From Marrakech: 3-Day Trip to Fes via the Desert – Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco

EXPERIENCE

Discover the beauty of the Merzouga Desert on a guided 2-day excursion from Fes. Visit the charming mountain villages of Ifrane and Midelt, enjoy a delicious dinner at a nomad camp, listen to traditional Berber music, sleep in a tent under the stars, and witness the sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes.

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel or riad in Fes. Meet your driver and set off on your journey to the Merzouga Desert through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Your first stop will be in the town of Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco and a popular ski resort.

Next, you’ll stop in the heart of a vast cedar forest, where you can meet and feed the local population of Barbary monkeys. Continue to the town of Midelt for a lunch break.

Travel through the verdant Ziz Valley, making a final stop in the charming town of Erfoud, where you can purchase local dates. Upon arrival in Merzouga, your camels will be waiting to take you across the dunes. Try your hand at sandboarding, and witness a beautiful sunset as you make your way to the nomad camp.

Settle in for the night and enjoy a tasty dinner of traditional cuisine. Relax under the starry sky and gather around the campfire for a traditional Berber music show. After enjoying the serenity of the desert, retire to your luxury or standard tent.

Rise early the next morning for a breathtaking sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. Enjoy a delicious breakfast to start your day, then board the bus for your return journey to Fes. Make a few stops along the way before being dropped off in the city center.
