01Overview
The one-way desert trip from Fès to Marrakech: cedar forests, the Ziz valley, a night in the Merzouga dunes, the Todra and Dadès gorges and Aït Ben Haddou.
The best way to travel between Fès and Marrakech is not the train — it is this road. In three days you cross the Middle Atlas, sleep in the Sahara and descend the kasbah road to Marrakech, with your own driver and car all the way.
