Your 3-day Sahara desert trip from Errachidia to Fes begins with a pickup from Errachidia Airport or your hotel. The road quickly leads south through the spectacular landscapes of the Ziz Valley, one of Morocco’s largest oasis regions filled with thousands of palm trees.

After a panoramic stop overlooking the valley, the journey continues to Erfoud, a town well known for its fossil workshops and date markets. If you wish, you can visit a local fossil workshop to see how ancient marine fossils are transformed into decorative pieces.

From here, continue toward Merzouga, where the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi appear on the horizon. Upon arrival, settle into your hotel or riad near the dunes and enjoy the peaceful desert atmosphere. Dinner and overnight stay in Merzouga.

After breakfast, the day begins with a 4x4 exploration of the Merzouga desert area. The tour first visits Khamlia village, home to the Gnawa community known for their unique African spiritual music. You will have the chance to listen to traditional rhythms and learn about their culture.

Next, travel off-road to visit nomadic families living behind the dunes, where you can discover their daily life in the desert and share a glass of traditional tea. In this region you may also taste the famous Berber pizza (Madfouna), a local specialty.

The route continues through desert landscapes including the Mefis mining area, once used for minerals and fossils.

In the late afternoon, return to the dunes where your camel trek into the Sahara begins. Riding through the golden sand dunes during sunset is one of the most magical experiences in Morocco.

Arrive at your Sahara desert camp, where you will enjoy dinner followed by Berber music around the campfire under a sky full of stars.

Overnight stay in a comfortable desert camp.

Wake up early to experience a peaceful sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast at the camp, ride the camels back to Merzouga where your driver will be waiting.

The journey then heads north toward Fes, crossing very different landscapes from desert plains to mountain forests.

A stop is made in Midelt, a town located between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains and known for apple farming. Here you can enjoy lunch before continuing the journey.

In the afternoon, travel through the Azrou cedar forest, home to the famous Barbary macaque monkeys. Afterward, visit the charming mountain town of Ifrane, known for its clean streets, alpine architecture, and cool climate.

By late afternoon or evening, arrival in Fes, where your 3-day Morocco Sahara desert trip from Errachidia to Fes comes to an end with a transfer to your accommodation or the airport.
