You'll sample Atlantic Morocco, the Sahara at Erg Chebbi and medieval Fes on one continuous loop. Gorge roads, cedar forest and a camel camp night pace the journey without returning through Marrakech. 📋 Key Details Duration: 7 days Activity: 4x4 touring and camel trekking Start: Casablanca hotel Finish: Fes hotel or riad Group: Private, 1 to 52 guests 🎯 What to Expect Early days head south through Rabat and the Middle Atlas toward Merzouga, with gorge and oasis stops on the eastbound road. Your driver breaks the long drives with forest viewpoints, lunch towns and optional short walks, so the journey feels varied rather than one continuous highway day. The camel ride into Erg Chebbi camp sits mid-trip, followed by sunrise on the dunes and a northbound arc to Fes through cedar forests and mountain towns. Casablanca start suits international arrivals at Mohammed V airport, and Fes finish places you in the imperial medina for extra sightseeing after the desert leg. 📍 Location Merzouga on Erg Chebbi remains the sand highlight, while Ifrane, Azrou and Ziz Valley palms diversify the driving days. The route crosses coastal plain, Middle Atlas highlands and pre-Sahara in one direction rather than the usual Marrakech hub loop. Finishing in Fes means you end among medieval alleys and tanneries after the open desert, a sharp contrast that many travellers plan extra days to explore. Casablanca and Rabat appear briefly at the start before the road turns south toward the dunes. ✅ Prerequisites You should be comfortable with daily long drives and a camel camp night. Optional medina walks in Fes require no special fitness beyond comfortable shoes for cobbled lanes. Share flight arrival times in Casablanca when you enquire so day one pickup aligns with your landing. We plan the first day sensibly rather than rushing straight onto a ten-hour road marathon after a long flight. ⭐ Why Choose Us Casablanca to Fes routing via Merzouga covers three distinct Morocco experiences in seven days with logical one-way geography. You see Atlantic city, Sahara dunes and imperial medina without backtracking west to Marrakech. We assign one driver-guide for the full circuit from coastal pickup to Fes medina drop-off. The same crew knows your pace and preferences by mid-week, which keeps timing flexible around photo stops and rest breaks. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pickup from your Casablanca hotel and a final hotel night there Private vehicle and English-speaking driver-guide Meals as listed on the itinerary Camel ride into and out of camp Riad, hotel and 1 night in a Merzouga desert camp ### What’s not included Transport to Casablanca before pickup Drinks Tips for your guide and driver Travel insurance Entrance fees at kasbahs, ruins, tanneries and museums Anything not listed as included ### Kit list Comfortable walking shoes for medina and gorge days Sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen A warm layer for camp A scarf for the camel ride A small day bag for water and a camera ## FAQs ### Where do we start and finish?

Keep a refillable water bottle and any daily essentials in the bag you carry in the vehicle, and ask when you enquire if you want seasonal advice for Atlas cold or desert heat. ### What will we see?

Share children's ages and how they handle long travel days when you enquire, and we advise honestly on pacing, seat comfort and whether a longer itinerary would suit your family better. ### What happens if the weather turns? Atlas passes may need slower driving in winter. Desert wind may shift camel timing. We adjust for safety and keep you informed. Winter snow can slow High Atlas passes and desert wind may shift camel timing, so we adjust for safety and keep you informed rather than pushing a fixed timetable. ### Do we visit Fes medina? The trip finishes in Fes with time to explore the medina if your schedule allows on the final day. Tell us if you want a guided medina walk and we can arrange a local guide. Your driver-guide builds these stops into the day around weather, light and group pace, and can extend or shorten time on site when you ask on the road. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Erg-Chegaga-5-18-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
