From Fes to Merzouga
Medina of Fez - Our start will be from Fes the Medina, where your driver/guide will pick you up from your Hotel.
Ifrane - Our expedition from Fes will commence as we traverse through Ifrane, a winter ski resort constructed by the French in the 1930s, designed to mimic the charm of a Swiss village.
Azrou Cedar Forest - Proceed by journeying through the cedar forest in Azrou, where you’ll encounter monkeys, then traverse the Middle Atlas Mountains. Much of the day will be dedicated to navigating through stunning forests, springs, rugged rock formations, and Berber villages as you cross the Atlas Mountains and commence the descent towards the Sahara Desert.
Midelt - At the midpoint, a lunch break awaits you in the town of Midelt, renowned for its fossils and rocks. Following this, the journey resumes towards Merzouga along the road.
Merzouga - Pause to take in a sweeping panoramic view of the vast oasis filled with palm trees before arriving in Merzouga in the afternoon. Following a refreshing mint tea break, your guide and camels will be ready to transport you across the sandy dunes of the erg-Chebbi. Revel in the splendor of the sunset during your camel ride, and after an hour’s journey, you’ll arrive at the desert camp to spend the night in an authentic Berber tent. At your desert abode, your camels are secured, and mint tea is graciously served. Conclude the evening with a delightful dinner, and as you lay beneath the desert sky, indulge in stargazing until you drift into a peaceful sleep.
