No, Fes is situated in northern Morocco amidst the Middle Atlas Mountains, not close to any desert. For a desert experience, you’d need to travel south to Merzouga, where the Sahara Desert awaits.

The camel trek lasts about an hour, with a stop in the middle of the desert to witness the sunset. You can also walk alongside the camel caravan, though walking through the sand can be tiring.

Whether riding a camel on an adventure or transferring by 4×4 for convenience, an enchanting desert camp in Erg Chebbi awaits. Surrounded by breathtaking dunes, the camp promises an unforgettable desert getaway.

To fully experience the beauty of the Sahara Desert, it is recommended to stay at least 2 nights, which allows plenty of time to enjoy the vast landscape and unique activities through multi-day adventures amidst the golden sand dunes. A longer stay provides opportunities to engage in camel treks, glamping under the stars, quad biking, and dune buggy rides, creating memorable moments in this stunning setting.

During your desert trip, pack comfortable clothing for daytime heat and nighttime cool, including sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a scarf to shield against desert winds, broken-in walking shoes, and a small backpack for personal items. Bringing a camera is also recommended to photograph the breathtaking scenery and special moments.
