Take a short break to enjoy the fresh air and maybe a cup of coffee before continuing to the cedar forest of Azrou in the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you can see Barbary monkeys.

Next, drive through the beautiful landscapes of Midelt and the Ziz Valley, a lush area full of palm trees, before reaching Merzouga in the afternoon. Settle into your riad and admire the golden Erg Chebbi dunes that surround the town.

Day 2Camel Ride & Desert Exploration in Erg Chebbi

Wake up to a delicious breakfast at your riad before starting an exciting day in the Merzouga desert. Your first stop is Khamlia, a small village where you can listen to Gnawa music, a unique rhythm played by locals whose ancestors came from Africa. Then, take an off-road drive to M’Fis, an abandoned mining village.

After that, visit a nomadic Berber family living behind the Erg Chebbi dunes. Enjoy a cup of tea with them and learn about their traditional way of life.

In the afternoon, embark on a camel ride across the high dunes. Stop on a big dune to try sandboarding and watch a breathtaking sunset. Arrive at your desert camp, where you will have dinner, listen to traditional drum music, and spend the night under the starry sky.

If it’s a market day in Rissani (Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday), you can visit a local souk where people sell spices, handmade crafts, and street food. There will be plenty of stops along the way to take pictures and learn about the local traditions.

Morocco Desert Tour From Fes FAQ

How long is the camel ride in the desert?

The camel ride to the desert camp takes about 1 hour each way. If you prefer, you can take a 4×4 instead of riding a camel.

What should I pack for this Fes to Marrakech desert tour 4 days?

You should bring comfortable clothing, walking shoes, warm clothes for the night, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, a small backpack for personal items, and a camera or phone to capture the beautiful desert scenery.

Can I ride the camel if I have back or knee problems?

If you have back or knee issues, you can skip the camel trek and take a 4×4 vehicle to the desert camp instead. Let us know in advance, and we will arrange a comfortable transfer for you.

Will there be vegetarian or special meal options?

Yes, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meal options are available. Please inform us of any dietary requirements when booking.

What is the best time to take this Morocco desert trip?

The best time is spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is not too hot or too cold.

Is 3 days enough for Sahara journey from Fes?

Yes, a 3-day desert tour is enough if you have limited time and want to experience the Sahara Desert highlights. You will still enjoy camel trekking, a luxury desert camp, and beautiful landscapes along the way. However, driving distances are longer each day compared to the 4-day or 5-day tours. If you want a more relaxed experience with extra time in Merzouga, we recommend the 4 Days Fes To Marrakech Desert Tour Via Merzouga or the 5 Days Desert Tour Fes to Marrakech | Sahara Camel Trek & Atlas Mountains.

Should I choose a luxury desert camp or a standard camp?

Both camp options offer a memorable Sahara Desert experience, but they are different in comfort and facilities. Standard camps are simple, comfortable, and perfect for travelers looking for an authentic desert atmosphere. Luxury camps offer private bathrooms, comfortable beds, larger tents, and extra comfort for couples, families, or honeymoon trips. If comfort is important to you, we highly recommend upgrading to a luxury camp during your 3 Days Desert Tour Fes to Marrakech (Camel Trek & Luxury Camp) or your 4-day Sahara adventure.

Is Merzouga Desert safe for tourists?

Yes, Merzouga is considered one of the safest tourist destinations in Morocco. Local people are friendly and welcoming, and thousands of travelers visit the Sahara Desert every year. Our experienced local drivers and guides are familiar with the region and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience during your journey. Whether you choose the 2 Days Fes To Marrakech Desert Tour or a longer Sahara trip, your safety and comfort are always our priority.
