After breakfast, your guide will drive you to the south of Morocco from your accommodation in Fes. In Ifrane, Morocco’s “Switzerland,” you’ll pause to soak in the scenery and snap some shots. Then it’s on to Azrou, where you may observe monkeys having a good time in the cedar forest. We’ll continue on to Midelt, where we’ll have lunch, and then go back. On our way to Errachidia, we’ll cross the Tizi n Tlghamt Pass and take in the views of the Ziz Gorge.

The camels will be loaded with water, food, blankets, and other necessities before we set off for the desert. It will take 1.5 hours to get to the interior of the dunes, and each passenger will have their own camel.

After setting up camp, take a stroll around the dunes to take in the stunning sunset and try your hand at sand surfing. Afterward, you’ll return to the camp for mint tea (what we call Moroccan Berber Whiskey!) and a good book. After that, you’ll have a hearty Moroccan Berber tagine dinner at the camp. The festivities will commence after the meal. Traditional Berber nomad music will be performed with drums and dancing by local musicians. After that, you’ll be able to gaze up at the night sky and relax in the desert. A nomad camp meal and a night’s rest are included.
