Our 2-day tour from Fes to Merzouga starts at your accommodation with our local driver; you travel to Merzouga via Ifrane and Cedar Forest. These spots are the first places to begin within the Middle Atlas. Thereafter, you explore Ziz Valley. Its natural groves and authentic life offer a fantastic panoramic view. From there, we drive to Merzouga via Erfoud. We will visit the Date fruit souk and take a road leading directly to Merzouga. You will experience a camel trekking trip with our local camel guide there. There will be a stop to enjoy the sunset and take pictures. Finally, you want your night to be filled with music. Have a great night.
In the early morning, you will get up and wait for the sunrise on the top of the dune. Then, you shower and have breakfast at the camp. Afterward, you ride camels or travel by car from the camp back to the camels. Thereafter, we visit Rissani, home to old small kasbahs and a traditional market. We also visit the Fossil Museum in Erfoud. Next, we drive through Ziz Valley again and stop in Midelt for lunch. Our tour passes by the Ifrane Cedar Forest once more to enjoy the scenery before heading back to Fes. Finally, our service ends in this imperial city of Fes after we drop you off.
"The Ourika Valley was a beautiful escape from Marrakech. The drive through the Atlas Mountains, waterfalls, and Berber villages made for a perfect day. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly — highly recommended!"
"We had a great trip with Idir. Spent the day touring up to Ourika Valley. Took many stops along the way to see the different sites. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history. Local customs. Great to be with him the entire time. Would love to have another tour with him in the future."
"We loved our tour of the Ourika Valley with Idir. The small villages, mountain views, and peaceful atmosphere made for a perfect escape from Marrakech. Idir was friendly, patient, and full of fascinating stories. I would gladly tour with him again!"
"I had an unforgettable experience! Idir took the time to explain the local way of life, assisted us with shopping at the souk, and even translated for us while we chatted with locals. The lunch by the river was delicious and relaxing. I couldn't have asked for a better guide!"
