Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Fes – Midelt – Merzouga

For the first step of our 2 days tour, we will start heading south on our journey to the Sahara desert. But first, we will go through the Middle Atlas region where we will meet the town of Ifrane (known for its unique weather and Ski resorts), the Azrou cedar forests (populated by wild Macaque monkeys) and then the town of Midelt. This is where the landscape will start turning into a more Saharian atmosphere, as we will reach the town of Errachidia where we will have lunch. Then we will continue driving through the massive palm groves of Ziz Valley, where you might want to stop to take photographs of the landscape. We will arrive at the nearby Rissani village, where we will walk around the local traditional souk, then have some Berber pizza for lunch. Then we will finally reach the town of Merzouga, the gateway of the Desert, where we will spend the night in a hotel.

Day 2: Merzouga desert 4×4 tour & Camel trekking

Today is a special day because it will be full of desert adventures. The first one of those will be a drive through the desert dunes in 4×4 vehicles, through which you will get to explore the volcanic fossil rocks. After that we will try and find a nomad family, so that you can chat with them and learn more about their way of life. Next up we will stop by the village of Khamlia, where you can watch some live spiritual Gnaoua music playing. Towards the late afternoon, we will start our camel trekking ride, in which you will get to ride on the back of a camel through the desert dunes. The camels will take us to the desert camp where we will spend an unforgettable night sleeping in Nomad tents, under the clear starry night sky.

Day 3: Ouarzazate / Marrakesh (126 miles)

After waking up in time to admire the beauty of the breathtaking desert sunrise, we will ride our camels back to the hotel at Merzouga to get a delicious breakfast and get the chance to shower. Make sure to enjoy every moment at the majestic desert dunes of Erg Chebbi as much as you can. Finally, we drive back to Marrakech, driving by Agdez village and Ouarzazate. This marks the end of our trip.
