Itinerary

Day 1:Fes – Ifrane – Midelt – Todra Gorge

Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Fes before heading south through the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop is Ifrane, famous for its alpine-style architecture, clean streets, cool climate, and beautiful mountain surroundings.

Continue to the cedar forests near Azrou, where Barbary macaques roam freely among centuries-old cedar trees. After enjoying the peaceful scenery, travel through traditional Berber villages toward Midelt, where you’ll stop for lunch.

In the afternoon, continue through Er Rich and remote mountain landscapes before arriving at the spectacular Todra Gorge. Towering limestone cliffs surround a narrow river, creating one of Morocco’s most impressive natural wonders.

Enjoy time to explore the canyon before dinner and an overnight stay in a comfortable hotel near the gorge.

Day 2:Todra Gorge – Erfoud – Merzouga Desert

After breakfast, enjoy a final walk through Todra Gorge before continuing your journey through desert villages and palm-filled oases toward Erfoud.

Known as Morocco’s fossil capital, Erfoud is famous for its prehistoric marine fossils. Visit a local fossil workshop and discover how these ancient stones are transformed into decorative artwork and handcrafted furniture.

Continue to Merzouga, where the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes rise dramatically above the desert landscape.

After a traditional welcome with Moroccan mint tea, begin your unforgettable camel trek across the golden dunes as the sun sets over the Sahara. Pause to admire the spectacular colors of the desert before arriving at your luxury desert camp.

Relax in your private ensuite tent before enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber music around the campfire, and an unforgettable night beneath thousands of stars.

Day 3:Merzouga – Rissani – Ziz Valley – Fes

Wake early to witness one of the Sahara’s most magical moments as the sunrise transforms the golden dunes with spectacular colors. After breakfast, return to Merzouga by camel or private 4×4 and begin the scenic journey back toward Fes.

Travel through Rissani, a historic desert town famous for its traditional market and rich caravan history, before continuing through Erfoud toward the magnificent Ziz Valley.

Stop at panoramic viewpoints overlooking one of Morocco’s largest oasis systems, where thousands of date palms create a striking contrast against the surrounding desert cliffs.

After lunch in Midelt, continue across the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing cedar forests and charming mountain scenery before arriving back in Fes in the late afternoon, where your unforgettable Sahara adventure comes to an end.
