On the second day of our 4 days tour from Fes, after a delicious morning meal, we set off on our journey from the Toudra Gorges to the magical Merzouga. Along the way, we encounter Berber villages, including Tinjdad, Jorf, and Erfoud, where the beginning of the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet can be sensed. Upon arrival in Merzouga, we take a moment to relax before embarking on a remarkable camel ride in the dunes of Erg Chebbi. The sheer silence of the desert is mesmerizing and the experience of riding a camel among these sandy hills is truly unforgettable. Afterward, we wander to the top of a high sand dune for sandboarding and to witness the breathtaking beauty of the desert sunset. Dinner is served under a Berber tent, with mesmerizing Berber drums music providing the perfect accompaniment to this exotic and dreamy experience.

We continue our 4 days tour from Fes to explore the spectacular landscape of the Erg Chebbi dunes and the many tiny villages that lie along the way, such as Hassi Labied, Merdani, Khamlia, and M’fis. As we make our way to the village of Kamlia, we will likely come across locals with their desert foxes, and may even spot some desert reptiles and mammals. In Khamlia, known as the village of black people who were once slaves coming from Sudan, you can expect to be welcomed with a cup of Berber whiskey while being serenaded with spiritual Gnawa music. Leaving Khamlia, our next stop will be at the golden dunes near the Algerian border, where we will take a picnic lunch under the shade of a tree before continuing on to visit a Nomad family. Here, you will be introduced to the members of the family and learn about their way of life while sipping on a nice cup of tea. Afterwards, you will have the chance to explore the sites of black volcanic rocks. As we make our way back to Merzouga, we will make one final stop near Yasmina Lac, if there is water present. Here you will be captivated by the view of the dunes and the nearby lake, and may even take the time to dip your toes in its waters (during springtime). After this, we will make our way back to Merzouga and spend the night at a hotel near the dunes.

After taking a refreshing shower and a hearty breakfast, we will begin our journey back to the legendary city of Fes. We will pause on the way to savor a cup of tea with a nomadic family, as we pass through the majestic High Atlas mountains. On our way, we will arrive at the captivating mountain city of Midelt, located at 1488 meters of altitude and tucked beneath Jbel Ayachi (3737 m). Here we will take a moment to enjoy a delightful lunch. As the afternoon approaches, we will continue our adventure, the anticipation building as we draw closer to the exotic and mysterious city of Fes. Upon arriving, we will drop you off at your accommodation or at the airport and that will mark the end of the 4 days tour from Fes.
