Our driver/guide will pick you up from your hotel or the route in Fes at around 7:30 am. and begin our two-day desert excursion that goes from Fes to Erg Chebbi. We will travel to Merzouga by car on the first day, traversing the middle Atlas Mountains.

We’ll start our journey in “Ifrane,” a city dubbed “Morocco’s Switzerland” due to its Alpine chalet-style architecture and atmosphere. “Azrou” cedar forests will be our next stop. Barbary apes can be seen at the roadside, where you can pull over and take pictures. Then, winding your way through wooded peaks, winding mountain streams, gushing springs, and breathtaking, jagged rock walls as you pass over the fascinating Atlas Mountains, which are holding up the sky. In addition, we will reach Midelt, where we will stop for lunch (Optional).

Proceeding to Erfoud, you will drive through Tafilalt Oasis, thousands of towering palm trees, and fortified Kasbahs as you traverse Ziz Valley. Then on to Merzouga Erg Chebbi, where you will trek on camels through orange sand dunes to get to our camp in the Sahara desert. Your camel ride through the desert takes about two hours, with a stop at the top of a dune to witness a spectacular sunset, try out some sandboarding (optional), take in the scenery, and snap some photos.

You will then proceed to the camp, where you will be given a glass of tea upon arrival and be able to unwind until dinnertime. Following dinner, enjoy the starry sky, shooting stars, campfire, and sharing cultures and histories with the nomads while listening to some traditional Berber drumming music. Next, take a nap in your own desert tent.

The following morning, you rise early to witness what might be the greatest sunrise of your life at the top of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in the Sahara Desert, close to the camp. After breakfast, you will take a shower at the camp.

After that, you can choose to take a 4WD jeep safari or ride camels back to the pickup point in Merzouga village. First, we’ll travel to Rissani and stop by the town’s historic market.

After that, we continue our two-day journey through the Fes desert to Fes once more, stopping frequently for expansive vistas, pictures, and lunch breaks. Our two-day desert excursion from Fes to Merzouga will come to an end when we arrive in Fez that evening.
