Sahara Express Escape
3 Days / 2 Nights — Departs from Fez
Some journeys don't need a week to change you. In just three days, the Sahara Express Escape carries you from the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the golden silence of the Erg Chebbi dunes — one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. You'll trade the medina's bustle for the hush of the desert at dusk, share a Berber camp dinner under more stars than you've ever seen, and wake before sunrise to watch the dunes turn from indigo to gold. It's a short escape, but it stays with you long after you're home.
