On the first day of your Fes to Merzouga Desert tour 2 Days, we pick up you from your accommodation in Fes in the early Morning leaving for the captivating desert of Merzouga. Discovering the Little Switzerland of Morocco is our first stop today. Ifrane is located in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Feel free to have a short walk in the city before we continue to Cedar Forst.
Here, the wild Barbary Macaques colonized the forest as their home after immigrating from Gibraltar. You are welcome to feed the monkeys, but we recommend exercising caution due to their potential for danger. We will take a break for lunch in Midelt, the apple capital. Later on, the Ziz Valley emerged as the second-largest oases in Morocco, following the Daraa Valley in prominence. Finally, in the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga. At the sand’s edge, we drop you off, mount your camels, and start crossing the dunes.
Stop at the breathtaking panorama to witness the magical view of the sunset, then continue on to the Desert Camp. Upon arrival at the camp, you will be welcomed by a mint teacup and a delicious dinner. Later, enjoy the desert vibes of Berber music around the campfire, and before you go to sleep, watch the stars away from the camp’s light.
The journey back to Fes from Merzouga is a scenic adventure filled with diverse landscapes and cultural highlights. Departing from the golden dunes of the Sahara, the drive takes you through the lush Ziz Valley, where palm groves and traditional kasbahs create a stunning backdrop. Passing through the towns of Errachidia and Midelt, you’ll traverse the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains, with opportunities to stop and admire panoramic views.
