Travel from Fez into the Middle Atlas mountains on Day 1, passing a ski resort, cedar forest, and a series of Berber villages as you descend to the Sahara desert. Pause for lunch in Midelt, take a break near a palm oasis, and then transfer to a 4WD vehicle for the final approach to Merzouga. There, you’ll mount a camel and ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes while the sun begins to set. After two hours in the saddle, you’ll reach a Berber camp, where you will sip mint tea, try Berber cuisine, and watch the bright desert stars shine before going to sleep in a roomy Berber tent.
On Day 2, catch the sunrise above the dunes, and then ride a camel back to Merzouga, where you can shower and have breakfast at a hotel. Retrace your steps to Rissani and begin the scenic trip back to Fez, finishing the day with drop-off at your hotel.Catch a sunrise above the dunes, then ride a camel back to Merzouga, where you can shower and have breakfast at a hotel.
