After breakfast, your adventure begins as you travel across the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, offering breathtaking panoramic views of valleys, traditional Berber villages, and dramatic mountain landscapes. Along the way, you’ll visit the legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most iconic fortified villages and the filming location for numerous international movies and television series. After exploring the ancient kasbah, continue through Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Sahara,” before driving through the beautiful Valley of Roses and arriving in the scenic Dades Valley, where you’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night surrounded by impressive rock formations and peaceful mountain scenery.

This morning, continue your journey through southern Morocco towards the spectacular Todra Gorge, where towering limestone cliffs create one of the country’s most impressive natural landscapes. After enjoying time to explore the gorge, travel through traditional Berber villages and the fossil-rich town of Erfoud before reaching the magnificent dunes of Merzouga. Here, you’ll leave your vehicle behind and begin an unforgettable camel trek across the golden sands of the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun slowly sets over the Sahara. Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner followed by traditional Berber music beneath a sky filled with countless stars, creating one of the most memorable experiences of your Moroccan adventure.

Wake early to witness a breathtaking Sahara sunrise before enjoying breakfast at the desert camp. You’ll then leave the desert behind and travel north through the beautiful Ziz Valley, famous for its endless palm groves and spectacular oasis scenery. Continuing through Midelt and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains, you may even have the chance to spot the playful Barbary macaques. Before arriving in Fes, stop in the charming alpine-style town of Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” because of its clean streets and European architecture. Arrive in Fes during the late afternoon and settle into your accommodation for the evening.

After breakfast, enjoy a full-day guided tour of Fes, Morocco’s oldest imperial city and one of the world’s largest medieval medinas. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, you’ll discover historic landmarks including the Royal Palace gates, the famous Al Quaraouiyine University, the colorful Chouara Tanneries, beautiful madrasas, bustling souks, and countless hidden alleyways that preserve centuries of Moroccan history and craftsmanship. Throughout the day, you’ll gain fascinating insight into the city’s rich cultural heritage before returning to your riad for a relaxing evening.

Leaving Fes behind, your journey continues south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing cedar forests, charming mountain villages, and scenic countryside.
