Overview:
5 Days from Fez to Merzouga and Marrakech : Sahara and Marrakesh tours depart from Fes, allowing visitors to experience the real Morocco, home to the continent’s highest and longest mountains (4,167 meters and 2,500 kilometers, respectively), the hottest desert (9.2 million square kilometers) and a population of Berber nomads, the region’s indigenous people.

Tour Plan :
DAY 1: FEZ–IFRANE–AZROU–ZIZ VALLEY–MERZOUGA:
“Best Morocco Private Tours” invites you on a Sahara desert excursion tour from Fez to learn more about Morocco. We go to Ifrane, which is often called the Switzerland of Morocco, and then we stop in Azrou.
It’s a village of Berbers in a cedar forest, where we can see monks living in the woods. Then we go to the city of Midelt, pass through Ziz Valley, look for fossils in Erfoud, and go to the souk in Rissani. Once we get to Merzouga in the desert, we get ready for a camel trek or ride in Erg Chebbi.
On this desert trek in Merzouga, an experienced camel guide will lead us through the sand dunes of Merzouga. Then we get to a camp in the Sahara desert where we have dinner around a campfire. You will also hear Berber music, and we will sleep in tents in the desert.

Today, a private Morocco tour starts in Merzouga with a 4×4 trip into the desert. We’ll go to the village of Khamlia, which is known for its Gnawa musicians. We will go see a family of Berber nomads who live in the Sahara desert. Later today, we will drive to the city of Rissani and visit the souk there. We drive back to Merzouga and get ready for our camel ride through the desert.
Merzouga is full of sand dunes that we will explore with the help of a camel guide who knows the desert well. When we get to Merzouga camp in the desert, we’ll cook dinner over a campfire. You will listen to Berber music, and we will spend the night in Merzouga in tents in the desert.
