Day 1:  Fes – Azrou – Arfoud –  Merzouga

The team will meet you at your accommodation in Fes at 7:30 a.m. for departure across the Middle Atlas Mountains. Ifrane, known as the cleanest city in Morocco, is the first city on our route. Continuing our journey, we pass through the charming town of Azrou, followed by Midelt and the stunning Ziz gorges.

As we proceed, the landscape transforms into a desert-like area. Upon reaching Merzouga, the Erg Chebbi dunes come into view on the horizon. The mode of transport in the desert is by camel, and we make our way to an equipped camp where we’ll spend the night. To capture the beauty of the desert, we ascend the high dunes to witness a breathtaking sunset. The night is spent in traditional nomad tents.

The second day unfolds with a mesmerizing sunrise over the dunes. We embark on a camel trek back to the hotel, where breakfast and a refreshing shower await.

En route, we venture through the forests of Azrou, where an optional stop allows us to handfeed the resident monkeys. Our path takes us back through Ifrane, retracing our initial route.
