The 2 day Sahara desert tour starts with an early pick-up from the airport or your accommodation in Fez. Then we head south through Imouzzer to visit Ifrane, famous for its low temperature, snow, and alpine-style houses – No wonder it is called the Switzerland of Morocco. We then continue to the cedar forest, home to the Barbary macaques. Free time to feed them while wandering through the forest. We will proceed to Midelt later on, where lunch will be provided. Then we head to the Sahara desert, through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass, and along the Ziz river… In the afternoon we reach the Sahara of Merzouga. You will change to camels and cross the sandy desert. You will make a stop to enjoy the magical sunset on top of a high dune. Then continue to the luxurious desert camp, where you can enjoy the music of the Berber drums while dancing around the campfire, under a vast open sky of stars. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

Awesome Trip
I recently took a two-day trip from Fes to the Merzouga Sahara desert with Desert Merzouga Tours, guided by Lhoucine. His deep knowledge of Morocco enriched the journey, making the scenic drive through charming towns and viewpoints unforgettable. In Merzouga, the camel trek at sunset and a night under the stars were perfectly arranged, adding to the magic of the experience.
Desert Merzouga Tours exceeded expectations in every way, from well-planned accommodations to excellent hospitality. Thanks to Lhoucine’s leadership, this trip was truly memorable. I highly recommend it for an authentic desert adventure in Morocco.
Short but unforgettable
I just returned from an incredible 2-day tour from Fes with Desert Merzouga Tours. Despite the short duration, it was packed with unforgettable experiences. Our driver-guide, Hamid, was fantastic—knowledgeable and made the journey enjoyable. We crossed the Atlas Mountains, stopping at the Azrou cedar forest, where we saw wild Barbary apes, and admired the stunning Ziz Valley with its lush green palm groves against the arid landscape.
This Merzouga tour is perfect for those who are short on time but want a taste of the Sahara. The drive is long, but the stunning scenery makes it worthwhile. Highly recommend this trip!
