3-Day Tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert

Your 3-day journey begins with a morning departure from Fes toward Merzouga. As you travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, you’ll pass through picturesque Berber villages and stop in Azrou, home to Morocco’s famous cedar forest and playful Barbary apes.
After lunch in Midelt, continue through the scenic Tizi n’Talghamt Pass, admiring the panoramic views of the Ziz Gorges and Ziz Valley with its palm-lined oases. The journey continues south through Erfoud and Rissani before reaching Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert.
Here, your camel awaits for a memorable trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Enjoy a magical sunset before arriving at your Berber desert camp, where you’ll savor a traditional dinner and spend the night under a sky full of stars.

Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, then enjoy breakfast at the camp. Today is devoted to exploring the vast desert of Erg Chebbi.
You’ll visit the Tissardmine Oasis, known for its fossil sites, and meet friendly Berber nomad families to learn about their way of life in the desert. Continue to Khamlia Village, where you’ll enjoy traditional Gnawa music performed by locals whose ancestors came from Sub-Saharan Africa.
Spend the afternoon relaxing or walking among the dunes before another camel ride or transfer to your desert camp for dinner and an overnight stay in the peaceful Sahara.

After breakfast, say goodbye to the desert and begin your return journey to Fes. Pass through the Tafilalt palm groves and drive along the scenic Ziz Valley. Stop for lunch in Midelt before continuing through the Middle Atlas Mountains, with a short visit to Ifrane, known as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine architecture and clean streets.
Arrive in Fes by late afternoon or evening, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel—marking the end of your unforgettable 3-day desert adventure.
