You can turn the drive from Fes to Marrakech into part of the holiday. This two-day private journey climbs to Ifrane, walks the Azrou cedar forest with its Barbary macaques, passes Berber market towns and spends a night in the Middle Atlas before Marrakech. Private or small-group for 1–6 travellers, custom-quoted.
A two-day private transfer from Fes to Marrakech the scenic way — the alpine town of Ifrane, the cedar forests and Barbary macaques of Azrou, an overnight in the Middle Atlas.
Most travellers fly or take the train between Fes and Marrakech and miss the green heart of Morocco entirely. This two-day private journey turns the transfer into part of the trip, climbing into the Middle Atlas you'd otherwise never see.
Day one takes you to Ifrane, a curiously Alpine town built by the French with steep-roofed chalets, then into the cedar forest above Azrou where troops of Barbary macaques live among Morocco's oldest cedars. You overnight in a mountain town before continuing south through Berber market towns and the foothills, descending to Marrakech the following afternoon.

Marrakech, Fes, Ifrane, Béni Mellal. Each has its own guide.
Private means just you and the people you travel with: your own driver-guide, your own vehicle and your own pace, on the dates you choose.
Or ask us about a small-group date and share the day with a few other travellers (1–6 travellers). The route is the same.
Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a stop, slow a day down or change the start, and we send a revised quote, agreed in writing before any deposit.
No deposit to receive a quote. A person in Fes reads your request and writes the plan, and we stay on WhatsApp while you travel.
