Itinerary

  • Begin your tour bright and early on the first day and enjoy convenient pickup from your hotel or riad. From there, ride in comfort to the town of Ifrane, built by the French in the 1930s and known as Morocco’s Switzerland. Pause here and admire the quaint architecture and enchanting atmosphere.
  • Continue onwards through the large cedar forests around the Berber village of Azrou, or “The Rock” in the local Berber dialect. Here, the famous Barbary apes, or macaques, may attempt to partake in your lunch as you sit in their natural habitat. Breathe in the fresh cedar while you snack.
  • Next, pass through the Atlas Mountains, which are said to hold up the sky. Forested peaks, twisting mountain streams, and steep rock walls decorate your drive to Rissani. Then, once you’ve reached the edge of the Sahara, continue on southwards to Merzouga.
  • As dusk sets in, set out with your camel on a ninety-minute trek through the unforgettable, shifting desert sands of the Sahara. Arrive at a traditional Berber encampment and settle in for the evening. While you relax, enjoy an authentic Moroccan feast and marvel at the brilliant stars above.
  • Sahara Desert– Middle Atlas Mountains – to Fes
  • The next morning, wake up to a breathtaking sunrise and enjoy the sights of the dawn breaking over the sandy dunes.
