Spend an unforgettable night in an Amazigh desert camp on a 2-day trip to the golden dunes near Merzouga.

2-Day Trip Details

Day 1: Fez – Ifrane – Azrou – Erfoud – Merzouga

Depart from Fez in the morning towards Merzouga. Cross the Middle Atlas Mountains and see the city of Ifrane, known as Morocco’s “Little Switzerland”, and Azrou, a town in the Atlas. Continue through the Ziz Valley, passing villages like Midelt and Erfoud, reaching Merzouga.

As the sun sets, ride a camel across the golden dunes to a traditional desert camp, where a Moroccan meal awaits. Overnight in a comfortable Amazigh tent.

Day 2: Rissani – Ziz Valley – Middle Atlas – Fez

Wake early for a sunrise from a dune, then return to Merzouga for breakfast and a shower (this may occur before the camel ride). On the return journey to Fez, visit Tafilalt and Rissani, the historical home of the Alawite dynasty, and stop at Azrou to see wild monkeys.

The tour concludes in Fez in the late evening.
