Itinerary

Day 1 - Fes » Azrou (Cedar Forest) » Midelt » Erfoud » Merzouga [467 km]

We will pick you up from your hotel or Riad in Fes. Drive south to Azrou via Ifrane, known as the “Little Switzerland of Morocco,” and then to the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop by the cedar forest to take some fascinating photos with the Barbary Apes. Continue through the Atlas Mountains, enjoying the landscapes of Midelt.

After lunch, continue the journey through the Ziz Valley to Erfoud, Rissani, and Merzouga. On arrival, you will be welcomed with a cup of tea and spend the night at the hotel or riad.

Day 2 - Explore Merzouga Area & Camel Trek (Night in Desert Camp) [45 km]

After breakfast, start exploring the area by visiting the village of black people originally from Mali to enjoy their music and learn about their lifestyle.

Next, drive to Miffis Mines to explore how they work. Then, venture behind the dunes into the full desert with charming views, where you will sit for a warm cup of tea with the local Bedouins before returning to the hotel.

Wake up early to watch the best sunrise of your life, casting different shadows and colors over the sea of sand dunes. Return to the desert hotel for breakfast.

Continue the journey to Tinghir and the stunning Todra Gorge, the highest and narrowest gorge in Morocco. The gorge is a great spot for hiking and relaxing on the edge of the river or sampling some local Berber delicacies.

After lunch in the heart of the gorge, drive through the Dades Valley and end the day by spending the night in a nice hotel located on the top of the mountain.

Day 4 - Dades Valley » Ziz Valley » Midelt » Fes [472 km]

After a delicious local breakfast, pack up and start the journey back to Fes. From Todra Gorge, pass through palm groves and follow the Ziz Valley. Stop at a panoramic spot to have tea and admire the surrounding scenery.
