Itinerary
Day 1 Fes - Azrou - moddle Atlas - Ziz Valley - Merzouga
– 7 hours
We will pick you up either from your hotel or the airport before starting this fantastic tour towards the dunes of the Sahara desert!
Our first stop will be Azrou, a small Berber village nestled among cedar groves which is famous for its local monkeys.
You will then continue through the Atlas Mountains, a mountain chain that runs across the entire length of the country and that boasts 4,000-metre peaks. You will see some breathtaking views along the way and as you descend towards Ziz. This valley is famous for its lush vegetation surrounded by a rocky desert.
Next you will pass through the Berber cities of Erfoud and Rissani, renowned for their fossils, and continue on to Merzouga, a the small town at the edge of the desert.
You will then travel on camels to the camp, where you will enjoy a thousand and one nights experience with a delicious dinner served under the stars and accompanied by Berber music.
Don’t miss the sunset among the dunes: the sand’s ever-changing shades of red are a sight to behold!
Day 2 Erg Chebbi - Rissani Ifrane - Fes
– 7 hours
You will start fresh and early this morning with a sunrise over the desert, followed by breakfast.
After that, you’ll ride a camel (or take the car, if you prefer) back to Merzouga and continue the journey by car to Fez.
On the way back you will see an ever-changing landscape, from rolling dunes to rocky desert, from lush palm forests to cedar groves.
You will have a short stop in Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco. This charming town with red roofs, flower gardens and countless little lakes is a popular winter holiday destination for Moroccans and one of the southernmost skiing locations in our hemisphere!
The return to Fes is scheduled for late afternoon.
