Your desert adventure begins with morning pick-up from your hotel or riad in Fes. We travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco,” for its alpine-style architecture. Next, we visit the cedar forest in Azrou, home to wild Barbary monkeys. Continuing south, we pass through Midelt and follow the scenic Ziz Valley, famous for its palm groves and oasis villages. By late afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, at the edge of the Sahara Desert. Here, you’ll ride camels into the Erg Chebbi dunes and enjoy a spectacular sunset before spending the night in a traditional Berber desert camp, complete with dinner, music, and stargazing.
