Day 1

FES - IFRANE - AZROU - MIDELT - ZIZ VALLEY - MERZOUGA DESERT

Your desert adventure from Fes begins after breakfast at your hotel or riad. We depart towards the Middle Atlas Mountains, with the first stop in Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco. This charming town offers clean streets, alpine-style houses, and fresh mountain air.

Next, continue through the cedar forest of Azrou, where you will encounter the famous Barbary macaques, a unique primate species of Morocco. Enjoy time to walk, take photos, and experience the natural beauty of the region.

Afterwards, we cross the Middle Atlas and stop in Midelt for lunch at a local restaurant. The journey then continues through the Ziz Valley oasis, an incredible landscape filled with palm groves, dramatic gorges, and traditional Berber villages. This valley is one of the highlights of any Fes to Merzouga desert tour.

Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, your camel trekking experience begins. Each traveler rides a camel across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Along the way, stop on top of a high dune to watch a breathtaking Sahara sunset.

At night, you will be welcomed at a luxury or standard Berber desert camp, where you will enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, rhythmic Berber drumming, and storytelling around the campfire. End the evening by gazing at the starry night sky of the Sahara Desert

Day 2

EXPLORE MERZOUGA DESERT - ERG CHEBBI - NOMADIC LIFE

Your second day of the 3 Days from Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour begins with an early wake-up to admire the magical sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast at your desert camp, a full day of exploration in the Sahara awaits you.

We start with a 4×4 desert excursion around Merzouga. The journey takes you across the dramatic sand dunes and into the desert landscapes where nomadic families live in traditional tents. Visiting these families offers a unique insight into the authentic nomadic lifestyle of the Sahara.

Along the way, we stop at areas rich in fossils and minerals, a testimony to the desert’s ancient history. Then, we continue to Khamlia village, famous for its Gnawa music and African cultural heritage. Here you can enjoy a live performance and learn about the traditions of the local people.

After lunch in Merzouga or Khamlia, the afternoon is free for more adventure. You may choose to experience a camel trek at sunset, try sandboarding down the dunes, or enjoy an adrenaline-filled ATV quad biking tour in Erg Chebbi.

In the evening, return to your camp or stay in a traditional desert auberge. Enjoy another Moroccan dinner under the stars, Berber music, and the tranquility of the Sahara night.
