Day 1:FES  , IFRNE, MIDELT, ERFOUD, and MERZOUGA 

As early as 08:00 from your Fes hotel, your guide will come to pick you up and take you to the southern area of Morocco. You’ll take a break at Ifrane, sometimes called “the Switzerland of Morocco,” to take in the scenery and snap some photographs. After that, you’ll make your way to Azrou, where a cedar forest is home to some very rambunctious monkeys. 

We’re going to push on to Midelt for some lunch. In the afternoon, we will cross the pass of Tizi n Tlghamt to reach Errachidia while appreciating the views of Ziz Gorge. After a while, we’ll pause to take in the expansive Ziz valley below us. After lunch, we will drive via Erfoud, the Moroccan capital city of fossils, and then we will arrive in Merzouga for evening and our stay.

 Days 2: , MERZOUGA-ERG CHEBBI TOURS,

Our day of exploring the Erg Chebbi dunes begins bright and early. To hear some Gnawa music, which has its roots in Ghana and Sudan, we will go to a Berber home. We will journey to a desert oasis surrounded by palm trees and abandoned mines inhabited by Berber nomads. The plan is to return to Merzouga in time for lunch. After we’ve had some time to unwind, we’ll go over to the camels so they can take us on a safari across the sand dunes.

Everything we need for the journey into the desert will be loaded onto the camels before we set out. It will take about an hour and a half to ride through the dunes to the interior, and each passenger will have their own camel.

After checking into your private tent, you can go for a stroll on the dunes and enjoy the sunset while sandboarding. As night falls, you’ll return to camp for some mint tea (or “Moroccan Berber Whiskey,” as the locals call it). Then, back at camp, you can enjoy a hearty helping of authentic Berber tagine from Morocco. The celebration will begin immediately following the meal. Nomadic musicians from the Berber culture will perform their traditional music, complete with drums and dance. After that, you can relax in the tranquil desert while gazing up at the star-studded sky. Camping out for the night like a nomad

Beds, electricity, a private bathroom with a shower, and air conditioning are all available in the tents, among other amenities (please let us know which amenities you would like for an accurate quote).

DAY  3: ERG CHEBBI, RISSANI, and TODRA GORGES

Listen for your guide’s soft voice as dawn approaches, and get up to watch the sun rise over the Saharan sand dunes. We’ll take camels back to Merzouga for breakfast and showers after our night in the desert. Leaving for Todra Gorge, we will travel off-road over the hamada (black Desert) to reach to the Sahara village of Rissani to see the lively local market. Afterwards, we go north to Erfoud, noted for its fossils, and may stop to visit a fossil workshop before we proceed to the magnificent Todra canyons. Before we head to our hotels for supper and the night, we can do hiking or rock climbing in the canyons, but you may need to make additional bookings.

Here, we will get the opportunity to visit one of these families, have a look at their everyday lives, and learn about their major activity: caring after herds of goats and sheep. Before reaching Skoura palm grove and finally Ouarzazate for supper and overnight, you will have the opportunity to take in the breathtaking scenery of the Valley of the Roses.

 Day 5: OUARZAZATE to AIT BENHADDOU via the High Atlas to Marrakech

After breakfast, we will visit Taourirt Kasbah before heading for Ait Benhaddou. The Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, featured in such films as “The Man Who Would Be King,” “Jewel of the Nile,” “Jesus of Nazareth,” “The Message,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Mummy,” and “Gladiator,” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After that, we’ll go to the High Atlas Berber settlement of Telouet and its famous Kasbah el Glaoui.
