Your 3 Days From Fes To Merzouga journey begins with a morning departure from Fes. Ascend through the Middle Atlas Mountains to Ifrane, often called “Little Switzerland” for its alpine architecture.

In the afternoon, travel along the breathtaking Ziz Valley, admiring its vast palm groves, dramatic gorges, and fortified kasbahs. Reach Erg Chebbi by evening and relax over dinner at a comfortable hotel or kasbah near the dunes.
After breakfast, immerse yourself in the desert region. Visit the historic town of Rissani to explore its vibrant traditional market, a key trading hub for centuries. Return toward the dunes of Merzouga to meet your camel caravan. Set out on a sunset camel ride across the golden sands of Erg Chebbi. Arrive at your desert camp, enjoy a warm Moroccan dinner around the campfire accompanied by traditional Berber music, and spend a night under a sky full of stars.
Wake up early to witness a memorable desert sunrise over the dunes before enjoying breakfast at camp. Ride your camel back to the main base or travel by 4×4.
