Default Marrakech to Fes via High Atlas Mtns

Two of us are coming to Morocco and we would like to find a travel company to take us from Marrakech to Fes. Here is a rough outline of our trip. It could be 4 days and 3 nights starting on December 23 from Marrakech. We have yet to find an affordable travel company. We would like to spend USD $380 or less per person, but have yet to find a travel company who can help. Can someone suggest a company that is good reliable and affordable? Thank you for your help.

Day 1 Marrakech - AitBenHaddou - Ouarzazate 200km
Pick up from your hotel/riad at 9:00am and travel towards the High Atlas Mountains. Cross the mountains via the highest road pass in Morocco Tizi n Tichka (2270m) offering one kind of scenery of mountains, valleys and Berber villages. Visit the extraordinary sight of the Atlas Mountains Kasbah Telouet. The crumbling Kasbah belonged to the powerful Glaoui tribe remembered as the "vulture" sultan and his son who lived there until the 1950's. Once a beautiful Kasbah, but still worth the visit today as the history and drama will unfold itself. Then you have the choice to take the main road or travel off road via the Ounila Valley. Route that offers unparalleled views of green valleys, river and remarkable colored slopes and hillsides. On your tour of Morocco visit the amazing UNESCO protected 16th century sight of Kasbah AitBenHaddou. Take a walk or hire a donkey to carry you across the river to this Kasbah. Stroll the winding streets to the Kasbah to the upper level for awe inspiring views. Overnight in Ouarzazate or by AitBenHaddou in one of the local Berber family

Day 2 Ouarzazate - Skoura Oasis - Rose Valley - Dades Gorge 250km
In the morning visit the city of Ouarzazate, its famous Kasbah Taourirt, residence of the Pasha of Marrakech. Then take a route of the Thousand Kasbahs towards the Skoura Oasis. Take a lovely off road in the oasis passing homes of the local people. Visit the Kasbah Amridil featured in many Moroccan brochures. Your Morocco Tour takes to then to the Rose Valley (Kella Mgouna) known for production of Moroccan roses and its variety of beauty products. Your journey continues passing the strange rock creation of Tamnalt Hills, a bizare rock creation resembling monkey feet. End your day at Dades Gorge, deep gorge of red and mauve rock. Overnight in Dades Gorge

Day 3 Dades Gorge - Todra Gorge - Merzouga - Erg Chebbi
Depart Dades Gorge to visit another deep oasis in Morocco the Todra Gorge. It walls are 300 m tall and at their most narrow part, they are mere 20 meters apart. Spend some time appreciating this natural wonder before resuming your trip towards the Sahara Desert. Approaching Merzouga you will see the first sand dunes of the desert. There your camels will be waiting for your to carry you across the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Travel on the back of your camels, or walk during a beautiful sunset. Spend the night in the Nomad tent in the camp in the desert.

Day 4 Erg Chebbi - Merzouga - Midelt - Azrou - FesRise early to greet the new day and, after mint tea and breakfast, return across the desert on your camels to shower and depart. Transfer direct from Merzouga to Fes along the scenic Ziz Valley Gorge and via Azrou and the cedar forests, where colony of monkeys will keep you amused. Arrival to Fez at about 6PM. We would drop you off at your riad
