Day 1: Fes – Ifrane – Cedar Forest – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Desert (Approx. 465 km)

Your 3 Days Fes to Merzouga Desert High Adventure Tour starts with a pick up at an early morning. We instantly lose the landscape as we ascend into the cool and green Middle Atlas Mountains. You will visit Ifrane in the first place where you will be enthralled by the peculiar alpine architecture that is the reason why it is called the Switzerland of Morocco. Thence we turn off to the well-known Cedar Forest by Azrou, and sure enough you will always see the interesting Barbary macaques in the old trees. Our Atlas Mountains Tour goes on to Midelt, which is famous as the Apple Town. When we get down the real journey in the desert starts.
So you come to the Ziz Valley, where you get out to look down on the mighty palm oasis leading its green thread through the rock. Also, passengers always inform us that this view is memorable! And at last we arrive at Merzouga where you find your camel driver. Your Morocco Desert Trip will be capped off as you get taken on a camel ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset and your long and rewarding day ends with dinner and an overnight stay at a Luxury Trip To Morocco desert camp.
You still remember the dramatic change in the light in the gorge of the Ziz Valley the orange rock and green palms are so bright they half blinder you. The silence of the camel road at that point is the indication of the depth of the beginning of your 3 Days Tour of Fes to Merzouga Desert.

Day 2: Merzouga Desert Exploration – Nomads & Gnawa Music (Approx. 80 km)

Get up early in the morning and climb the nearest dune and shoot the amazing desert sunrise, something that can be experienced in any Desert Tour Morocco. A good breakfast taken in the camp will be followed by the opportunity to ride your camel or even a comfortable 4×4 to the village of Merzouga. We spend the whole day today visiting the little nooks and corners of the dunes. You will commence with an off road Desert circuit which will take you to the old mines of Mfis and the seasonal Dayet Srji lake (home to flamingos following downpour).
Moreover, we also relate to a nomadic family of Berbers in their tent made of wool, where we have tea of the indigenous Berber whiskey and we learn about their hardy existence in the desert. We then drive to Khamlia village where you listen to the intriguing, rhythmic music- Gnawa, an influential heritage that is originated in sub-Saharan countries. This day of Fes to Merzouga Desert 3 Days Tour is culture enriched. The second night will be spent in a nice riad or hotel on the fringe of the dunes preparing to leave in the morning. The Gnawa music played in Khamlia is very moving in its deep, trance-like rhythm, a throbbing heartbeat of the culture concealed in the desert.

Day 3: Merzouga Desert – Rissani – Ziz Valley – Fes (Approx. 465 km)

Having one last desert breakfast, head back on your 3 Days Tour Fes to Merzouga Desert. We begin by paying a visit to the historical Rissani, the former capital of Tafilalet region with its lively traditional souk (market). It is especially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, that this extensive market is bustling. We proceed to Erfoud, whose marvelous deposits of fossilized marble workshops are an intriguing short visit. We then back through the graceful Ziz Valley where, on our last glimpse, the enormous date palms are looked down upon in another view. In Midelt or Zaida, we take lunch and enjoy the grilled meats found in the roadside. We end up crossing the Middle Atlas and the Cedar Forest one more time after which we reach Fes at around 6 p. m. and that ends your memorable Fes tours In Morocco at the exact place of accommodation.
The ancient splendor of the Rissani souk with its spice pyramid and the overwhelming aroma of mint makes the centuries of the Moroccan history of trade come alive. It is the ideal, exotic ending preceding the great journey back to the Imperial City of Fes.
