Your 3-day desert adventure begins with a morning pickup from a designated meeting point in the Medina of Fes. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and start your journey south toward the Sahara Desert.

Arrive in Ifrane, a charming mountain town known for its alpine-style architecture, clean streets, and cool climate. Enjoy a short walk through the town and learn about its origins during the French protectorate era in 1928.

Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains to the cedar forests near Azrou. Stop to admire the towering cedar trees and, if you’re lucky, encounter the friendly Barbary macaques that inhabit the area.

After lunch along the route, travel through changing landscapes toward the desert. Pause near Aoufous to enjoy a panoramic view of a lush oasis filled with palm trees, offering a striking contrast to the surrounding arid terrain.

Arrive in Merzouga in the afternoon, where your Sahara adventure truly begins. Ride camels across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, with a stop atop a high dune to watch a breathtaking desert sunset. Upon arrival at your desert camp, check into your private tent and enjoy a traditional dinner. In the evening, gather around the campfire for live Berber drumming and music under a spectacular star-filled sky. A 4x4 transfer to the camp is also available as an alternative to the camel ride.
