Fes - Middle Atlas Mountains - The Sahara Desert

Merzouga Desert - Embark on an incredible journey into the Middle Atlas Mountains, with the first stop being Ifrane. Continue through the vast cedar forests near the Berber village of Azrou, known as The Rock in the local Berber dialect, where the famous Barbary apes, actually macaque monkeys, might try to share your lunch in their natural habitat. As you traverse the Atlas Mountains, believed to hold up the sky, you’ll wind through forested peaks, twisting mountain streams, springs, and stunning, rugged rock walls. Arrive at the significant town of Rissani on the edge of the Sahara, and then head further south to witness the magical appearance of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. At the base of the dunes, your Kasbah/hotel awaits with hot sweet tea. Relax after the long journey and enjoy a delicious dinner accompanied by traditional Berber music until it’s time to sleep.

Share in the Beauty of the Sahara Desert

Merzouga Desert - After breakfast, choose your own desert adventure; perhaps a walk through the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi or a refreshing swim in the hotel pool. At dusk, your camel will be ready to take you on an unforgettable ninety-minute trek through the shifting desert sands into the glorious sunset, arriving at a traditional Berber desert camp to spend the night in a tent surrounded by towering dunes. Your guide will prepare an authentic Moroccan meal while you relax, stargaze, and listen to the soothing sounds of traditional Berber music. A truly unforgettable day.

Merzouga - Marrakech or back to Fes

Jemaa el-Fnaa - Start early to witness the breathtaking dawn over the sand dunes, then gently ride your camel back to your kasbah hotel for breakfast. During the ride, observe the shifting and changing shadows cast by the dunes. After breakfast, continue your journey to Marrakech or return directly to Fes.
