Things to Know Before You Go: 2 Days Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour

2 Days Morocco tour from Fes to Merzouga

This isn’t just a trip — it’s a journey through time.

You’ll travel from the maze-like medinas of Fes to the silent, star-filled skies of the Sahara. Be ready for long drives, rich history, and soul-stirring landscapes that change by the hour.

Pack smart — Morocco has its moods.

You’ll need warm layers for chilly desert nights and breathable clothes for warm days. Comfortable walking shoes are essential cobbled alleys and sand dunes don’t mix well with flip-flops.

Cash is still king.

Outside of big cities, small towns and desert stops may not accept cards. Keep some local currency handy, especially for tips, water, or a spontaneous rug purchase.

The desert is magical — and rustic.

Desert camps vary. Some offer luxury tents with private bathrooms; others are more basic. Either way, expect the silence, stars, and sunrise to be the highlight — the Wi-Fi is available!

Camel rides are optional — the view is not.

The camel trek is iconic, but not required. Prefer wheels over humps? A 4×4 can take you to the camp — just ask in advance.

Respect goes a long way.

Morocco is welcoming, but conservative in some places. Dressing modestly (especially in rural areas) and learning a few words in Arabic like “shukran” (thank you) is always appreciated.

You’ll be guided, but still free.

City tours with local guides help you understand the deep layers of Moroccan culture, but there’s always time to wander on your own — just don’t get lost in the medina!

Meals are hearty and homey.

Expect tagines, couscous, fresh bread, and mint tea at every turn. If you’re vegetarian, gluten-free, or have allergies, let your tour operator know ahead of time — Moroccan hospitality will make it work.

It’s not just about the cities.

Some of the most memorable moments happen in the middle of nowhere — a small mountain café, a talk with a nomad family, or a panoramic stop above the Ziz Valley.
