The Sahara Expedition from Fes is a 3-day desert journey from Fes to Merzouga (Erg Chebbi dunes), combining Middle Atlas scenery, palm-filled valleys, and a memorable night in the Sahara. Travel with a professional driver, enjoy scenic stops along the way, then experience a camel trek (or 4×4 transfer) to a desert camp for sunset, dinner, Berber music, and stargazing. After sunrise in the dunes, return to Fes with breaks and viewpoints en route.
