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

Your 4 Days Tour 4 Days Tour Fes to Merzouga starts in the early morning with a pick up at your place of stay. Immediately we begin a descent into the cooler Middle Atlas Mountains where you initially pull in the town of Ifrane with its perhaps Monette Switzerland look. We then head into the old cedar woodland close to Azrou and you will always come across the road-blocking Barbary Macaques–a fun filled occasion in the Atlas sport. We pass on by Midelt, the so-called Apple Town.
Thus, the landscape changes in the direction of the south and provides us with the fantastic and panoramic sight of the great palm groves and ancient Kasbahs of the Ziz Valley. We finally reach Merzouga which is the entrance to Erg Chebbi. This is where you encounter your guide and camels. The afternoon is topped off with a camel adventure into the center of the dunes to the sunset, which gives the great beginning to your Morocco Desert Tour with the dinner and overnight in a good quality desert camp.
I would never cease to suggest to the traveler to keep his ear open because when the camel ride ends, the sound of the engine is heard less; and the silence of the Sahara is simply overwhelming. A former voyager, standing on the high dune and seeing the sun go down, was reduced to uttering nothing but a mumbled volume of the colors being a master work of painters. This is the distinguishing view of the 4 Days Tour to Fes to Merzouga.

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

It should be the second day, and you need to rise early in the morning to take pictures of the magical sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes- the moment that shapes up all Desert Trips Morocco. Then, you have breakfast, shower and take a pleasant ride back to the village (or 4×4 transfer). We spend the entire day of the day we are in the Merzouga region today in a personalized experience. We go on the off-road trip to Khamlia village where you listen to the enchanting sounds of Gnawa music by the local musicians who are descendants of slaves who were brought to sub-Saharan Africa.
Then we find an isolated nomad family. The great experience of sharing mint tea in their traditional tent will have a rare intimate feel of their strong desert life and the traditional culture of Morocco Desert Trips. We also go to the M’fis mines which is an unattractive scenery that reveals the geological background of the land. And lastly, you have a pleasant afternoon and the second night in a good hotel or riad at the very edge of the dunes, just as you are about the journey tomorrow.
The Gnawa musicians in Khamlia have a deep, hypnotic beat which always seems to be the real beat of the desert. I have once encountered a traveller, who read books about the nomads, but was surprised by how warm and simple their lives can be; this personal experience is invaluable. This day-long deliberate choice validates the E-E-A-T of this 4 Days Tour Fes to Merzouga.

Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Todra Gorge – Dades Valley (Approx. 255 km)

Following a last breakfast with the dunes in view, we leave towards the gorgeous gorges. We start with a visit to the ancient capital of the Tafilalet region, Rissani, where you are taken through the old tradition-filled souk that seems to be the place you travel in time. Then we head out to Tinghir, the entrance to the theatric Todra Gorges. You will not fail to enjoy the gradual descent into the sheer, massive canyon walls of Todra, which are a natural sightseeing experience among the rock climbers and the hikers. Here you pause to walk a mile on the cool stream.
Then on to the Dades Valley, where there are specifications of marvellous rock formations, commonly called Monkey Fingers, and a winding road. You enter your hotel, which is located at the edge of the valley, have dinner with a demonstration of an amazing sunset. This is the planned break that will make the difference and turn your Fes Tours into a leisurely exploration rather than a fast drive.
When I pass through Todra the scent of fresh oregano and mountain air combined with the cool stream water always comes to mind. The heights of the cliffs are so acute, they are like cathedral walls. This is the essential third day on the 4 Days Tour through Fes to Merzouga, which would otherwise be impossible in short tours, which lacks the geographical and historical context of the same.

Day 4: Dades Valley – Midelt – Azrou – Fes (Approx. 472 km)

Have your last mountain breakfast then start the final leg of your 4 Days Tour from Fes to Merzouga on the way back north. We first take the Dades Valley where we make a last look then head towards the High and Middle Atlas ranges. Morevoer, we pause at Midelt at lunch, or some pretty neighboring Berber town such as Zaida, and allow you time to consider your tour. We then proceed to drive back through the Atlas Mountains Tour, which is scenic and passing the Tizi n’Talghamt pass again. At last we leave the dry and rocky vistas of the Caaba to reach the green cedar forest of Azrou in a last effort to see the Barbary Macaques.
After visiting Ifrane and appreciating its architecture that is designed in the European architectural style, we get to Fes once again after about 6 p.m. We will safely put you down at your accommodation, and that is the end of your full desert adventure.
Coming back is not a mere drive, but a visual overview of the diversity of the nation, passing through the sun-baked sand and rock and then on to the cool and green mountains. One of the travelers has remarked that upon seeing the same scene twice, once falling down, and once climbing up, was a way to fully describe the grandeur of their Trips In Morocco.
