We kick off the day with a thrilling 4×4 excursion through the vast Merzouga desert. Our first stop will be the village of Khamlia, where we will be treated to the captivating sounds of Gnawa music over a glass of mint tea. The Gnawa people came from Sub-Saharan Africa and their unique genre of music blends African and Arabic styles. Hereafter we will visit the lake with the pink flamingos. 

Next, we drive off-road to M’Fis, an abandoned village with mines of Galena, a mineral once used to make Mascara. You will also have the opportunity to visit the nomad people living in nomadic tents behind the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here, you’ll gain insights into their traditional way of life, centered around herding animals and seasonally moving their tent dwellings. Interact with the friendly locals and enjoy their hospitality with a cup of mint tea.

In the afternoon get ready for a 1h 30 min epic camel ride across the high dunes of Merzouga to the nomadic campsite. Along the way, we’ll pause at the summit of a high dune, where you can experience the thrill of sandboarding down the slopes and also witness a breathtaking desert sunset.

Upon arriving at the cap, the staff will welcome you with a glass of mint tea. After dinner, gather around the campfire and watch as your Berber hosts entertain you with traditional drum music and dances. Spend a magical night under the starry desert sky. This is the highlight of the 4-Day Itinerary from Fes to Merzouga.
