Full description

Experience life in the Sahara Desert on a small group tour to the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Ride a camel across the sands and watch the sunset along the way. Drive across the winding roads of the Middle Atlas Mountains and much more.

Day 1: Fes - Ifrane - Midelt - Merzouga

Depart Fes and pass through the winter ski resort of Ifrane, built by the French in the 1930s to resemble a Swiss village. Continue through the cedar forest of Azrou and look for the resident monkeys before your drive across the Middle Atlas Mountains. Wind your way through beautiful forests, mountain springs, jagged rocks and Berber villages before your descent to the Sahara Desert. Stop for lunch half-way in the town of Midelt, famous for its fossils and rocks. Then, continue towards Merzouga taking in the panoramic views of a huge oasis of palm trees at Ziz along the way. Upon arrival in Rissani, travel by 4WD vehicle into the desert, reaching Merzouga in the afternoon. Here, your guide will be waiting with the camels that will take you across the dunes to Erg Chebbi.

Watch the sunset from the back of your camel on a one-hour trek to a Berber camp. Upon arrival at the desert shelter, your camels will be tethered as you are served a welcome mint tea. Enjoy dinner and relax as you look at the stars in the sky. Stay overnight in your choice of a shared, private standard, or private luxury tent.

Day 2: Merzouga - Tafilalte - Fes

Wake early and walk across the dunes to watch the sunrise from just behind the Algerian border, about 50 kilometers from Merzouga. Take a shower after and enjoy breakfast before the drive back to Fes, and benefit from comfort stops on the approximate 7-hour journey.

the desert stay itself was great, the camp was wonderful and the staff there fantastic, although I would have liked to have been on the camels longer than 30 minutes. the journey to and from the camp was extremely long and underestimated significantly with the return journey 14 hours! too long for 1 day which wasn't clear on the details

This is a great experience to visit the desert! Although I did a round trip to a Fes, this is also an excellent way to get from Fes to Marrakesh or vice versa, as you get to see so much of the country on the way. The agency was flexible with me getting dropped off in a different city on the way back, which really facilitated my travel plans. Only downside was that there was not a ton of communication - the person you drive with for 8hrs hands you over to someone else for the last few km, then to someone else for the camel ride, then to another person for the camping. Everyone at the camp site goes to different places the next day, so it is a bit chaotic - but fun nevertheless.
