Day 1: Fes → Middle Atlas → Ziz Valley → Merzouga Sahara Desert
Your unforgettable 2-day journey from Fes to the Sahara Desert begins at 8:00 AM, with a scenic drive that promises adventure, cultural discovery, and natural beauty. We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Fes and head south, weaving through the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains, a vast range stretching across 350 km of diverse Moroccan terrain.
Our first stop is Ifrane, famously known as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style architecture and clean streets. Then, we travel through Azrou, a lively Berber town nestled in a cedar forest where you might glimpse the native Barbary macaques.
As we descend, the landscape changes dramatically. We’ll pass through the sweeping vistas of the Ziz Valley, dotted with date palms and fortified villages. By late afternoon, we reach the edge of the vast Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga, where golden sands stretch to the horizon.
At the edge of the desert, prepare for a magical experience: a camel ride across the dunes as the sun sets, painting the sky with fiery colors. You’ll arrive at your luxury desert camp, greeted with traditional mint tea and warm hospitality. After settling in, enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner and gather around the campfire for live Berber music under a starlit sky — an unforgettable Saharan night awaits.
Day 2: Merzouga → Ziz Valley → Azrou → Fes
Wake early to witness the sunrise over the dunes, a truly spiritual moment as the golden light illuminates the sands. After a hearty Berber breakfast, ride camels back to the edge of the desert, where your driver awaits.
On the return journey to Fes, we retrace our path through the dramatic Ziz Gorges, stopping in Rissani, the historic cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. You’ll get a glimpse of ancient caravan routes and the atmospheric local souks. Passing again through Midelt, Azrou, and Ifrane, we’ll take a break at the Cedar Forest National Park to interact with the playful Barbary monkeys—a fun and memorable wildlife encounter.
By late afternoon, we arrive in Fes, where your driver will drop you off at your hotel or riad, marking the end of your 2-day desert adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact & Booking:
How can i book the 2 Days Fes To Merzouga Desert tour?
You can book the tour by contacting us. It is not possible to book directly for different reasons. First, we are specialized in private tours; therefore, we need to check if you would like to book the tour as it is or you have special requirements. Second, the price varies from one situation to another. Consequently, we need to give you the full details before you book. These are the main reasons why we like to contact us first.
Why there is no one price for the tour?
There is no one price because the tour is not a shared tour. The price varies based on the number of travelers, the type of accommodations, the itinerary…etc. for example, the price of 4 people traveling together will be cheaper than the price of two people. The reason behind that is that the 4 people share the car, the driver, and the guides, so logically the price per person will be cheaper. In addition, the type of accommodation also influences the price. A traveler asking for 5-star hotels will pay more than someone asking for 3 stars… Normally, we calculate the costs of each service before we deliver our quotation.
