3 Days Tour from Fes to Sahara Desert

Your 3 days Sahara desert tour from Fes begins with an early pick-up from your accommodation or the airport in Fes. We then travel south through Imouzzer to Ifrane, a charming town often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” thanks to its clean streets, cool weather, and European-style architecture.

Next, we continue to the cedar forest of Azrou, where you may see the famous Barbary macaques. After some free time in the forest, we drive to Midelt for lunch. In the afternoon, we continue our journey عبر the Tizi n’Tilghmt Pass and along the beautiful Ziz Valley, known for its palm groves and panoramic views.

By late afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, where your camel trek begins across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Stop on the way to admire the magical sunset over the Sahara before arriving at your desert camp. Enjoy dinner, Berber music, and a peaceful night under the stars

Wake up early to enjoy a spectacular sunrise over the dunes, then have breakfast at the camp before returning to Merzouga by camel. Today is dedicated to exploring the fascinating Merzouga desert region.

Your journey starts with an off-road drive through the desert to visit a local nomad family, where you can learn about their traditional way of life while sharing a glass of mint tea. Then continue to Khamlia village, famous for its spiritual Gnaoua music, where you can enjoy a live performance.

After some free time for lunch, you will explore the palm grove and visit the seasonal Merzouga Lake, also known as the Flamingo Lake when water is present. This day offers a wonderful mix of culture, desert landscapes, and local life. Dinner and overnight stay in a hotel in Merzouga.

After breakfast, we leave the desert and head to Rissani, a historic town known for its traditional souk and as the former capital of Tafilalet. On market days, the souk is especially lively and offers an authentic glimpse into local life in southern Morocco.

Next, we continue to Erfoud, famous for its fossils and marble workshops, where you can visit a local fossil craft workshop. We then drive back through the scenic Ziz Valley, with stops for panoramic views and photos.

In the afternoon, we pass once again through Midelt, the cedar forest, and Ifrane before arriving in Fes, where we will drop you off at your accommodation or the airport. End of your unforgettable 3-day Fes to Sahara Desert tour.
