3 Days Tour from Fes to the Merzouga Desert

Day 1 – Fes – Middle Atlas – Cedar Forest – Midelt

The 3-day tour from Fes to the Merzouga desert begins with a morning departure from Fes. We leave the imperial city and head into the green regions of the Middle Atlas, characterized by surprising landscapes and a cooler climate.

Ifrane, the “Switzerland of Morocco”

The first stop is Ifrane, famous for its European-style architecture, orderly avenues, and alpine atmosphere. This town represents a surprising contrast with the rest of Morocco.

Cedar Forest of Azrou

We continue to the Cedar Forest of Azrou, the natural habitat of the famous Barbary macaques. Here it is possible to observe these animals in their natural environment and enjoy a break surrounded by nature.

Arrival in Midelt

In the afternoon we reach Midelt, a town located between the Middle and High Atlas, famous for its mountain landscapes and orchards. Overnight in a traditional hotel with dinner included.

Day 2 – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga (Sahara Desert)

After breakfast, we resume the journey south, gradually entering increasingly arid and fascinating landscapes.

Ziz Valley

We cross the spectacular Ziz Valley, one of the largest oases in Morocco, characterized by thousands of date palms and earthen villages. The panoramic views along this valley are among the most photographed in the country.

Rissani and Saharan Traditions

We make a short stop in Rissani, an ancient caravan city and cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. Here you can feel the authentic atmosphere of southern Morocco, far from mass tourism.

Arrival in Merzouga and Erg Chebbi

In the afternoon we arrive in Merzouga, gateway to the imposing dunes of Erg Chebbi, up to 150 meters high. This is one of the most spectacular deserts of the Moroccan Sahara.

Camel Excursion in the Desert

From Merzouga begins the evocative camel excursion among the dunes, an unforgettable experience culminating with the sunset in the desert, when the sand takes on golden and red shades.

Night in the Desert Camp

We reach the desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits us, followed by Berber music around the fire. Overnight in a private tent under an incredibly clear starry sky.

Day 3 – Merzouga – Return to Fes

The day begins early to witness the desert sunrise, one of the most emotional moments of the entire tour. After breakfast at the camp, we return to Merzouga by camel or 4×4.

Return Journey

We resume the route north, once again crossing the Ziz Valley, the Middle Atlas, and the mountain regions. During the trip there are panoramic stops and breaks for lunch.
