Itinerary

Begin your travels in Fes, venturing through the cedar forests of Azrou, where ancient trees whisper stories of the past. Witness the beauty of Ifrane, a town reminiscent of the Swiss Alps, before descending into the Ziz Valley with its breathtaking vistas. Arriving in Erfoud, take the off-road path to Merzouga, where a night of rest at a local hotel prepares you for the desert adventure ahead.

Stay: Hotel in Merzouga

Dedicate your day to the southeastern Sahara. Discover the lives of nomads, the tranquility of oases, and the expanse of Erg Chebbi's sand sea. Visit Khamlia village to immerse yourself in the soulful Gnaoua music. As the sun sets, embark on a camel trek through the dunes, culminating in an enchanting evening in traditional Berber tents.

Stay: Berber tent in the desert

Awake to the desert sunrise before returning to the hotel for breakfast. Depart for Rissani, once the heart of the Tafilalt region, and journey through palm groves on the way to the majestic Todra Gorges. Drive through valleys adorned with colorful mountains and ancient kasbahs, arriving in Ouarzazate for the night.

Stay: Riad in Ouarzazate

Visit Ait Ben Haddou, an 800-year-old kasbah that stands as a testament to Berber ingenuity. After exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, ascend the Tichka Pass, enjoying panoramic views and lunch amidst the High Atlas Mountains. As evening approaches, arrive in Marrakech, where the energy of the Red City awaits.
