3 Days from Errachidia to Fez
To explore Morocco is to enter a world full of colors, aromas and landscapes that seem like something out of a dream. The 3-day tour from Errachidia to the Merzouga Desert and on to the historic city of Fez is an ideal route for travelers looking for an authentic and transformative experience. Join us on this fascinating journey through palm groves, golden dunes and ancient mountains.
Your adventure begins in Errachidia, the gateway to the majestic Moroccan Sahara. Upon arrival at Moulay Ali Cherif Airport or your accommodation, our team welcomes you with a traditional mint tea 🍵.
Then, we drive south along the Ziz Valley, a lush oasis lined with palm trees and ksars. Along the way, we stop for photos and learn about the ancient oasis farming system.
After lunch in Aoufous or Erfoud, we reach Merzouga, where camels await for a sunset trek across Erg Chebbi 🌅. We end the day at a luxury desert camp with live Berber music, traditional dinner, and overnight stay in comfortable tents ✨.
We wake early to watch the sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, we return to Merzouga and continue north. Our first stop is Rissani, famous for its traditional souk and local delicacies 🍽️.
Next, we pass Hassan Addakhil Dam and enter the Middle Atlas Mountains, heading to Midelt. The landscapes shift from desert to valleys and rugged mountains, showcasing Morocco’s diversity.
After breakfast, we stop at the Cedar Forest, home to Barbary macaques. This is a perfect spot for a short walk and fresh mountain air.
Next, we pass through Ifrane, famous for alpine-style architecture and clean streets ❄️, ideal for a coffee break.
Finally, we arrive in Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage site 🌟. This concludes the desert portion and opens the door to Fez’s ancient medinas and vibrant culture.
