3 Days desert tour From Fes start from Your Accommodtion in Fes and then into the Merzouga desert.

We have the longest journey of the day (7.5 hours), but we don’t notice how quickly time flies as we enjoy the ever-changing landscape. On the way, we stop at the university and the resort of Ifrane, which was founded by the French during the protectorate. The European nature and climate, the parks with lakes and chalets, the ski slopes and the abundant snow in winter have given the town the nickname of “Moroccan Switzerland”. Near Ifran, we can admire the majestic cedars of the Atlas mountains and feed wild macaques.
