Your private driver will pick you up from your Fes hotel or riad in the morning. The adventure begins with a drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through the charming alpine town of Ifrane, famous for its European-inspired architecture and clean mountain air. Continue toward Azrou, where you’ll visit the Cedar Forest, home to friendly Barbary macaques. Enjoy a scenic lunch stop in Midelt, nestled between the Middle and High Atlas ranges. In the afternoon, drive through Ziz Valley and its sweeping palm groves before reaching Erfoud, known for its fossil workshops. From there, continue to Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. At the edge of the dunes, your camels await for a mesmerizing sunset trek across the sands of Erg Chebbi. Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner, traditional music around the campfire, and a peaceful night beneath the stars in your private ensuite tent.
Rise early to witness a magical sunrise over the dunes, a truly unforgettable moment. After breakfast at camp, you’ll ride your camel (or take a 4×4 transfer) back to the hotel for a refreshing shower.
