Overview

Experience the perfect blend of desert adventure, culture, and route flexibility. Whether you end your journey in Fes or loop back to Marrakech, this trip serves as a seamless connection for your Moroccan itinerary. We offer cozy standard desert tents & luxury camps nestled in Erg Chebbi. You'll experience the best of the Sahara with a peaceful sunset camel trek and an exhilarating quad bike option.

Please note that reaching this remote wonder means a road-heavy journey with 9–10 hours of driving, especially between Marrakech and Merzouga (and vice versa). If you choose the return loop to Marrakech, your Day 2 journey retraces the scenic route back, meaning you will experience different landscapes than those traveling onward from Merzouga to Fes. However, we turn these long miles into an epic road trip, breaking up the drive with scenic stops at the High Atlas Mountains, Tizi n’Tichka Pass.
Pass by Ouarzazate, and Rose Valley, making the journey just as memorable as the destination.
