Tangier desert tours 5 days

Set out on a scenic journey from Fes towards the captivating landscapes of the Middle Atlas region. Pass through the charming town of Ifrane, often referred to as "the Switzerland of Morocco," with its alpine-style architecture and serene ambiance. Traverse through the rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountains, adorned with cedar forests and picturesque valleys, as you make your way towards Midelt. From there, descend into the arid landscapes of the Ziz Valley, where the oasis town of Erfoud awaits. Finally, arrive at the gateway to the Sahara Desert, Merzouga, where towering sand dunes and breathtaking sunsets beckon you to embrace the magic of the desert.

Today is dedicated to immersing yourself in the mystical allure of Merzouga and the Sahara Desert. Embark on a camel trek across the vast expanse of golden sands, guided by experienced desert nomads. Witness the ever-shifting dunes of Erg Chebbi, marvel at the silence of the desert, and experience the awe-inspiring spectacle of a Saharan sunset painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. As night falls, retreat to a traditional Berber camp nestled amidst the dunes, where you can indulge in a feast of Moroccan cuisine under a blanket of stars, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of desert drums.

Bid farewell to the desert landscapes of Merzouga as you continue your journey towards Fes. Traverse through the striking scenery of the High Atlas Mountains, passing through the towns of Erfoud, Midelt, and Ifrane once more. Pause along the way to admire the panoramic vistas, and perhaps indulge in some local delicacies before reaching the imperial city of Fes.

On the final day of your adventure, journey through the historic cities of Meknes and Volubilis, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Explore the grandeur of Meknes, with its impressive imperial architecture and bustling medinas, before continuing to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, where ancient civilization comes to life amidst the remnants of temples, basilicas, and mosaic-adorned villas. Finally, return to Tanger, reflecting on the memories of your Moroccan odyssey as you bid farewell to this captivating land.
