Spend an unforgettable night in an Amazigh desert camp on a 2-day trip to the fields of golden dunes near the village of Merzouga.
Description
Day 1: Fez – Ifrane – Azrou – Erfoud – Merzouga
Leave Fez in the morning and head to the village of Merzouga. Cross the Middle Atlas Mountains, known for its cedar woods and Barbary Apes. Admire Ifrane, noted for its architecture, and Azrou, a town in the Atlas.
After passing through the Ziz Valley and villages like Midelt and Erfoud, take a dirt road to Merzouga. Experience a camel ride at sunset and enjoy a Moroccan meal at a desert camp, where you'll stay in an Amazigh tent under the stars.
Day 2: Rissani – Ziz Valley – Middle Atlas – Fez
Wake early to see the sunrise from a dune. Return to Merzouga for breakfast and a shower (timing may vary). On the way back to Fez, visit Tafilalt and Rissani, known for its connection to the Alawite dynasty. Stop in the Azrou forests to see wild monkeys.
The tour concludes in Fez in the late evening.
