Experience Morocco’s most iconic dunes at Erg Chebbi (Merzouga) with a better-paced journey than a quick overnight. The extra day allows for a more comfortable rhythm: scenic stops, rest breaks, and a desert arrival timed for the best light. In Merzouga, you’ll take a camel trek (or 4×4) into the dunes, enjoy a camp dinner, stargaze far from city lights, and wake early for sunrise over the sand.

This is the best choice if you want the “classic Sahara dunes” experience from Fez without compressing everything into a single rushed transfer.
