Discover the magic of Morocco on a 3-Day Fes to Merzouga Odyssey. Journey from the historic streets of Fes through the stunning landscapes of the Middle Atlas and Sahara, experiencing authentic culture, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable desert adventures ,all in just three days.
Day 1: Arrival in Fes / Road to the Atlas Mountains & Desert Gateway
As soon as you arrive at Fes Airport, we’ll be there to welcome you. No stress, no confusion , just a friendly face and your journey already beginning.
We’ll drive south, leaving the city behind and heading toward the Middle Atlas Mountains. The air changes quickly , fresh pine forests, wide open roads, and peaceful countryside.
Our first stop is Ifrane, a mountain town that looks like a little Swiss village, where we can walk a bit and enjoy a coffee break.
We continue through Azrou, with its cedar forests and , if we’re lucky ,, monkeys relaxing in the trees. Then it’s on to Midelt, where we’ll have a relaxed lunch and a break before crossing into more arid, open landscapes.
As the afternoon sun begins to glow, we reach the Ziz Valley, a winding paradise of palm trees and oases. We’ll stop for photos and continue until we arrive in a quiet village near Merzouga.
Tonight, you’ll stay in a comfortable guesthouse or hotel, a place to unwind, eat a home-cooked dinner, and prepare for the magic of the dunes tomorrow.

Day 2: Entering the Sahara – Camel Ride, Desert Camp & Starry Skies
After breakfast, the real adventure begins. We drive a short distance to Merzouga, where the sand dunes rise like waves of gold in the distance. Here, the car stops… and the camels take over.
You’ll ride a camel into the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi, guided by locals who know every grain of sand. It’s peaceful , no horns, no engines , just the sound of wind and your camel’s footsteps.
By sunset, we arrive at a desert camp tucked between the dunes. You can climb a high dune for the perfect sunset view, or simply sit and soak it all in. After dinner, we gather around the fire for traditional music under a sky full of stars , more than you’ve probably seen in years.
Your tent is private and fully equipped , warm blankets, clean sheets, and deep silence all around.

Day 3: Sunrise in the Dunes / Return to Fes Airport
You’ll wake up early to catch the sunrise over the dunes , a moment that feels like a painting coming to life.
The drive back is beautiful and relaxed, with breaks for rest, food, and photos. By now, the landscapes feel familiar , but different. You see more. You feel more.
By late afternoon or early evening, we return to Fes Airport, right where it all started. We’ll make sure you arrive with plenty of time for your flight , and a heart full of desert stories.
