During this tour, you will enjoy a camel ride through the dunes of Merzouga, watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets in the desert, spend a night in a Bedouin camp and explore the charms of Fes on the way back. It will be a trip full of adventure, culture and unforgettable moments in the heart of the Moroccan desert.
On the first day of our 3 DAY TOUR FROM FES TO MERZOUGA AND BACK, we will pick you up at your hotel or riad around 8:00. To reach Midelt, we will travel through the highlands and cedar forests of the Middle Atlas.
We will pass through Ifrane, a captivating ski resort town. Cedar wood craftsmanship is the specialty of a remarkable craft center in Azrou that is worth a visit. Dinner will be served in Midelt.
Later, we will travel to the Sahara desert of Merzouga, passing the Ziz River, which rises in the eastern High Atlas and flows for 280 kilometers, carving its way through limestone rocks and creating magnificent gorges, with a flow ten times greater during floods.
The village of Merzouga, known internationally as the Merzouga Dunes, is located 50 kilometers south of the Erfoud dunes. The natural attraction is easily accessible and offers an extraordinary and moving experience.
You will ride a camel like a Touareg into the magnificent dunes of Erg Chebbi, where you will set up a makeshift camp for the night. You will dine on a traditional Berber feast and spend the night in a nomadic camel yurt.
After enjoying our breakfast, we will set off to explore the area. Our first stop will be the village of Khamlia, also known as the Gnaoua Village, where descendants of Sudanese slaves reside. We will have the opportunity to spend time with the locals, learning about their culture and experiencing the captivating rhythms of Gnaoua music. Before returning to Merzouga, we will enjoy a delicious lunch in the village.
In the afternoon, we will embark on a camel ride, venturing deep into the Sahara Desert. As we traverse the mesmerizing sand dunes, we will witness the breathtaking reflections of the setting sun and marvel at the celestial display of stars at night. Accompanied by the rhythmic beats of the Berber drum, we will arrive at our destination: a luxurious desert camp. There we will delight in a delicious dinner and spend a peaceful night immersed in the enchanting desert atmosphere.
Get up early in the morning and climb to the top of the dunes. You will witness the sunrise and experience the peaceful moments of the Sahara. After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drive through the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Back on the paved road, drive through the Ziz valley, full of palm trees and adobe kasbahs.
From here, you will head north to Midelt, nicknamed "the apple capital" and where you will have lunch. In the afternoon, you will cross the Middle Atlas through the Tizi-n-Talremt pass. We will then drive along a beautiful road lined with green oak and cedar trees to Azrou. Here you will be able to observe Barbary apes prowling through the trees.
From here, you will cross Ifrane, very remarkable for the sloping roofs of its houses. At the end of the day you will arrive in Fez, where you will conclude your desert route from Marrakech to Fez.
