We pick you up in Fes between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning. The road goes south through Ifrane and the cedar forest near Azrou. We stop in Midelt for lunch. Then we drive down the Ziz Valley, past palm groves and small villages. In the late afternoon we reach Merzouga. You ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes for about 1 hour. Dinner and the night are in a desert camp.

After sunrise and breakfast at the camp, you ride a camel or take the 4x4 back to the village. We drive west to Todra Gorges and walk into the narrow canyon. After lunch we continue to Dades Valley, past the rock shapes called the monkey fingers. Dinner and the night are in a hotel in the valley.
Night 1 in a riad in Fes. Night 2 in a desert camp in Merzouga. Day 3 ends in Marrakech in the evening; the night in Marrakech is not included unless you ask us to add it.
The price starts at €220 per person. The shared tour is the lowest price. A private tour for 2 people costs more per person than a private tour for 4 or 6 people, because the vehicle cost is shared. Tell us your group size and we give you the exact price.
You can book it both ways. The shared tour has 6 to 8 travellers in one minibus. The private tour is only your group, with your own driver and your own pace. The price on this page is the shared price unless the tour says private.
The camp sits in the Erg Chebbi dunes, near Merzouga. Tents have real beds, mattresses and blankets. Dinner and breakfast are served in the camp restaurant tent. In the evening there is music around the fire. Standard camps share bathrooms. Luxury camps have a private bathroom in the tent.
No. The camel ride takes about 1 hour at sunset and a shorter ride at sunrise. If you prefer, the 4x4 takes you to the camp and back. Tell us when you book and we plan it that way.
Bring a small bag for the camp night: a change of clothes, a toothbrush, sun cream and a warm layer. Your main luggage stays locked in the vehicle in Merzouga. It is there when you return in the morning.
Book as early as you can, above all for March to May and September to November. Camps fill up on weekends. If your date is close, write to us on WhatsApp and we check what is still free the same day.
Yes, from age 4. The drive is long, so we plan stops every 2 hours. We fit child seats on request. Children under 5 often ride the camel with a parent.
Rain in the desert is rare and short. If the road over the pass is closed by snow in winter, we take a safe detour or change the plan with you. We never drive a closed road.
We reply within a few hours, usually the same day. No payment is needed to ask.
