The 2-day desert tour from Fes to Merzouga offers a great introduction to the Sahara Desert, with a camel ride and an overnight stay in a luxury desert camp. It gives you the chance to experience the golden dunes, the tranquility of the desert, and the unique atmosphere of the Merzouga region. However, if you’re looking to explore more remote or diverse areas of the desert, a longer tour may be needed to fully immerse yourself in the vastness and variety of Morocco’s desert landscapes.

The drive from Fes to Merzouga takes about 8 to 9 hours, covering approximately 470 km. The scenic journey passes through the Middle Atlas Mountains, the Cedar Forest, and the Ziz Valley, offering breathtaking views along the way.

For the desert tour, pack comfortable clothing for daytime, warm layers for the evening, and sunscreen. A hat or scarf for sun protection, sunglasses, a camera, and a refillable water bottle are also recommended. Don’t forget a flashlight for the desert camp.

The camel ride is suitable for most ages, with a slow pace that allows you to enjoy the desert scenery. However, it’s important to consider physical conditions, especially for those with back, hip, or knee issues. Always check with the tour operator if you have concerns.

If you wish to cancel your desert tour, you can do so up to 10 days before the arrival date during high season. In low season, cancellations are allowed up to 7 days before the tour. Please note that cancellation fees may apply depending on the timing of your cancellation.
