Resumen
A 3-Day tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert and Return. Three days and two nights in which to discover many incredible sites across a span of time too small to do justice to all they have to offer.

Don’t miss those magnificent sunset and sunrise views across the Sahara. We also discover the Merzouga desert by 4×4, then take some time to visit the authentic market in Rissani, with Erfoud known for its fossils.

Itinerario
Día 1: Fez – Ifrane – Bosque de los Cedros – Midelt – Valle del Ziz – Merzouga (Sáhara)
El 3-day tour from Fes to Merzouga Sahara Desert will start with an early pickup from the airport or your lodgings in Fes. From here, we will set off south, passing through Imouzzer to stop in Ifrane, famous for chilly weather, snowfalls, and its architecture with alpine-style houses, so the name “Switzerland of Morocco.” From here, we begin heading toward the cedar forest, where the Barbary Macaques live. During your stroll in the woods, feel free to give them a few peanuts. Afterward, we drive to Midelt for lunch. From there, we press on to the Sahara, crossing the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and following the Ziz River.
In the afternoon, on arrival at the Sahara region of Merzouga, you will switch to camels and trek across the sands. From there, we shall head to a vantage point on a high dune for breathtaking views of the sunset. Afterward, they will lead you to a luxury desert camp for an evening of drumming, dancing around the bonfire, and stargazing. Dinner and the overnight stay will be in the camp.
Day 2: Explore Merzouga region – Nomads – Khamlia – Merzouga lake – Erg Chebbi – Palm Grove
The morning sun illustrates an immense beauty over the unmoving desert expanse, and rising before dawn is the way to see it. Breakfast follows. Our camel ride returns us to Merzouga, where our vehicle will be waiting. We shall spend the day discovering the Merzouga surroundings, from towering dunes to a serene wild lake, from mining ruins to solid fossil sites, and some spectacular oases are great for a lot of outdoor activities.
The Merzouga exploration heads off-road to an ancient mine for kohl mining. Please stop to engage in some local nomadic activities in their traditional tents; here, you can learn about their lifestyle and share some Berber tea. The next stop is the village of Khamlia, where participants will be entertained with Gnaoua music and dance performances. These people originate from sub-Saharan countries like Mali, Sudan, and Niger. Lunch will be at a local restaurant, followed by a stroll through a palm grove. Driving for a short distance will take us to Merzouga wild lake, also known as flamingos lake. We then go for dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Erfoud – Ziz valley – Ifrane – Fes
After breakfast, we depart from the desert and head towards Rissani town, previously the capital of Tafilalet. Rissani still is, even nowadays, an important commercial center of the area with a lively market on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. After discovering the Rissani souk, we continue our trip to Erfoud to visit a factory for fossil marble.
Then we drive along the Ziz River, stopping at viewpoints to admire the stunning panorama of the Ziz Valley. We continue through the cedar forest and Ifrane and reach Fes.
