Tour Details

Leave behind the labyrinthine alleys of Fes and follow the whisper of the desert wind. This 3-day journey is more than a road trip—it’s a passage through Morocco’s soul. Snow-dusted mountains give way to red-rock gorges, palm-filled valleys, and finally, the golden sea of Erg Chebbi. Along the way, you’ll meet monkeys in cedar forests, sip mint tea in Berber homes, and ride a camel into the sunset. Sleep beneath a sky embroidered with stars—and awaken with the desert breathing around you.

Itinerary

Day 1: From the City of Scholars to the Land of Silence

As the sun peeks over the rooftops of Fes, your journey begins—leaving behind the call of minarets and the maze of ancient medinas. You ride southward through the Middle Atlas, where the clean mountain air of Ifrane greets you like a European alpine postcard. Past cedar forests where Barbary macaques leap playfully, the landscape begins to shift. Through the apple capital of Midelt and down into the vast Ziz Valley, where palm trees ripple like a green serpent in the desert’s mouth, you arrive at the gateway to the Sahara: Merzouga. Here, the dunes of Erg Chebbi stand like golden waves waiting for your footsteps.

Day 2: Dance of the Dunes and Stars

With the first light casting shadows across the sand, the morning unveils a world that feels untouched by time. Spend the day with Berber nomads, sip tea in a woven tent, hear stories that have ridden camels longer than you’ve been alive. Come evening, a camel caravan awaits—your ride into the heart of the desert. As the sun melts into the dunes, you sway gently with each step toward your camp. Under an ocean of stars and beside a crackling fire, you dine to the rhythm of drums, your soul echoing the ancient pulse of the Sahara.

Day 3:Echoes of Sand and Stone

Dawn brings silence, a reverent stillness as the sky blushes over the dunes. After breakfast, you ride back—by camel or 4×4—to Merzouga, where your driver awaits. The return journey winds through the Middle Atlas foothills, where desert stone meets green valley and every curve holds a new surprise. You arrive in Fes as the call to prayer lingers in the air, carrying with you the scent of sand, the stories of stars, and the quiet wisdom of the desert.
