From Fes to Merzouga
Our 2-day adventure from Fes begins with a drive through the beautiful Middle Atlas mountains, stopping at Ifrane, often called Morocco’s “Switzerland.” Then we’ll visit Azrou, famous for its cedar forests, where you might spot playful monkeys. After a lunch break in Midelt, the scenery slowly turns into desert as you travel through the stunning Ziz Valley toward Errachidia. Finally, we will reach Merzouga and the golden dunes of the Sahara, where you’ll enjoy a camel ride. Then, end the day with a magical night in a desert camp.

We’ll start our day early to watch the stunning sunrise over the Sahara dunes, then enjoy a traditional breakfast before heading back toward Fes. Our first stop will be the lush Ziz Valley, and from there we’ll drive through the Tizi n Talghamt mountains to reach Midelt, the apple capital, where we’ll have lunch. After a nice break, we’ll continue to the cedar forest, hoping to see some monkeys and take fun photos with them.

What's the difference between standard and luxury desert camp?
- Standard desert camp:
The standard camp is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, back-to-basics desert adventure. It offers a rustic, budget-friendly experience.
The tents are comfortable and perfect for a nice sleep. The toilets and showers are shared with the whole camp.
- Luxury desert camp :
Luxury desert camps are definitely the best choice if you’re looking for a more exclusive and memorable stay in the desert.
Luxury camps are the best in offering premium comfort with spacious tents. Private bathrooms, different kinds of bed sizes ( king beds, double beds, twin beds, or single beds), and offering enhanced amenities like electricity, and Wi-Fi(though it may be limited due to the remote location).
Is it better to take a private or group tour?
- Group tours are cheaper but less flexible.
- Private tours offer more comfort and stop at your own pace.
