Fez, Morocco’s spiritual capital, is the best starting point for the Merzouga desert: about 470 km and 7 hours via Ifrane, the Azrou cedar forest, Midelt and the Ziz Valley. Our tours run daily, are private and in English, and end where you want — back in Fez or in Marrakech via Todra, Dades, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou.
3 days Fez–Merzouga–Fez is the minimum desert experience; 3 days Fez–Marrakech via Merzouga is the most popular way to cross the country. With 4-7 days you travel slower with more Sahara nights, nomad visits and a 4x4 loop around Erg Chebbi. Every option includes the camel trek and the Berber camp night.
