Then keep going to Ouarzazate, which is known as the “Gateway to the Sahara” and has a lot of movie studios. After lunch, drive through the Rose Valley to reach the Dades Gorges, where you can admire the stunning rock formations and spend the night in a local hotel

You can take a short hike here before continuing to Erfoud, known for its fossil workshops and market. Then, head to Merzouga, a small village on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Take a camel ride to watch the sunset over the dunes before spending the night in a traditional Berber tent.
The second day of this 4-day tour from Marrakech to Fes starts after you wake up early to watch the sunrise over the desert before returning to Merzouga by camel.
