Tour Plan
We kick off our 3 days tour from Fes to Merzouga bright and early from your hotel or riad in Fes. First stop? The lovely town of Ifrane, often called the Switzerland of Morocco. With its clean streets and European-style houses, it’s a surprise in the middle of North Africa!
Next, we drive through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains, home to the famous Barbary macaque monkeys. You can snap some photos and stretch your legs before we continue toward Midelt, where we’ll stop for lunch with a view of the mountains.
As the afternoon light softens, we enter the Ziz Valley, dotted with palm trees and ancient kasbahs. Finally, just before sunset, we reach Merzouga—the gateway to the Sahara Desert.
Here’s where the real magic begins. You’ll ride a camel across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun sets behind the horizon. Tonight, you’ll sleep in a cozy desert camp, enjoy local Berber music, and gaze at a sky full of stars.
Waking up in the Sahara is something you’ll never forget. You might even catch the sunrise over the dunes—it’s pure magic.
After breakfast, we explore the Merzouga region. You’ll visit nomadic families, learn about their way of life, and even listen to Gnawa music in the village of Khamlia. If you're lucky, you’ll spot desert foxes or flamingos by the seasonal lake.
Later, you’ll return to your camp or a nearby hotel (your choice) to relax. You can sandboard, ride camels again, or simply enjoy the peace of the desert.
By evening, we gather for a traditional dinner and another night under the stars.
On the final day of your 3 days tour from Fes to Merzouga, we begin the journey back with hearts full and cameras loaded.
We stop by Rissani, the birthplace of Morocco’s royal family and home to one of the country’s most colorful markets. It’s a great place to buy dates or handmade souvenirs.
Then, we drive through the Ziz Valley once more, pass through the Middle Atlas Mountains, and finally reach Fes in the late afternoon or early evening.
You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or riad with wonderful memories and a thousand stories to tell.
