Itinerary

2 days/1night from Marrakech to fes via Merzouga desert

Day 1Marrakech - High Atlas mountains - Ouarzazate - Merzouga Desert (550 km)

We will pick you up at 6am your hotel in Marrakech to start our 2 Days Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech through the famous pass in Morocco ” Tizi-n-tichka ” 2260 M high where you will enjoy beautiful views of Bereber villages and mountain road. After 4 hours driving we will arriveWelcome to Morocco! Your 2 days Sahara desert trip starts here, we will pick up from your accommodation in Marrakech in the early morning, and depart to the High Atlas mountains, going through Tizi N´Tichka port with stops for panoramic views and taking pictures of the Berber villages and its beautiful landscape. Then we continue to Ouarzazate The Hollywood of Africa also known as “The gateway to the desert” that in the Berber language means “noiseless “. Here we´ll see the Taourirt kasbah, one of the most spectacular ksars in Morocco. The next site to visit is the Rose Valley going through the big Skoura palm grove a beautiful place to contemplate countless palms and numerous kasbahs that are built in the surrounding area we’ll stop for lunch. We’ll pass by Dades & Todra valleys, Tinejdad, Touroug and then we continue our way to the desert to reach the spectacular dunes of Merzouga. An hour’s camel ride weaving along the tops of the dunes brings you to your camp, with its Bedouin-style tents and thick Moroccan carpets to keep the sand from between your toes. A rich tajine is your dinner, eaten by candlelight. You’ll probably choose to drift off to sleep while watching the twinkling stars. Ait Ben hadou village where we will visit its Kasbah a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At this spectacular location, several movies such as Gladiator, Jewel of the Nile, and Sahara with Penelope Cruz, have been filmed. After the visit we will continue along a road dotted with many different kinds of beautiful Kasbahs, enjoying several stops along the way before arriving at one of the most impressive dunes of Merzouga around 5:30pm where you will take camel ride to camp to enjoy the spectacular sunset over the dunes. There will be entertainment before dinner and you will have the opportunity to climb the smaller or larger dunes and wish upon a falling star. Overnight at private tent in The Erg Chebbi Desert where it will be the highlight of your 2 days Sahara Desert Trip.

Day 2Erg Chebbi - Ziz Valley - Midelt - Middle Atlas – Cedar forest – Fes (470 km)

Rise with the dawn to watch the sun beginning its daily arc with a cool blue morning sky as it illuminates the desert shadows before becoming a glowing ball of fire. You’ll return to a local hotel, where a welcome hot shower and breakfast awaits. Afterward, we’ll travel to Fes via Errachidia along the magnificent Ziz Gorges carved through volcanic rock, and through the Tizi Ntalghamt Pass to Midelt. Stop in Zaida to enjoy a barbecue and refresh with a glass of mint tea then continue our journey to Azrou, a Berber village in the Middle Atlas Mountains, before which we stop to see the Barbarian apes in the famous Cedar forest. On to Ifran “the French village”, stop for a picture or a drink then drive to your accommodation in Fes where your 2-day desert trip Marrakech to Fes will be coming to an end. We truly hope you enjoyed your trip with our team!

NB: 

It is 10 hours drive from Merzouga dunes to Marrakech, as you’ll leave grumpy, tired, and let down. Morocco is a big country and getting from point to point often takes much more time than the map lets on. A 3 or 4 Day Desert Tours from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi is recommended simply because there are so many things to see and do besides camel trekking and a night in the Sahara desert camp, 2-day tour option can NOT cover everything.
