Your Detailed 2-Day Desert Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Fes → Ifrane → Cedar Forest → Ziz Valley → Merzouga Sahara
Your 2-day tour from Fes to Merzouga begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel. We head south, climbing into the Middle Atlas Mountains to Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its alpine architecture. Our next stop is the ancient Cedar Forest of Azrou, where you can interact with the resident Barbary macaques. After lunch in Midelt, we'll continue our descent, marveling at the panoramic views of the Ziz Valley's lush palm groves. By late afternoon, we arrive at the edge of the Sahara. Here, you'll trade your 4x4 for a camel and trek into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes to witness a spectacular sunset. Your destination is a traditional desert camp, where a delicious Moroccan dinner and a night of Berber music await you under a breathtaking starry sky.
Day 2: Merzouga → Todra Gorges → Ait Ben Haddou → Marrakech
Wake up early to the serene beauty of a Saharan sunrise, a truly magical experience. After breakfast at the camp, you'll camel trek back to Merzouga to meet your driver. We then depart for Marrakech, with several incredible stops along the way. First, we visit the towering Todra Gorges, a massive canyon with sheer rock walls. Continuing our journey on the "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs," we'll stop for lunch before visiting the famous Ait Ben Haddou. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning fortified village that has been the backdrop for numerous films and TV shows, including 'Gladiator' and 'Game of Thrones'.
