Day 3: Fes – Fes:

Free day in Fes. Upon entering the streets of its medina (ancient city) we will feel that time goes backwards: the guild structure is still present at work, the narrowness of its streets does not allow any other means of transportation than donkeys and a constant swarming of people moves through the labyrinthine streets in the middle of which we will be surprised by neighborhoods like the Andalusian one and magnificent mosques and Koranic schools. Fes has always been associated with study and religiosity, and continues to be the spiritual capital of Morocco.

Day 8: Ouarzazate – Aït Benhaddou – Marrakech:

The journey is a succession of strengths. Today is another one of them. The 200 km that separate Ouarzazate from Marrakech run through the High Atlas.
