2 Days from Fes to Merzouga Detailed Itinerary:
Day 1: Fes » Ifrane » Cedar Woods » Merzouga » Berber Desert Camp (465Km)
We’ll pick you up from your riad/hotel in Fes at about 8:00 am, and we’ll head south crossing the Middle Atlas until we arrive at Ifrane, a city that will make you feel out of Morocco as if suddenly you were taken away and left someplace in Europe. We’ll take some pictures and walk around to explore the town.
Once you’re ready we’ll continue our way toward cedar woods, where you can interact with some funny monkeys that love to be fed! After saying goodbye to your new friends we’ll go to Midelt for lunch and a short rest.
After lunch, we’ll cross the Valley of Ziz and its immense palm grove – one, if not the biggest palm oasis in the world. Here you’ll start feeling the desert vibe as the scenery starts changing when we enter the city of Errachidia.
We’ll stop along the way to take some pictures before we go to Merzouga where our wilderness expert will be waiting. Once you learn how to tie your Moroccan scarf you’ll get on your camel and will cross the Sahara to catch a spectacular sunset on top of a high dune. Later on, you’ll head to your camp in the middle of the desert.
After dinner, you’ll enjoy an authentic Berber spectacle with drums and nostalgic songs around a fire. And to culminate your perfect night in the desert all you have to do is relax and look up; there you’ll find the most beautiful and starred sky you’ll ever see in your life.
Day 2: Merzouga » Ziz valley » Midelt » Fes (473Km)
Today, we encourage you to wake up early in the morning and walk to the highest dune you find around camp. There you’ll see how the sunrises and appears slowly in between two huge mountains. It’s probably one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see, we promise it’s worth it!
After breakfast in camp, you’ll get back on your camel and ride back to Merzouga. Once we’re in our vehicle again we head north crossing the Tafilalet Palm Grove until we reach the Valley of Ziz.
We’ll stop in here for some pictures and to look at Aoufous town from a privileged spot. We’ll then go to Midelt for lunch and rest for a while before continuing our way to the Cedar Woods and giving the friendly monkeys another visit.
We’ll say goodbye once we reach Fes and transfer you safely to your riad/hotel, the end of the 2 days tour from Fes to Merzouga. End of our service.

Here are the most FAQs for the 2 days tour from Fes to Merzouga desert.
There are no strict rules about dressing. Morocco is deemed an open and liberal country, due to its proximity to Europe. Therefore, dressing for foreigners has not to be a big issue. However, it is important to note that the majority of Moroccan people are conservative, and do not approve of seeing foreign guests wearing inappropriate clothes which may break public norms. It doesn’t mean you should wear like the locals, but particularly, women have to respect the general clothing norms, which are covering the knees and breasts and avoiding tight or transparent outfits.
“Berber Planet” ensures high security and care to its customers. If you are a sole woman traveling to Morocco, you will have nothing to worry about. We devote special attention to foreign women during the tour, especially if they are traveling alone. It can be a serious matter if she is coming to Morocco without being involved with a tour company because solo women are often treated badly if they are not accompanied by a trusted guide. Hence, our staff will treat you well along the road and ensure you are not irritated under any circumstances.
Absolutely yes, if you have children and are willing to visit Morocco, you needn’t leave them babysitting, you’d better bring them to discover something extraordinary. This decision can be challenging for you to bear extra burdens when it comes to providing care to your children, but little kids like to amuse themselves and enjoy traveling like adults. Besides, their Morocco experience will remain a lifetime journey for them to broaden their mind till they grow up mature.
In a word, delicious. Salads are lovely; fresh, succulent vegetables are served with light vinaigrette on the side. Harira is the Moroccan word for thick vegetable soup. A particularly delicious one contains a bread dumpling. Main courses are usually one of the following: grilled meat on skewers often served with French fries; couscous, either vegetarian or meat with vegetables, and Tajin, the Moroccan stew, usually meat, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and spices.
Moroccan cooks use a melange of spices such as cumin, turmeric, paprika, saffron, and pepper for a subtly flavored cuisine. In the Sahara, you can find “Berber pizza”. This is a double-crusted pie filled with meat, hard-boiled eggs, almonds and spices. Sometimes rather peppery, “Berber pizza” is best eaten with glass after glass of hot, sweet, mint tea.
Every seaport has freshly caught fish prepared by the fishermen on or near the piers. Do not miss this treat! Fresh fruit is served for dessert; pomegranates, melons, bananas, apples, oranges, and dates all produced in Morocco and all bursting with flavor. One ongoing benefit of the French occupation is the fresh baguettes available nearly everywhere. Pastries both French and Moroccan are available in many bakeries.
