Great Merzouga desert tour
If you visit Morocco, you have to visit the Sahara desert. And if you visit the desert, you have to do it with this amazing family! We had a wonderful experience on a 3-day tour from Fes to Merzouga. We traveled by car with Said, who brought us to the most amazing places on the way, making the experience unforgivable. We also stayed one night in the dunes after a camel trek, and it felt 100% authentic! We will recommend it to everyone!

Amazing 3 days desert tour from Fes
You will visit amazing places with fantastic views and learn a bit more about Moroccan culture and history. For the next 2 nights, we slept in comfortable places (including the desert) and had excellent food.
Mohamed, the tour guide, is funny, so attentive, drives safely and gives us a lot of recommendations.
If you think a 3 days tour from Fes to Merzouga is excessive, think again. You have different views and different contexts for each part of the trip.

Extraordinary 3-day tour with a fantastic guide
The highlight of our trip to Morocco was a nice excursion I've never taken anywhere. Said, our guide, met us at our riad in Fes and drove us about for the following three days. He was really nice and especially good with our adolescent children. The route from Fes to Merzouga was long, but it was well worth it. We rode a camel for over two hours at Erg Chebbi, which left us a little sore, but it was incredibly magical. We stayed at the Ideal Desert Camp, which had wonderful service and provided an unforgettable experience, especially early in the morning in the desert.

3 days Fez to Merzouga Desert Tour
Morocco Dream Safari is the best way to get it in Morocco if you want to have the best time possible, so I highly recommend it to you.
I booked a 3-day tour from Fes to the Sahara Desert with Said as the guide and Hassan as the driver. It was a great experience.
