2-Day Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour – Unforgettable Sahara Adventure

Begin your day with an early departure from Fes, traveling south through the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains.

• Imouzzer and Ifrane:
  Your first stop is Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its charming alpine architecture and pristine surroundings.
• Azrou and Berber Culture:
  Continue through Azrou, a mountain village whose name means "the rock" in Berber. Here, you’ll witness the traditions of the Berber people, who have preserved their way of life for generations. The cedar forests nearby are home to playful Barbary macaques—an excellent spot for photos and a short nature break.
• Mountain Passes and Oasis Views:
  Travel deeper into Berber sheep-breeding country, crossing the Col du Zad and the Tizi Talghemt Camel Pass. As you descend into the Ziz Valley, admire the lush Efous Oasis and pause to capture the beauty of this verdant landscape, dotted with ancient kasbahs and traditional Berber villages.
• Arrival in Merzouga:
  Upon reaching Merzouga, meet your nomad guide for an unforgettable camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. Ride for 1.5 to 2 hours through the golden sands as the sun sets, casting a magical glow over the desert.
• Overnight in a Berber Camp:
  Arrive at your desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional mint tea. After a delicious dinner, gather around the campfire to enjoy Berber music and drumming under a starlit sky. Spend the night in a comfortable Berber tent, surrounded by the serenity of the Sahara.
