2 Days Desert Tour From Fes to Merzouga

Your 2 Days Desert Tour From Fes to Merzouga begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Fes, around 08:00. Leave the city behind and head south through the beautiful landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Make your first stop in Ifrane, a charming mountain town known for its clean streets, red-roofed buildings, and cool alpine atmosphere. Continue toward the cedar forests around Azrou, where you may have the chance to see the local Barbary macaques among the ancient trees.

The journey then continues toward Midelt, a mountain town famous for its apples and surrounded by impressive scenery. Take a break here for lunch before continuing through the dramatic landscapes leading toward the Ziz Valley. As you travel farther south, the scenery gradually changes, with rocky valleys giving way to extensive palm groves stretching along the oasis.

Arrive in Merzouga during the afternoon, where your camel team will be ready for the next part of your adventure. Ride across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes as the afternoon light transforms the Sahara landscape. Stop at a high point in the dunes to watch the sunset before continuing to your desert camp.

At camp, enjoy a warm welcome followed by a traditional Moroccan dinner. Spend the evening around the campfire listening to local music and enjoying the peaceful desert atmosphere beneath the stars. Your main luggage will be transported separately by 4x4 and will be waiting for you at the camp.

Wake up early to experience one of the most beautiful moments of the trip: sunrise over the Sahara dunes. Watch the first light spread across Erg Chebbi before returning to camp for breakfast.

After breakfast, leave Merzouga and travel toward Rissani, an important historic town in the Tafilalt region. If your visit falls on a market day, you can explore the lively traditional souk and see local products, produce, and everyday Moroccan life.

Continue to Erfoud, well known for its fossil products and its location near the Ziz Valley. The road then follows the valley and its palm-filled oases before climbing back through the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Enjoy the changing scenery along the return journey, from desert landscapes and rocky plateaus to mountain roads and greener surroundings as you approach Fes. Arrive back in Fes in the late afternoon or early evening, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation, bringing your 2 Days Desert Tour From Fes to Merzouga to an end.
