Tour Plan

Day 1 Fes to Merzouga: Through the Middle Atlas Mountains and Ziz Valley

Begin your day with an early departure from Fes, traveling south through the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains.

  • Imouzzer and Ifrane:
    Your first stop is Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its charming alpine architecture and pristine surroundings.
  • Azrou and Berber Culture:
    Continue through Azrou, a mountain village whose name means "the rock" in Berber. Here, you’ll witness the traditions of the Berber people, who have preserved their way of life for generations. The cedar forests nearby are home to playful Barbary macaques—an excellent spot for photos and a short nature break.
  • Mountain Passes and Oasis Views:
    Travel deeper into Berber sheep-breeding country, crossing the Col du Zad and the Tizi Talghemt Camel Pass. As you descend into the Ziz Valley, admire the lush Efous Oasis and pause to capture the beauty of this verdant landscape, dotted with ancient kasbahs and traditional Berber villages.
  • Arrival in Merzouga:
    Upon reaching Merzouga, meet your nomad guide for an unforgettable camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. Ride for 1.5 to 2 hours through the golden sands as the sun sets, casting a magical glow over the desert.
  • Overnight in a Berber Camp:
    Arrive at your desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional mint tea. After a delicious dinner, gather around the campfire to enjoy Berber music and drumming under a starlit sky. Spend the night in a comfortable Berber tent, surrounded by the serenity of the Sahara.
Day 2 Return Journey: From the Dunes of Merzouga to Fes
  • Sunrise Over the Dunes:
    Start your day early to witness a spectacular sunrise from the top of a dune. The changing colors of the sands as the light shifts are a truly unforgettable sight.
  • Breakfast and Departure:
    freshen up with a shower and breakfast before beginning your journey back to Fes.
  • Scenic Return Trip:
    Retrace your route through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping along the way to stretch, explore, and capture photos of the stunning landscapes.
