Following an early breakfast, your journey across the Middle Atlas Mountains begins. You’ll spend most of the day winding through lush forests and Berber villages as you traverse the Atlas Mountains, descending toward the Sahara Desert. Midway, a lunch stop renowned for its fossils and rock formations awaits. Continuing along mountain roads overlooking the flowing Oued Ziz, you’ll pass through Kasbahs and palm groves en route to the adobe-colored city of Errachidia. Arriving in late afternoon at Merzouga Erg Chebbi, your starting point for the Sahara Desert tour, you’ll saddle up on camels for a scenic journey across the desert during a beautiful sunset, lasting about 1.5 hours, until you reach your camp for the night nestled by the sand dunes. Experience an overnight stay in a luxurious nomadic tent beneath a star-filled sky, accompanied by Berber music and delectable cuisine prepared for you.

On the second day of your journey, venture from Erg Chebbi to Ziz Valley, Medilt, Ifrane, and finally Fez. Consider seizing the opportunity to witness the breathtaking sunrise with an early stroll across the desert dunes. Following a delightful breakfast at the camp, resume your travels, first stopping at the sacred town of Rissani, birthplace of Moulay Ali Cherif, the esteemed founder of Morocco’s Alaouite Dynasty. Proceed to Midelt for a satisfying lunch before tracing the path along the Ziz River, where ancient kasbahs stand sentinel amidst lush palm groves. Traverse the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas and traverse the fertile Saiss plains, teeming with indigenous flora and fauna. As dusk approaches, reach your accommodation in Fez, be it a riad or a hotel, where you can unwind and recharge for the adventures that lie ahead.
