Your journey Fes to Merzouga Desert begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel or riad in Fes. Travel through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Ifrane, the “Little Switzerland of Morocco,” before continuing to the Cedar Forest of Azrou, where you may encounter the famous Barbary macaques.
Continue to Midelt for a relaxing lunch, then drive through the breathtaking Ziz Valley, renowned for its lush palm groves and panoramic oasis views. By late afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the majestic Erg Chebbi Dunes.
Enjoy an unforgettable camel trek across the golden Sahara as the sun sets, leading you to a traditional Berber desert camp. After a warm welcome, savor a delicious Moroccan dinner, gather around the campfire for live Berber music, and spend a magical night beneath the stars in the heart of the Sahara Desert.
Important Note: If you would like to enjoy wine during your stay at the desert camp, please purchase it before arriving in Merzouga, as alcoholic beverages are not available in the desert camps.
Wake up early to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert. Before breakfast, you may enjoy sandboarding on the dunes surrounding the camp. After breakfast, collect your luggage and meet your driver, who will be waiting to pick you up in the desert.
Begin your desert discovery tour with a visit to local Berber nomad families living in traditional black tents. Experience their warm hospitality as you share a glass of freshly brewed Moroccan tea while learning about their unique way of life.
Continue your journey to the historic M’Fis (Mascara) Mine, an abandoned mining site located in the heart of the desert that offers fascinating insights into the region’s history.
Next, visit the village of Khamlia, renowned for its rich Gnawa heritage. Enjoy a live performance of authentic Gnawa music, a unique cultural tradition with deep African roots.
Afterwards, savor a delicious traditional Berber pizza for lunch before exploring the desert oasis and its lush palm groves, where local families cultivate their farms using ancient irrigation systems.
Arrive at your hotel in Merzouga at approximately 3:00 PM, where you can relax and enjoy the swimming pool or unwind at your leisure.
Optional Activity: If you would like to experience an ATV (quad bike) ride at sunset, your driver will be happy to help arrange this activity for an additional charge.
After breakfast at your hotel in Merzouga, begin your journey toward Todra Gorge, passing through traditional Berber villages and the scenic oasis of Tinjdad. Upon arrival, enjoy a walk through the spectacular canyon, where towering cliffs rise up to 300 meters, and stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, continue along the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, passing through the beautiful Skoura Oasis before arriving in Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Morocco.” Check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxing evening in this historic desert city.
On the final day of your 4-Day Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour, enjoy breakfast before visiting the historic Taourirt Kasbah and the renowned Atlas Studios, known as one of the world’s largest film studios.
