Your 4-day Fes to Merzouga Sahara adventure awaits! Traverse Morocco’s stunning landscapes, ride dromedaries across golden dunes, camp under the stars, and thrill to 4×4 desert drives. Experience a potent mix of adventure and culture. Fes, rich in history, provides the perfect launch and return for your journey.
Journey south from Fes, stopping at Ifrane, “Morocco’s Little Switzerland,” and the Azrou cedar forests to meet playful Barbary macaques. Traverse the stunning Middle Atlas Mountains via Midelt. After lunch, continue through the Ziz Valley’s palm groves to Erfoud and Rissani, arriving in Merzouga for a traditional tea welcome and overnight stay.
Discover Merzouga’s culture: visit a Gnawa village (experience their unique music), explore Miffis mines, and share tea with local Bedouins amidst the desert scenery. Rest at your hotel before an afternoon camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. Witness a breathtaking sunset, then enjoy dinner and an unforgettable night under the stars in a traditional Berber desert camp.
Greet the desert sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, depart for Tinghir and the dramatic Todra Gorge, Morocco’s highest and narrowest canyon. Enjoy a riverside walk, a short hike, and local Berber cuisine. After lunch with mountain views, continue through the picturesque Dades Valley, overnighting in the Dades Gorge.
After breakfast, begin your return to Fes. Drive through the lush Ziz Valley, pausing for tea and panoramic photos. Journey north via Midelt, with potential sightings of nomadic communities. Continue through the Middle Atlas, with another chance to see Barbary macaques in the cedar forests and enjoy coffee in charming Ifrane. Arrive in Fes late afternoon, concluding your 4-day desert adventure.
