Leave Fes and embark on an unforgettable two-day round journey to the enchanting Merzouga Desert. Your journey begins early in the morning with a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Pass through the charming town of Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco,” and stop to admire the cedar forests and wild monkeys of Azrou. Continue through Midelt, a city nestled between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains, where you'll stop for lunch (not included).
As the landscapes shift dramatically from green mountains to arid desert, you'll pass through the Ziz Valley, known for its lush palm groves and panoramic viewpoints. By late afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Here, you'll meet your camel guide and ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes during sunset, a breathtaking moment as the sand turns golden.
Spend the night at a traditional desert camp where you’ll enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner, listen to Berber music around the campfire, and sleep under a sky full of stars in a private tent.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes before enjoying breakfast at the camp. Ride your camel back to the village and begin the return journey to Fes, retracing your path through the dramatic desert landscapes, valleys, and Atlas foothills. Arrival in Fes is expected in the evening, where your driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
This tour is perfect for travelers seeking a fast yet immersive desert adventure with stunning scenery, camel rides, cultural encounters, and unforgettable memories.
