Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Fes – Ifran – Azrou – Midlet – Arfoud – Merzouga

For the first step of our 2 days tour, we will start heading south on our journey to the Sahara desert. But first, we will go through the Middle Atlas region where we will meet the town of Ifrane (known for its unique weather and Ski resorts), the Azrou cedar forests (populated by wild Macaque monkeys) and then the town of Midelt. This is where the landscape will start turning into a more Saharian atmosphere, as we will reach the town of Errachidia where we will have lunch. Then we will continue driving through the massive palm groves of Ziz Valley, where you might want to stop to take photographs of the landscape. We will arrive at the nearby Rissani village, where we can pay a visit to the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif. This town is actually the hometown of the Alaouite dynasty which currently rules over the kingdom. Then we will finally reach the town of Merzouga, the gateway of the Desert, where we will rest for a little bit and enjoy a cup of traditional mint tea before starting to get ready for our camel trekking ride. You will spend an unforgettable evening in a Berber camp in the middle of the Sahara surrounded by nothing but endless dunes. After a delicious traditional dinner, you will spend the night in a Nomad style simplistic tent.

Day 2: Merzouga – Errachidia – Ziz Valley – Fes.

After waking up in time to admire the beauty of the breathtaking desert sunrise, we will ride our camels back to the hotel at Merzouga to get a delicious breakfast and get the chance to shower. Make sure to enjoy every moment at the majestic desert dunes of Erg Chebbi as much as you can. Finally, we drive back to Fez through Errachidia and the Ziz Valley.
