The trip begins with an early morning departure for Merzouga, in order to accommodate passengers arriving late at night at Moulay Ali Cherif Airport in Errachidia. Before embarking on your Moroccan adventure, you will have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate over an overnight stay at a hand-picked hotel in Merzouga.

Once you have had breakfast at your hotel or camp, we will begin our 4×4 excursion through Merzouga to see various interesting sites near the Erg Chebbi dunes. We will stop at Hassi Labied oasis to observe its irrigation canal and land agriculture. From there, we will head south to the seasonal Sriji lake (if it is full). If you are interested in listening to the Gnawa music of the dark-skinned people who were brought to Morocco as slaves more than a century ago, we will continue to Khamlia village.
Proceeding from there, we will go on to M'ifis Canyon. On top of that, the Merzouga desert is well-known for its minerals and fossils, which attract tourists. On our 4×4 desert tour, we'll get to see a nomadic Berber family that lives in a tent in the middle of the Sahara. We can have mint tea with them and ask them about desert life.At several scenic overlooks, we will pause so that you may take in the vistas and capture them on camera. After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, we will return to the village. From here, you will begin on a camel trek to our Berber Camp in Merzouga.
The ride takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. During this time, we will stop on top of the dunes to watch the sunset. If you are interested, you can try sandboarding. After this beautiful break, you will be welcomed with a glass of tea and given time to relax until dinner. After dinner, we will listen to traditional Berber drumming music, admire the starry sky, and finally, you will have a place to sleep under a nomadic tent.
On the third day of your incredible 3 days from Errachidia to Fes, you will see the breathtaking dawn over the dunes near your tent, throwing golden colors that will transport you to another world. After this spectacular beginning, have a delicious breakfast and then get ready for the day's excursions by enjoying a refreshing shower at camp. After that, you may either take a relaxing 4WD transfer back to where you started on your adventure or continue on a camelback ride.
We pass through the gorgeous Ziz Valley on our way to Fes. This valley is situated along Morocco's second-longest river and has breathtaking scenery that will capture your senses. Take in incredible scenery as you wind your way through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping for a leisurely lunch at a picturesque café along the way.
As we make our way to Fes in the afternoon, we'll stop at the Azrou Cedar forest, where we may have a wonderful interaction with monkeys.
