From Green to Amber, and Endless Horizon Desert tours from Fes

Heading towards the dunes Merzouga is one of the most common starts of the trip. This place is known as the home of the remarkable Erg Chebbi. Without this experience, this trip may feel lacking.

The journey here isn’t a mere transfer but rather an experience.

Why so? Imagine this. You’d pass through the greeneries, the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains. Along the way, feel how the forest greets you with surprises, you may even spot monkeys in the trees! And yes, it’s possible since Morocco is full of surprises. Then, further deep the scenery changes as the green hues turn into soft amber. Mountains have now flattened into open plains, and you’d notice there are now fewer villages.

From this point, you’d start wondering “Wow, is this even real?” And I tell you, yes. It is indeed. This full drive is a scenic journey that almost feels like you’re in that introduction in a movie. And it’s just the start.

The First Glimpse of the Dunes

No one has ever been prepared to see how breathtaking sight of Sahara. You’d see how the dunes rise like soft waves, that may actually feel unreal because of its perfection. Most of the tours encourages and includes a camel trek into the desert camp, and intentionally times around sunset. What for? Of course, just so to feel magical… the way the camel goes slowly, the sky turning to faded pink and gold, and now the air slowly cools down. The world goes silent, it felt like whispering would disrupt this peace. At this moment, you’d think “Where is the rush? Let me stay in here, In this moment”

The Silence in the Desert Night Camps

You can never go wrong with spending the night in the Sahara. In fact, this is the highlight for most of the travelers. There is no rules in doing the camping, Itreally justdepends on your style and preferences. It could differ from a simple Berber tents to luxurious setups, which included proper beds and private baths.

After setting up and settling in, having eaten during the dinner, there’s usually a live drumming under the sky full of stars. You’d sit beside the small fire that lit, comfy and hugging a scarf, holding that stick with marshmallows to toast. You’d look up to the impossibly big sky, realizing just how small and fragile humans are. You’d think, wow, the stars here in Sahara are not so little, not subtle, they demand to be seen brilliantly.

And when the music fades into the background, you’d feel the silence becoming loud and clear, that quietness that feels like even breathing feels loud. Strangely, silence this way is really peaceful.

Is It Worth It?

Definitely, and hundred times a yes. It is something that is worth not a visit, but to experience fes tours. Silent and golden, you’d realize a place is not something to visit but to feel.
