    Fez to Merzouga

    Departure from Fes is at 8 o’clock. We’ll travel through Azrou, where you can see Barbary apes in the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas. Lunch will be in Midelt, known as “the apple capital,” situated at the foot of Ayachi Mountain. After lunch, we’ll continue over the Tizi-n-Talremt pass and through the Ziz Valley, famous for its palm trees and the extensive oasis. Along the road, you’ll see countless “ksars,” small villages of individual houses. Our journey will then take us through Er Rachidia and on to Erfoud, known for its date festival and fossils. Upon reaching the bivouac in Erg Chebbi, you will be welcomed with a glass of tea. You’ll have time to explore the dunes before witnessing a sunset. Dinner will be served, followed by an evening of music and a night in a nomad tent.

After breakfast, you have the option for a camel ride lasting a couple of hours or less, depending on your preference. We’ll then head towards Tinghir and the Todgha Gorges for lunch.
