ITINERARY

DAY 1: Fez – Ifrane – Midelt – Ziz Gorges – Erfoud – Rissani – Merzouga

The morning of this 3 day desert tour from Fes we will pick you up at your accommodation in Fes and set off in the direction to the Merzouga Desert. On the way we will pass through Ifrane, the capital of a Jewish Kingdom in the distant past, then to the Ziz Valley. Starting just south of the Middle Atlas town of Rich and about 30km north of Er-Rachidia, the tremendous Ziz Gorges provide a rocky passage south through the Tunnel du Légionnaire.

Keeping On our way we will traverse the famous and largest cedar forest in Morocco, where you may very well see Barbary apes. The journey continues along the Ziz Oasis, stopping for panoramic views along the way. The landscape is dotted with welcoming berber villages, some of which still keep a nomadic lifestyle. We will arrive at Erfoud and then Rissani, a major commercial center in the region, with a large souk, an Arab bazaar, which is particularly lively on Tuesdays and Sundays. Soon after you will see the first dunes welcoming you to the Sahara Desert.

Once in Merzouga you will have dinner and spend the night in a typical resort with a swimming pool situated by the dunes.

DAY 2: Discovering Erg Chebbi Desert

After breakfast we will start an approximately half-day trip into the desert to pass through various small villages like the Khamlia village where the local people of black African origins play Saharan drums, you will have the chance to see them playing in one of their “music houses”. You will also see a lake next to this desert and the oasis in which berber families in the area grow different vegetables under the date palms you briefly visit Rissani, the first capital of the Alouite dynasty, the current Moroccan royal family.

In the afternoon we will ride camels crossing the sand dunes until we reach the luxury desert camp. The ride crossing the dunes is a great adventure and takes around 1 hour but you can choose to get to the camp by car .You will watch the sunset in the dunes for sunset, which is a great opportunity to photograph this magical scene. When we get to our Merzouga luxury desert camp, you’ll have time to walk to admire the sand dunes. In the desert the time stops and you feel a deep tranquility. We will have a typical berber dinner with Berber drumming around a campfire and you’ll have free time to walk to the nearest dunes to watch the stars. You can find more information about the Sahara experience here.
