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, crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains and its cedar forests inhabited by Barbary Apes. The journey includes the town of Ifrane, known for its architecture and as a ski resort, and Azrou.

Travel through the Ziz Valley and past villages like Midelt and Erfoud. From Erfoud, take a dirt road to reach Merzouga. Enjoy a camel ride during sunset, leading to a desert camp for a Moroccan meal and overnight stay in a comfortable Amazigh tent.

Awake early to watch the sunrise from a dune. Afterward, ride back to Merzouga for breakfast and a shower (depending on the camp type, breakfast may occur before the camel ride).

On your return to Fez, visit Tafilalt and Rissani, the historic home of the Alawite dynasty. Stop in the Azrou forests to see wild monkeys. The tour concludes in Fez in the late evening.
