Our 3-Day Fes to the Desert Tour is a short yet a rich tour of the Moroccan Sahara Desert and its surroundings. With us, you will be able to see the insane landscapes of Erg Chebbi dunes as well as the fascinating views of the Atlas Mountains.
You will also be learning about the Moroccan and Saharian history and culture along your way. The highlights of this 3-Day Fes to the Desert Tour include taking you via the most famous Moroccan Gorges, and, of course, going camel trekking throughout the golden sand dunes in the town of Merzouga.
Our Fes to the Desert Tour starts after an early breakfast when you will begin your ascent across the famous Middle Atlas Mountains.
Most of the day will be spent winding your way through the beautiful forests, jagged rock faces, and Berber villages as you cross the Atlas Mountains and begin to descend toward the Sahara Desert.
Halfway, you will stop for lunch in the town of Midelt, famous for its fossils and rocks. Upon arrival at the Kasbah in Merzouga, a hot shower or dip in the swimming pool (depending on the weather) will be a treat after the drive. Then, an overnight stay in a hotel nearby the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi awaits you.
In the Moroccan Sahara desert of Erg Chebbi, our adventure will start at 11 am or earlier and go on a drive through the sand dunes. While driving on these fabulous landscapes, we will see plenty of nomadic black tents in the middle of nowhere.
We shall stop by a nomadic family to have tea and see what a nomadic life looks like. We dive to discover the nomadic life of Berber people and visit Khamlia, a village where nothing has changed through the centuries. Either we have lunch here in Khamlia village or we go back to our hotel and have lunch there.
After a while, we go on a camel ride to meet one of the most fascinating sights we will ever see, which is the superb sunset in the middle of the high dunes of Merzouga. You will spend the night in a Berber camp under the stars to enjoy the wonderful Sahara sky.
On the third and last day of our 3-Day Fes to the Desert Tour, we will wake up early to enjoy a magnificent sunrise on the dunes then take a camel ride back to the hotel. After freshening up and taking breakfast, we’ll leave for Fes city, one of the most ancient imperial cities of Morocco.
We will travel via the Ziz Valley and the Middle Atlas mountains as we depart the desert region to Fes. On our way, we will drive through the cedar forests of Azrou and stop to hand-feed the monkeys. We will continue via Ifrane, the ‘Switzerland of Morocco’ to arrive early evening to Fes.
That ends our 3-Day Fes to the Desert Tour.
