The only difference between our 4 days tour from fes to Merzouga and our 3 days tour from Fes is that you will spend one day exploring Merzouga. That is, you will pay a visit to the nomads and see their way of life. Then, by staying at our camp, you will be able to live the experience.
We’ll begin our 4 days tour from Fes to Merzouga by heading to the Todgha Gorges. There’s a lot to see and learn along the route. To begin, we will pay a visit to the lion monument in Ifrane, Morocco’s cleanest city. We’ll then travel through a cedar grove. There, we’ll stop to see the Barbary Macaque, one of the few remaining wild creatures in the Atlas.
We’ll drive via Midelt, the apple-growing city, where we may stop for lunch. After that, we’ll go to Todgha Gorges Canyons, which provide a stunning view of a valley through the rocks at a height of around 300 meters. Then, on the first day of our 4 Days Tour Itinerary From Fes, we’ll transport you to spend the night in a hotel there.
We will continue our 4 days tour itinerary from Fes to Merzouga, which is one of the most popular Morocco excursions. However, there are other sights to view along the road. To begin, we will visit historic wells where Berbers used an ancient irrigation system to nourish their oasis. Then we’ll go to Erfoud, which is known for its date fruits. As a result, we’ll take a stroll around the souk and sample them. After that, we’ll go to Rissani, the king’s birthplace. There, if we’re fortunate enough to be there on market day, we’ll visit the donkey and sheep park. We’ll also have lunch there, where the natives produce a delicious variety of bread known as Medfouna or pitta bread.
Later, we’ll travel to Merzouga, where we’ll take you to one of the local hotels to unwind.
Today is the nicest day of our 4 days tour Itinerary From Fes to Merzouga since we will see and encounter the nomads. To begin, our driver will arrive at your lodging in the morning in a 4×4 car. Then you’ll go to Khamlia, the town of Gnaoua, where they’ll entertain you with music. After that, we’ll drive to see the nomads, who live in tents and wander with their herd from one location to the next. After that, we’ll go to the Mifis Mine, which is one of Morocco’s mascara and salt mines. However, it is no longer operational; it is a relic of the past.
We’ll return to Merzouga, where you’ll prepare to ride camels that will be waiting for you near the sand dunes. Then, on Erg Chebbi, our camel men will take you on a camel trip to our Berber tent. Our Berbers will perform drams for you as well as ignite fire. Then you may take a hike up the dune to observe the stars.
This will be the last day of our 4 days tour from Fes to Merzouga. As a result, we’ll camel trek you back to Merzouga over the dunes. Then we’ll travel through Erfoud again, stopping at one of the fossil museums. We’ll next go via Ziz Valley, where Erfoud obtains his date harvest. We’ll come to a halt there for a panoramic view of Ait Chakir. We’ll travel across the high and middle Atlas mountains again later. We’ll arrive in Fes eventually, drive you to your hotel, and that’ll be the end of our journey.
