3 days from Fes to Marrakech highlights
Erg Chebbi Dunes
Erg Chebbi Dunes is the most famous desert destination in Morocco. We can say that the Moroccan southern regions start developing thanks to this amazing natural wonder that attracted visitors since the late 1980s. The dunes of Erg Chebbi are the tallest sand dunes in Morocco, reaching around 250 high.
Todra Gorges
Todra Gorges, also locally known as Gorges du Todra are one of the most fascinating attractions of the Tnghir Province or Draa Tafilalet region in Morocco. These majestic rocky canyons rising up to 300 meters (1000 feet) impress visitors (video) that traverse its narrow opening.
Ksar Ait Benhaddou
Ksar Ait Benhaddou is undoubtedly south Morocco's ex-libris, as the only UNESCO World Heritage site listed below the Atlas Mountains. This 17th-century mud-brick village located on the hill surprises visitors with its inherent beauty. Still today a reduced number of families live there.
