In this concise 3-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Fes, you will see glimpses of the Moroccan Sahara Desert’s lifestyle. Not only that, but you will also spend the night and ride camels among the sand dunes of Merzouga & Erg Chebbi.
Let the Sahara Desert Tour from Fes start! We travel to Ifrane after breakfast by way of Imouzzer in the south. The city is renowned for its frigid climate, snowfall, and homes with an Alpine architectural style. That is the reason behind its nickname: Morocco’s Switzerland.
The Barbary macaques’ home is the cedar woodland, which is where we go next. You are welcome to feed them while exploring the forest. Later, we’ll go to Midelt for lunch. Then, after making stops for panoramic vistas, we continue on our journey to Merzouga via the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and the Ziz valley.
Then, in the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, a desert in the Sahara where you will ride camels to explore the desert. You will pause on top of a high dune to watch the sunset. Finally, you proceed to the camp, which is a hybrid of traditional nomadic tents and the elegance of a hotel.
You may dance around the campfire and listen to the melody of the Berber drums while stargazing beneath a huge open sky. Dinner and an overnight stay await you at the desert camp.
It’s a necessity to get up early in the morning to see the stunning sunrise amid the desert followed by a traditional Moroccan breakfast. The driver is waiting for you when you arrive back in Merzouga on camels. We spend the day touring the Merzouga area.
There are other magnificent features in the area, including dunes, natural lakes, mines, and fossil locations, as well as a fantastic oasis. These are perfect locations for a variety of outdoor sports.
In Merzouga, we begin our tour by driving off-road to an ancient eyeliner mine. Later, we pay a visit to the nomads in their handwoven tent. Learn about their way of life while sipping a cup of Berber tea! The Khamlia village is our next stop, where you will experience Gnaoua music and dancing performances. Its residents come from Sub-Saharan African nations such as Mali, Sudan, and Niger.
After a lunch break, we go for a walk in the palm tree grove. Once there, we continue driving a few miles to visit Merzouga’s wild lake, also known as Flamingo Lake. Have dinner and stay at a hotel overnight.
Consider witnessing the stunning sunrise in the middle of the desert as you awaken early in the morning. Breakfast is served before returning on camels to Merzouga to meet your driver.
After leaving the desert, we travel to Rissani, the former seat of Tafilalet government. Rissani remains a key trade hub in the region, with a bustling souk on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. We travel to Erfoud after a stroll through the Rissani souk and visit one of the fossilized marble factories.
Following that, we travel down the Ziz river and halt for a beautiful view of the Ziz valley. Later, we travel to Fes through the cedar forest and Ifrane. Finally, we will transport you to the airport or your hotel in Fes. That ends our Sahara Desert Tour from Fes.
