Itinerary
Your 3-day Fes to Merzouga desert tour begins with an early pick-up from your accommodation or an agreed meeting point in Fes (Fez). Stop in Ifrane for a few photos and the fresh morning air, then continue to the Azrou cedar forest, where you may see Barbary macaques among the trees.
Enjoy the changing scenery as the Middle Atlas Mountains give way to drier plains and desert landscapes. Your driver can stop at safe viewpoints for photos, coffee and comfort breaks, with time for lunch around Midelt. Further south, pause for a panoramic view of the Ziz Valley and its palm groves.
Continue towards Erfoud and Merzouga, beside the Erg Chebbi dunes. Settle into a traditional auberge, built in the style of the region, for your first overnight. Relax and enjoy the Sahara atmosphere before tomorrow’s exploration.
Choose an early start for sunrise over the dunes or enjoy a more relaxed morning at the auberge. After a shower and breakfast, visit Khamlia to experience local Gnawa music.
Continue to Rissani for a glimpse of everyday desert culture. Explore the local market, visit Moulay Ali Cherif’s mausoleum where access permits, and try medfouna, the region’s traditional stuffed bread, for lunch.
If you prefer more time among the dunes, choose an optional quad bike, buggy ride or 4×4 dune tour instead of Rissani. These activities are not included and must be confirmed and paid for separately. The day can be adjusted around your interests and the time spent at each stop.
Return to Merzouga for a camel ride to your desert camp among the dunes. If you prefer not to ride camels, a 4×4 camp transfer can be arranged. Enjoy your second overnight in a tent in the Sahara.
Wake early to enjoy a final Sahara sunrise, followed by a shower and breakfast. Meet your driver and begin the return journey from Merzouga to Fes.
Travel north through the Ziz Valley and the landscapes around Midelt, watching the scenery change from desert plains and palm groves to mountain passes and cedar woodland. Photo, coffee, lunch and comfort stops can be arranged along the way at safe places, allowing for the day’s drive.
Cross the Middle Atlas Mountains and continue towards Fes (Fez). Your private three-day Sahara tour ends with drop-off at your accommodation or the nearest agreed vehicle-accessible meeting point. This is a full travel day, so keep your evening plans flexible.
