If you’re seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, the 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Merzouga is the perfect getaway. The tour was well-planned, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The drive through the Atlas Mountains was stunning, and the camel ride across the sand dunes was a unique experience. Spending a night in the desert under a blanket of stars was simply magical. The accommodations were comfortable, and the traditional Moroccan dinner was delicious. This tour allowed me to reconnect with nature and myself, and I couldn’t recommend it more.

The guy who took us from Fes to the desert was very kind and went beyond the expected, explaining some aspects of Moroccan culture that we had never heard of before. He was a skilled driver. At the desert camp, everyone was amazing, including the young ones who livened up the evenings. They all had a great connection with us Italians, and we had a blast singing and dancing with them. An unforgettable experience.

The 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Merzouga was an unforgettable journey. From the moment we set off from Fes, the scenery was mesmerizing. Our guide was informative and provided interesting insights about the region and its history. The camel ride through the desert was a thrilling experience, although a bit tiring for some. The overnight stay in a desert camp was a unique opportunity to witness the stunning night sky filled with stars. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to savor every moment and take in the beauty of the Sahara. I highly recommend this tour for those seeking a true desert adventure.
3.8
Highly recommended. The camp, the food, and the people are fantastic. The tents have private bathrooms, but during the summer season, it gets hot inside, which can be uncomfortable for sleeping (perhaps because the camp is located in the farthest part of the dunes, where the desert begins). However, it’s still a fantastic and comprehensive experience with various activities (camel riding, watching the sunset in the desert, sandboarding before dinner, dancing and enjoying music, stargazing, and witnessing the sunrise in the desert before breakfast). You also have the option to go on a quad ride.

I recently embarked on the 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Merzouga, and it was a truly immersive cultural experience. The tour allowed us to discover the rich heritage and traditions of Morocco. The drive through the beautiful landscapes of the Atlas Mountains was awe-inspiring. The camel ride through the dunes of Erg Chebbi was an adventurous and enjoyable activity. The overnight stay in a desert camp was delightful, with traditional music and dancing under the starry sky. The tour also included visits to local villages, where we had the chance to interact with the friendly locals and learn about their way of life. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to explore the desert and immerse themselves in Moroccan culture.
