Tours from Fes

Departing from the cultural heart of Morocco, a desert tour from Fes is a captivating expedition through the country’s diverse vertical landscapes. The journey climbs through the alpine charm of Ifrane and the ancient cedar forests of Azrou—home to wild Barbary macaques—before descending into the palm-fringed Ziz Valley. Most travelers head straight for the towering Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, where the experience is defined by sunset camel treks, traditional Gnawa music, and nights spent in luxury Berber camps under a brilliant canopy of Saharan stars. Whether returning to Fes or continuing onward to the High Atlas and Marrakech, this route offers the most direct and scenic gateway to the true spirit of the Sahara.
