MCT tours from Fes to Merzouga

What does the journey of a lifetime mean to you? Is it a trip overflowing with culture-rich cities, engrossing landscapes, or local treasures that uncover the meaning of life? No matter how you slice it, a tour from Fes to Merzouga is an ideal adventure that will be etched into your memory for good.

Fes is a 7-hour drive away from Merzouga. But at MCT, we want to introduce you to the best of the ancient city and Morocco’s sweeping landscapes, which take more time to fully absorb. Our Fes-to-Merzouga trips last several days (depending on what exactly you’re craving to see) and include overnight stays until we reach the destination. By the time we do, you’ll be fascinated, enlightened, and wowed – not the other way around.

One Fes-Merzouga trip, tons of experiences

These tours blend sensory experiences and viewing opportunities across the vastness of Moroccan landscapes. As you leave Fes, you’ll be taken to:

Cedar forests. Morocco isn’t all sandy and dusty. The nation’s pride and joy, cedar forests will breathe life into your trip from Fes to Merzouga as you spend time hiking amid greenery and monkeys. Take a walk on the greenest side of Morocco before proceeding to the dunes.
Berber villages. A single encounter with Berbers lets you get some perspective and develop a deeper understanding of local life. You’ll visit rural communities sprinkled throughout the Atlas Mountains to discover stone-and-clay houses, Berbers’ bonds with nature, and authentic craftworks.
Erg Chebbi. Picture yourself riding atop a camel as your tour unfolds into Erg Chebbi. Nothing can compare to feeling the sway of a camel beneath while exploring the great Sahara and its otherworldly landscapes. The area is replete with 100m-high dunes that feel like you’re ascending a sandy mountain.
Camp stays. As night falls, experience the magic of the desert firsthand during overnight camp stays. The key idea of MCT’s Fes-to-Merzouga tours is to help you feel this majesty under the twinkling stars. Doing that is best while spending the night among the dunes.

Are you ‘comfort-addicted?’ Our camps are not without conveniences, like showers and electricity supply. You can use them as you please during your stay.
