DAY 1: FES – IFRANE – MIDLLE ATLAS MOUNTAINS – ZIZ VALLEY – MERZOUGA
Departure from Fes around 08:00, traveling to Merzouga. The first destination will be the little Switzerland of Morocco, frane. After having a cup of coffee here, you will have an opportunity to watch the Barbary apes in the cedar forest of Azrou. From here we drive over the Middle Atlas Mountains to Midelt (also called the capital apple of Morocco), where you can have lunch.
We continue traveling over the Tizi-n-Talghemt pass (known as the she-camel pass) and along the Ziz Valley (an oasis full of palm trees and small traditional villages). You will have many stops along the way.
Reach Merzouga in the afternoon. Your camels and guide will be waiting for you to take you across the Erg Chebbi Dunes to your desert camp. Get to watch an orange sunset from a high dune. After a delicious dinner, the staff of the camp will light the fire, so you can have a sit around a campfire while enjoying some Berber music under a starlit sky.
DAY 2: MERZOUGA – RISSANI – FES
Today, it is highly recommended to wake up early to get an opportunity to watch a spectacular and glorious sunrise. After a tasty breakfast at your camp, we leave for Rissani (the foundation of the current ruling family).
