Embark on a 4-day journey from the palm-filled city of Errachidia to the ancient, cultural heart of Fes, with a significant detour through the stunning Sahara Desert near Merzouga. This tour offers an immersive experience into Morocco’s diverse landscapes and rich history. Here’s a guide to make the most of this adventure.
Begin your journey in Errachidia, a city surrounded by beautiful palm groves and known as a gateway to the Sahara. Travel towards Merzouga, the doorstep to the impressive Erg Chebbi dunes, some of the most spectacular in the Sahara.
Upon arrival in Merzouga, experience the tranquility and vastness of the desert. Embark on a camel trek through the dunes to witness a breathtaking sunset. Spend the night in a desert camp under the stars, enjoying traditional Berber hospitality, complete with local music and cuisine.
Wake up to a stunning sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, spend the day exploring the area around Merzouga. Visit the village of Khamlia to enjoy Gnawa music, a unique form of rhythmic music with West African roots. Alternatively, take a 4×4 excursion to explore the desert further, visiting nomadic families or the fossil beds.
In the afternoon, explore the Rissani market, known for its traditional souks and historical significance as a major trading post. Spend another night in the desert camp, taking the opportunity to relax and soak in the serene desert atmosphere.
After enjoying the desert sunrise, begin your journey to Midelt. This drive takes you through varied landscapes, transitioning from the stark beauty of the Sahara to the lush greenery of the Middle Atlas mountains. Midelt, located between the Middle and High Atlas ranges, offers a blend of cultures and a chance to experience a different aspect of Moroccan life. Spend the night in Midelt, enjoying the cooler mountain air and peaceful environment.
On the final day, travel from Midelt to Fes. The route offers stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and passes through several traditional Berber villages. Arriving in Fes, delve into the ancient medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the intricate alleyways, visit the famous tanneries, and see landmarks like the Bou Inania Madrasa and the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University. Fes’s medina is a living museum of medieval architecture, vibrant markets, and rich artisanal crafts.

We chose the option of 4 days and 3 nights. The experience has been fantastic, especially for the unbeatable attention of our guide, Ali, and all the people who attended us in the haimas of Merzouga. Even Brahim’s management for booking and payment was excellent. Tamlalt Tours, highly recommended.

Tamlalt Tours has organized an 8-day route through Morocco for us and we loved it. Both my wife and my two children, ages 10 and 8, had a great time. Camel rides and nights in the desert, a real family adventure.

We came from Taiwan. We are so lucky to choose Tamlalt Tours. Our driver Hassan helped us in everything. He took us everywhere we wanted to go. I’d recommend this company to anyone travelling to Morocco.

We came all the way from Mexico, and would love to do it again! Ali drove us from Marrakech to the desert, making several stops, visiting amazing little towns and beautiful sceneries like the Dades Gorges and Ait Benhaddou. The camp was perfect: we had dinner, we danced, sang and watched the stars.

Our driver, Ali, came to our hotel in Marrakech to pick us up. We drove through the Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou then Dades gorges. Next day we visited Todra gorges and Merzouga, where we enjoyed a marvelous sunset on top of a dune and a camel trek.
