Day 1: Fez – Ifran – Atlas – Erfoud- Merzouga

Your guide will pick you up early in the morning, the direction will be Merzouga through the Middle Atlas via Ifran, Midelt, Erfoud and Rissani. You will have lunch in one of the crossed regions, depending on the time.
Many stops are planned on the way to allow you to contemplate the beautiful scenery (oasis of cedar forest inhabited by monkeys living in the wild) We remain at your disposal if you wish to stop to admire a view or take pictures.
Once you arrive in Merzouga, you will settle down at the hotel and then get ready for a camel ride in the dunes. You will watch the sunset in the silence and beauty of nature. You will return to your rooms to change your clothes and have dinner.

Still in Merzouga, it is on this day that you will leave to discover the desert with the idea of spending the night in the middle of the sand dunes.
All, or almost all of us arrived in the desert with the idea of spending the night in the middle of the sand dunes. But in reality, the camps are no longer in the middle of the desert as they were a few years ago. The Moroccan government has decided, with good judgement, to move the camps to the edge of the desert.
Now all the camps are where the sand dunes end. Despite this, we can tell you that the experience of spending the night in a camp is magical. You will admire the sunset over the dunes, so waking up and being able to walk on the sand with nothing but silence as a companion is an unforgettable experience.
But apart from sleeping in a tent in the desert, other activities can be done in Erg Chebbi such as quad biking or camel riding.

The 3rd day of the tour will be a bit special, as you will wake up to a sublime sunrise. You will return to Merzouga by camel and admire on the way, the beautiful dunes of Erg Chebbi. These dunes have the peculiarity of changing colors during the day.
You will then quietly take your breakfast, change your clothes and leave to see the Todra gorges where you will have lunch. It is with a special welcome that the inhabitants of the region will meet you, you will admire their delicious cuisine and their exceptional culture. The next destination is the Dades valley to discover a unique place called “monkey toes”, it is a group of rocks like no other. A nice hostel in the Dades Gorges will be waiting for you to spend the night.

You will leave the Dades valley and head for the Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains through the valley of roses, skoura, Amridil and finally arrive in Ouarzazate to sleep there.

After waking up and having breakfast, let’s discover Ouarzazate and especially the studio where the shooting of several famous movies like Game of thrones and Gladiator took place. Then you continue the trip to Marrakech and then stop in Casablanca, the last destination of this tour.
