3 DAYS TOURS FROM FES TO FES
Experience the magic of Morocco on this unforgettable 3-day desert tour from Fes to Merzouga, where you’ll explore stunning landscapes, ancient Berber culture, and the breathtaking Erg Chebbi dunes.
Day 1: Fes to Merzouga
Your journey starts with a drive from Fes toward the Atlas Mountains. We’ll stop in Ifrane, known as “the Switzerland of Morocco,” and explore the cedar forests, home to the playful Barbary apes. Continuing through the Tiz Ntalghamt Mountain Pass and the breathtaking Ziz Gorge, we’ll pause for photos and enjoy a cup of refreshing mint tea. As we drive through the Ziz Valley, we’ll pass by Erfoud and Rissani, stopping at a peaceful oasis before arriving at the Erg Chebbi dunes. You’ll spend the night in a cozy local riad near the desert.
Day 2: Exploring Merzouga Desert
Today, we’ll dive into the magic of the Sahara. You’ll explore the Erg Chebbi dunes, learn about the nomadic way of life, and visit the village of Khamlia to enjoy the soulful music of the Gnawa people. For lunch, we’ll savor a traditional Berber pizza in Rissani, the ancient capital. In the late afternoon, you’ll ride camels over the dunes to a desert camp, where you’ll spend the night under the stars, enjoying a traditional dinner and Berber music around a campfire.
Day 3: Merzouga to Fes
After breakfast, we’ll begin our journey back to Fes. Along the way, we’ll stop in Azrou to stroll through the cedar forests and, if we’re lucky, spot some wild monkeys.
