After a delightful breakfast, we embark on a journey towards Ifrane, a picturesque mountain village often referred to as the “Switzerland of Morocco.” From there, we continue our expedition to Midelt and finally reach the mesmerizing Merzouga.

Throughout this scenic drive, you’ll be treated to glimpses of the Middle and Higher Atlas Mountains, offering breathtaking vistas. A stop at Azrou, a charming Berber village nestled within the renowned cedar forest, the largest in Morocco, allows one to admire the forest’s beauty. As we venture closer to Errachidia, the landscape transforms, revealing hints of the desert.

Indulge in a delightful lunch, savoring the warm Berber hospitality. Our journey continues along the lush Ziz Valley, occasionally pausing to admire panoramic views before reaching Erfoud and Rissani. By the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, where you’ll spend the night in a hotel.

After a hearty breakfast, an exciting 4×4 tour awaits. We’ll visit fascinating desert caves, home to natural desert fossils. Following the road used by the Paris Dakar rally, we traverse the desert, with its striking black volcanic rocks, and have the opportunity to meet a Tuareg family in the Khamlia village. This village is renowned for its African population and vibrant music, including an annual music and dance festival held in the first week of August.

Returning to the hotel, the day’s highlight awaits as you embark on a camel ride, meandering through the dunes to reach a desert camp. Here, you’ll experience an enchanting evening filled with Berber music, sandboarding, and an overnight stay under the starlit desert sky.
