Merzouga Desert 2-Day Trip

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

After meeting in Fez or being picked up from your hotel, we will leave the city and travel into the depths of Morocco. We will cross the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through villages such as Ifrane and Azrou, an Amazigh town. We will then continue through the Ziz Valley and the Ziz Gorges to Erfoud, from where we will head into the desert towards Merzouga.

As evening approaches, we will ride camels to our camp. Upon arrival, we will have dinner under the moonlight, enjoying the quiet and the starry sky of the Moroccan desert.

Day 2: Merzouga - Rissani - Alni - Tizi N'Tfrkhin - Ouarzazate - Marrakech

Before sunrise, we will wake up to witness the sunrise in Erg Chebbi. After this, we will return on camels to a hotel for breakfast and showers (depending on the selected camp). We will then journey to Marrakech, passing through the palm grove of Tafilalet and Rissani.

Continuing past plateau areas and deserts, we will reach Alnif and travel through the Anti Atlas mountains, Tizi N'tfarkhin, and visit Tinghir and the Dades Valley.

Around noon, we will stop at Klaat M'Gouna for lunch before heading to Marrakech. On our way, we will admire Ouarzazate and the High Atlas Mountains.

We will arrive in Marrakech around 8:30 pm to conclude our experience.
