of attractions, one of which being the prestigious university of Alkhawayn, which is well known across Morocco and the rest of the globe. Students from the United States and France attend the institution stated above in order to study there and get their degrees.

Additionally, the city is well-known for its ski clubs, which are located in the Middle Atlas Mountains, a region that receives snowfall throughout the winter months.

Ifrane is home to several sizable cedar woods that are often frequented by barbary macaque monkeys. The locals take pleasure in strolling through these forests, and the government provides them with recreation sites in which even families may camp.

During the second world war, this city served as a concentration camp for captives from all over the globe. A German prisoner is said to have sculpted a monument of a white lion at the Garden city in order to buy his release, according to a narrative from the annals of history. You will get the opportunity to explore this lovely city on foot as part of our 4-day trip across Morocco, which will take you from Fes to Marrakech. In other words, you will go to the location of the white lion monument and explore the restaurants with the names of cities in Switzerland.

Ziz valley:

The Ziz valley is a huge valley with palm groves and is known as one of the most important suppliers of dates in the Kingdom of Morocco. The most of the time, people go there to take photographs and learn about how people make a living via agriculture.

Palm trees, apricot trees, almond trees, and more are cultivated in the valley.

There is a river that runs through the valley, and that river’s name is the Ziz river. Bedouins in Aoufous are able to irrigate their agricultural grounds with the help of this water source, which runs for nearly 200 kilometers to the south of Morocco.

If you are a photographer interested in visiting the Ziz valley, join our four-day trip of Morocco, which will take you from Marrakech to Fes and our guides will show you the most photogenic locations.

Erfoud:

It is renowned as the city of fossils, and it provides its guests with stores selling rocks that have been mined from the mountains in the area. Before becoming a desert, the area that is now Erfoud, Rissani, Merzouga, and other nearby places were covered by the bottom of a vast ancient ocean for around 350 million years. Because of this, businesses in Erfoud and archeologists from all over the globe travel to these mountains to mine the rocks and search for the mountains’ buried treasures. Feel free to get in touch with us if you’re interested in learning more about this city.

Camel trekking in Merzouga followed by a night spent at the camp:

The Erg Chebbi Sahara desert near Merzouga is home to some of the highest sand dunes in all of Morocco. In the year 2018, the population of the city is around 4,000 people.

Camel rides, quad riding, skiing, and many more activities are just some of the things that visitors may enjoy during their time in Merzouga. That is to say, on our 4-day trip of Morocco that takes you from Fes to Marrakech, you will be picked up in Fes and driven to the Merzouga desert, where you will experience a once-in-a-lifetime camel ride to the camp.

The tour will begin with a refreshing cup of Berber tea, and then you will ride one of Erg Chebbi’s most comfortable camels to one of the region’s largest sand dunes to watch the sunset. After taking in the breathtaking sunset, you will make your way back to the camp to participate in sports such as sandboarding. Following the completion of the meal, you will be treated to a show including Berber music while sitting around the campfire.

On the second day of the trip, you will see some of the most interesting sites in the Merzouga desert and the settlements that are located nearby.

After seeing the National Auto Museum’s collection of automobiles from throughout the world, you will go to Khamlia to meet the Gnaoua people.

Second, you will make your way to the mines of Kohl and baryte, which are located in an area that was once under French administrative control.

Thirdly, a trip to see the nomads’ home territory, the place where they tend to their herd and raise their livestock.

In conclusion, depending on what you choose, you will either go back to the hotel you were staying at or stay another night at the camp.

Rissani’s Souk:

The souk (market) in the city of Rissani is one of the souks (markets) in the south that the majority of visitors visit. Following your time spent at Merzouga on our 4-day Morocco travel from Fes to Marrakech, you will make your way to Tafilalet, the capital of the region. A city is well-known for its extensive date market and its donkey bazaar in the desert…

It is estimated that there were 20,469 thousand people living in the city in the year 2004. All of the kids from Merzouga come to Rissani to get their secondary education since the town does not have a high school.

About five distinct sections make up the souk, each of which is home to vendors specializing in a different kind of item.

The caravans that used to go through Rissani on their way to Marrakech and other places carried a wide variety of spices for the people who lived there in the past.

They continue to sell spices to visitors at costs that are quite low compared to the quality of the products they provide.

Every time the Souk is opened, there is a site in the city called the festival of animals where residents may go to exchange donkeys with one another.

Ouarzazate:

Ouarzazate, sometimes known as the Wallywood of Africa, is a city that is well-known for its magnificent monuments and has attracted a large number of film makers. Additionally, it is the seat of government for the province of Ouarzazate, which is located in the Draa Tafilalet area. This city is also known as the “gateway to the desert,” which is one of its nicknames. The road that departs from Ouarzazate is known as the “road of a thousand Kasbahs,” and the name comes from the abundance of Kasbahs that can be found along the route.

The Atlas studios, made famous by the production of a number of Hollywood films there, will be one of the stops on our 4-day journey that will take you from Fes to Marrakech. For example, there is the Gladiator, Alexander, the Message, and a great deal of further examples.

Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou:

One of the Ksars or Fortresses in Morocco that receives the greatest number of visitors is the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. Each year, it is visited by hundreds upon thousands of visitors. It is dubbed the Ksar of Glaoui alluding to Thami El Glaoui, the builder. In addition to this, Ben Haddou is credited with establishing the Kasbah in the eighteenth century. The consensus among archaeologists is that it dates to the 11th century, which is earlier than what other sources claim.

You will visit the Kasbah with one of our Moroccan travel experts on your 4-day excursion in Morocco, which will take you from Fes to Marrakech. Because the Kasbah is perched on a hill, you will begin by choosing the bridge path so that you may ascend the steps and reach the highest point of the structure. While you are traveling, you will learn how the Kasbah is painted using indigo and either green or black tea. The Glaoui tribal members used to communicate with one another using this antiquated method of letter exchange.

Ait Ben Haddou functions more like a production company for movies and television shows. Take, for instance, Lawrence of Arabia and the television show Game of Thrones…

Argan oil cooperative:

After your tour of Ait Ben Haddou, you have the option of stopping by one of the Essaouira family’s argan oil cooperatives on route to Marrakech. These cooperatives produce argan oil (the origin).

It is only found in Morocco and is used in the cosmetics industry there. There are no male employees there; all of the staff there are female, and their duty is to demonstrate to visitors how the locals make cosmetics and oil.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to sample several dishes prepared with argan oil before continuing on to Marrakech, the last destination of your four-day excursion from Fes to Marrakech.
