The Luxury Sahara desert trip begins with an early pick-up from either the airport or your accommodation in Fes. We then drive south through Imouzzer, making a stop in Ifrane, known for its cool temperatures, snow, and charming alpine-style houses – no wonder it’s called the Switzerland of Morocco. From there, we continue to the Cedars Forest, home to the famous Barbary Macaques, where you can enjoy feeding them while exploring the forest. Next, we head to Midelt for a delicious lunch before continuing our journey to the Sahara Desert. Along the way, we’ll pass through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and follow the Ziz River.

In the afternoon, we arrive at the Merzouga Sahara Desert, where you’ll switch to camels to begin your desert adventure. We’ll stop to admire the breathtaking sunset from the top of a high dune, before continuing to the luxury desert camp. There, you’ll experience traditional Berber drum music and dance around the campfire beneath a star-filled sky.

Day 2: Merzouga – Nomads – Merzouga – Erg Chebbi

Waking up early is a must to witness the stunning sunrise in the heart of the desert. Afterward, enjoy some free time for breakfast before returning to Merzouga on camels, where the driver will be waiting. The day is dedicated to exploring the Merzouga region, which boasts a variety of incredible sites, including vast sand dunes, wild lakes, mines, fossil-rich areas, and beautiful oases – all perfect for outdoor activities.

Our Morocco desert luxury tour begins with an off-road drive to visit an ancient eyeliner mine. Next, we’ll visit a local nomadic family in their handmade woven tent, where you’ll learn about their lifestyle over a cup of traditional Berber tea. Then, we head to the village of Khamlia, known for its Gnaoua music and dance performances. The village’s residents originate from sub-Saharan countries like Mali, Sudan, and Niger. After a break for lunch at a local restaurant, we’ll take a stroll through a palm tree grove before driving a short distance to visit the wild lake of Merzouga, also known as Flamingos Lake.

Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Erfoud – Ziz valley – Ifrane – Fes

On the final day of the Private fes desert trip you’ll return to Merzouga on camels, where the driver will be waiting.

Do I need a visa to travel to Morocco?

It depends on your nationality. Many countries, including the USA, UK, EU nations, and some others, can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. However, travelers from certain countries need to obtain a visa in advance. It’s best to check with the Moroccan embassy or consulate for specific requirements.

What are the must-visit places in Morocco?

Morocco offers diverse attractions, including Marrakech’s bustling souks, the blue city of Chefchaouen, the Sahara Desert for camel treks, the historic medina of Fes, the coastal city of Essaouira, and the Atlas Mountains for stunning landscapes and hikes.

Is Morocco safe for tourists?

Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but like any travel destination, it’s important to take precautions. Petty crimes like pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas, so keeping an eye on your belongings is advised. Respecting local customs and being aware of cultural differences can also enhance your experience.

What should I wear when visiting Morocco?

Morocco is a conservative country, so it’s recommended to dress modestly, especially in rural areas and religious sites. Women often wear loose-fitting clothes that cover their shoulders and knees, while men usually wear casual yet respectful clothing. In tourist areas, dress codes are more relaxed, but comfortable and breathable clothing is ideal due to the climate.
