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.

Merzouga to Dades gorges or Ouarzazate

Dades Gorges - Pause for a leisurely lunch before strolling into the enchanting Todra Gorge. Continue your journey through the captivating Dadès Valley, passing by striking escarpments, and conclude the day with a late dinner at your hotel, either in the Gorges or in Ouarzazate.

Ouarzazate - Start your journey to Ouarzazate after a delightful breakfast, navigating the challenging Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. These kasbahs stand tall like turreted sand castles along the ancient caravan trading route. Renowned for its cinematic allure, this region has been a favored setting for Hollywood productions, including The Last Temptation of Christ, Jewel of the Nile, and more recently, Hideous Kinky. The central region, nestled amidst lush river valleys, palmeries, and radiant mud-brick homes, paints an exhilarating and romantic picture under the azure desert sky.

from Ouarzazate to Marrakech via Tizi n Tichka

Ouarzazate - Indulge in a delightful breakfast before exploring the town of Ouarzazate, encompassing the Kasbah of Taourirt and the renowned Atlas Studios movie studios, the largest and most celebrated in all of Africa. Proceed to Ait Ben Haddou, reaching in time for lunch. Here, you can explore the iconic Kasbah, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and featured in notable films such as The Gladiator, Babel, and Lawrence of Arabia.

Marrakech - Traverse the High Atlas and the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, navigating a road that ascends from the plains to 2260m above sea level.
