Our 4-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech at ToMerzouga starts in the imperial city of Fes, located in central Morocco, then we will drive to Merzouga via the Middle Atlas Mountains, while making a stop in Ifrane city, often called “the Switzerland of Morocco,” as it snows there and has European-like houses and buildings. Following our stop in Ifrane, we will make a pause in the Cedar Forest of Azrou, home to the famous Barbary apes ( a type of Monkeys). Next, we are going to carry on driving through the enchanting landscapes of Midelt, a small town situated at the foot of the Middle Atlas Mountains, before we arrive in Ziz Valley, known for its picturesque palm groves and ancient Ksars (fortified villages). In the late afternoon, we’ll get to Erfoud, the gateway to the Desert and a town known for its many fossil workshops. By sunset, we will finally arrive in Merzouga, specifically Erg Chebbi dunes . Once we get there, we will catch a camel into the the heart of the Sahara Desert. We will enjoy an amazing Desert sunset from the highest sand dune and take photos of that special moment. After that, our camel men will drop us off at the Desert camp for the night. At evening time, we will have a delicious dinner at the Desert camp & enjoy a music session around the camp fire before we call it a night.
On the second day of our adventure, we are going to explore the vast Sahara Desert of Merzouga on a 4×4 vehicle. First off, we will visit the Gnawa House, meet people who are originally from sub-Saharan Africa; we will enjoy listening to their unique style of spiritual music. After that, we are going to drive through the sand dunes and then stop by some nomad family for tea and a chitchat. It is an occasion where you will learn about their lifestyle and culture. All in all, we will have an amazing day in the Sahara Desert. Also, if you are interested in some of the Desert activities such as Quad/Buggy rides/ horse ride etc… we would be happy to arrange something for you, as we will make sure you make the most of your time visiting the Sahara Desert of Morocco with our ToMerzouga team.
On the third day of our adventure, we will rise early to enjoy a beautiful sunrise. After our delicious Moroccan breakfast, we will drive to Rissani, a small yet lively Desert town; it was once a major stop for Saharan caravans, and now it is a shopping destination thanks to its vibrant Souks ( markets). Next, we will continue to Todra Gorges, a paradise for climbers and nature lovers. Once there, we will walk between its towering canyons and enjoy some time by the Todra River. In the late afternoon, we will continue to Dades Valley, where we will spend the night.
On the last day of our 4-day tour, we will hit the road & drive through the Valley of Roses near Kelaat M’Gouna, known for its roses with a beautiful scent. Also, we could stop for a short visit to a local cooperative before arriving in Ouarzazate, also known as the little “Hollywood of Africa”, as parts of some famous films were shot there, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones etc… Following our stop in Ouarzazate, we will also head over to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, a historic Kasbah that looks surreal as though it came out of a storybook. We will walk through its narrow alleys and admire its mudbrick architecture as well as take many pictures. Later in the day, we will begin our drive again through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2260m) with its panoramic views, before we get to Marrakech, where our 4-day desert journey from Fes to Marrakech ends.
