Itinerary:

Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Cedar Forest – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga

Your Sahara desert tour from Fes begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation or airport before we head south on an exciting adventure. 

Our first stop is the charming town of Ifrane, often referred to as “Morocco’s Switzerland” for its alpine-style architecture and cool mountain air.

Next, we visit the vast cedar forests of Azrou, home to the endangered Barbary macaques, a unique and playful species native to the region, and one of the best-known Old World monkey species.

After enjoying lunch in Midelt, we continue through the breathtaking Tizi N’Talghemt Pass, surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes. The route then takes us through the lush Ziz Valley,

lined with endless groves of date palms, perfect for fresh air, scenic views, and unforgettable photo opportunities.

By evening, we reach the Sahara Desert at Merzouga, where the golden dunes await. You may want to explore the sand dunes on foot, and catch the magical desert sunset.

Experience the magic of the desert with a restful night in a kasbah hotel.

Day 2: Explore Sahara – Khamlia – Nomads – Tisserdmine – Luxury Camp

It is highly recommended to wake up early and witness the magical sunrise over the Erg Chebbi

dunes, a truly breathtaking sight.

Return to your kasbah for breakfast. Then, explore the Merzouga region on an off-road excursion, following the iconic Paris-Dakar rally route.

Our first stop is Khamlia village, where you’ll experience the vibrant rhythms of Gnaoua music, a testament to the village’s sub-Saharan heritage. We’ll then explore an abandoned mine, a relic of the French colonial era, and visit nomadic families who still live in traditional tents. Share a cup of tea and learn about their unique lifestyle.

Afterward, we’ll journey to Tissardmine Oasis for a tranquil lunch in the middle of the desert’s charm.

Return to your Kasbah and prepare for an unforgettable camel trek to a luxury camp in the heart of the Sahara dunes. As the sun sets, you’ll arrive at your camp, enjoy a delicious dinner under a starlit sky, and spend the night in a comfortable nomadic tent.

Day 3: Merzouga – Erfoud –  Midelt –  Cedar Forest – Ifrane – Fes

Witness an unforgettable sunrise over the Merzouga dunes before enjoying a traditional breakfast. Afterward, return to Merzouga village, either by a camel trek or via a comfortable 4×4 vehicle ride.

We then get back on the road, heading first to Rissani. We visit the Moulay Ali Cherif Mausoleum and the famous traditional market, where locals still engage in the lively trade of livestock, including donkeys, sheep, goats, and camels. 

A quick stop in Erfoud allows us to see incredible fossils and polished marble items crafted by local artisans.
