Itinerary:

Day 1 – Fes – Middle Atlas – Cedar Forest – Midelt

The 4-day tour from Fes to Marrakech begins with a morning departure from the imperial city of Fes. We leave the historic medina to venture into the green and mountainous landscapes of the Middle Atlas.

Ifrane, the Switzerland of Morocco

The first stop is in Ifrane, known as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its European architecture, well-kept parks, and cool climate. This city represents a striking contrast with the desert regions of the south.

Azrou Cedar Forest

We continue toward the Azrou Cedar Forest, famous for the Barbary macaques that live freely among the ancient trees. It is an ideal stop for a break in nature and for taking evocative photographs.

In the afternoon we reach Midelt, located between the Middle and High Atlas. This city is known for its mountain landscapes and peaceful atmosphere. Dinner and overnight stay in a traditional hotel.

Day 2 – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga (Sahara Desert)

After breakfast, the journey continues south crossing increasingly arid and fascinating landscapes.

Ziz Valley

We cross the spectacular Ziz Valley, one of the largest oases in Morocco, with thousands of date palms stretching along the river. The views offer a unique spectacle, perfect for photo stops.

Rissani, Caravan City

We stop in Rissani, an ancient caravan city and historic commercial center of southern Morocco. Here you can breathe an authentic atmosphere linked to Saharan traditions.

Arrival in Merzouga and Erg Chebbi

In the afternoon we arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi, up to 150 meters high. The golden dunes create a spectacular and timeless scenery.

Camel Excursion and Night in the Desert

We depart for a camel excursion among the dunes, admiring the sunset in the desert, one of the most emotional moments of the trip. We reach the desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber music around the fire, and overnight stay in a private tent under the stars await us.

Day 3 – Merzouga – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley

The day begins with the evocative sunrise in the desert, when the dunes change color creating a magical atmosphere. After breakfast, we return to Merzouga and continue westward.

Todra Gorges
