Day 1: Fez – Ifrane – Midelt – Erfoud – Rissani to Camel Ride in Merzouga Desert

After breakfast in Fes, we begin our journey towards the Merzouga desert. We will pass through Ifrane, known as the 'Switzerland of Morocco', and Azrou, a Berber town in the Cedar Forest where you can see Barbary monkeys.

We continue through the Middle Atlas mountains, passing through the Tizi N Talghmet pass to Midelt. We will then travel through the Ziz Valley, the largest oasis of palm trees in Morocco, and the town of Erfoud, famous for its fossils.

Upon arrival in Merzouga, you will embark on a camel trek into the desert to witness a spectacular sunset. The day ends with a night in an equipped desert camp, enjoying Berber drums under a canopy of stars.

We wake up early to see the beautiful sunrise over the desert, then ride our camels back to Merzouga for breakfast.

After breakfast, we will travel back to Fes, passing through numerous small villages and Berber shops, giving you a chance to buy traditional clothes and souvenirs.

Reviews from TripAdvisor

The best Berbers in the desert

"100X100 recommended, Both Hassan and Hamid amazing, has not been my first experience but if the best, you live exactly what life is in the desert and I will definitely repeat with them I have no doubt. He offered us at home a real Berber meal, very hospitable family. We adore you"

Excellent trip from Sahara to Marrakech

"We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our route through Morocco, thanks to our guide Hassan, who not only showed us spectacular places, but also opened the doors of his house and got to know the authentic Berber culture. It's a lovely family"
