Tour Itinerary
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.
Day 2: Merzouga Desert – Nomads Families – Tisardmin Oasis – Erg Chebbi
We wake up early to see the sunrise and then ride our camels back to Merzouga for breakfast. Today is dedicated to exploring the Merzouga desert and its culture. We will visit a Berber house to learn about their way of life and traditions.
We will also visit Khamlia village to experience Gnawa music, which has its roots in Ghana and Sudan. You'll be welcomed with a traditional cup of tea. We will also explore mines, visit Berber nomads, and see a beautiful palm oasis.
You'll have the chance to climb the Erg Chebbi dune, which is over 250 meters high, either by camel, sandboard, or on foot. After a day full of adventure, we will check into a hotel for the night.
Day 3: Merzouga Desert to Fez via Middle Atlas
After a comfortable night and a Berber breakfast, we will travel back to Fes. We will pass through numerous small villages and Berber shops, giving you a chance to buy traditional clothes and souvenirs.
We will visit wonderful and attractive places that we didn't see on the way to the desert, making the most of our last day.
We will spend the whole day enjoying the views before arriving in Fes, our final destination.

Reviews from TripAdvisor
The best tour guide you'll find!
I don't normally give reviews let alone 5 star ones but Hassan and his team have gone so far above my expectations from a tour company I thought they more then deserved it. As a Solo traveler I was or course concerned about safety. So what made me go with them? Morocco amazing destinations was responsive on the phone transparent and fair with their prices, but it was more than that. They gave me traveling tips and we're always a phone call away if I had a question or needed a place to stay. Unfortunately the first few days of my trip I was sick I wasn't feeling well enough to start the tour when I communicated this to the company their primary concern was me feeling better and enjoying my trip and they didn't even ask for a compensation fee even though they had driven all the way out there. I was really touched by this and called them a couple days later to continue the tour. The tour guide takes you in like one of his family showing you his home his community and tradition. Something I can say as an American we don't really have an abundance. The openness of the people to share what they have connect to you and how they live with one another was really an experience for me. If any of what I'm saying speaks to you book your tour with them and no further for a good experience in Morocco.
Do you want Quality Service? Would you like to feel welcomed? Choose this company, you won't be disappointed 🙏🏾🫶🏾
If I could rate this company with 20 stars that would not be enough!!! From the moment we arrived they treated us with so much respect and you can tell they take pride in the service they provide. Hamid my expert driver and friend was nothing short of extraordinary. His attention to detail and character blew me away. I found myself getting emotional any time he would go above and beyond to ensure my comfortability. Hamid I cannot thank you enough, you my friend are something special. To your boss Hassan, thank you for pairing me with this talented young man. We will be back God willing in July but ONLY if Hamid will accommodate us. I will name my son after him - The real Fatimah
Spectacular experience 100% recommended
The service of our guide Hassan has been excellent. At all times we have felt accompanied by him, feeling him as a friend who has made the journey with us and who has transmitted to us the passion for his work, his country, his people and especially his Berber culture.
