2 DAYS TOUR FROM FES TO MERZOUGA ITINERARY
DAY 1: FES – IFRANE – MIDDLE ATLAS MOUNTAINS – ZIZ VALLEY – MERZOUGA
Your 2-day desert adventure from Fes to Marrakech begins with a pickup from your riad in Fes. Then travel to Merzouga in the Sahara Desert. Your first stop will be at Ifrane, also regarded as the Switzerland of Morocco due to its milder climate. Following that, you’ll cross the Middle Atlas Mountains. You will stop down the route in a cedar woodland to watch some Barbary monkeys.
Lunch will be at a restaurant somewhere along the road. Then you’ll pass through Ziz Valley (a palm-tree-filled oasis). To see this oasis, you will need to stop at a panoramic view.
You will arrive at the desert in the afternoon. Your camels will be waiting to transport you across the dunes to your luxurious camp. You will also see the sunset from a high dune. When you arrive at the campsite, the staff will show you your private tent, where you may rest and shower. After a fantastic dinner, the team will start a campfire. Then take a seat and enjoy the vista as the Berbers drum and sing.
DAY 2: MERZOUGA – AIT BEN HADDOU – HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS – MARRAKECH
Today, it is advisable to get up early in the morning to witness a peaceful dawn. After a delicious breakfast, leave from the camp in a 4×4 vehicle for Merzouga.

Many famous films and television series have used the fortified village. The Kasbah, for example, has used as a setting for the Mummy, Prince of Persia, and Game of Thrones. UNESCO has designated the old settlement as a World Heritage Site since 1987.
