Day 01

Fez to Merzouga via Ifrane, Azrou and Erg Chebbi

  • Begin the trip from your riad with your Moroccan driver at 8 am.

  • Drive past Ifrane, a winter ski resort in a distinctly un-Moroccan style, built by the French in the 1930s to resemble a Swiss village.

  • Stop by the Cedars forest in Azrou, where you will see the monkeys and feed them.

  • The journey across the Middle Atlas Mountains is full of amazing natural sights. Most of the day will be spent making your way through beautiful forests, springs, jagged rock faces, and Berber villages as you cross the Atlas Mountains and begin to reach the Sahara Desert.

  • Have lunch in the town of Midelt, famous for its fossils and rocks.

  • Continue towards Merzouga on the road and stop at panoramic viewpoints to see a vast oasis of palm trees.

  • Reach Merzouga in the afternoon, around 5 pm, where your Moroccan guide and camels will be waiting for you after a short rest.

  • Start a camel trek across the sandy dunes of Erg Chebbi. During this camel ride through the desert landscape, you will enjoy the beauty of the sunset from the saddle.

  • After one hour, you will reach the desert camp to spend the night in a Berber tent. At your desert shelter, the camels are hobbled and mint tea is served.

  • After dinner, enjoy the ocean of stars overhead.

Overnight in the tent.
