The starting point of this tour is usually the city’s airport, although we can arrange pick-up from other locations, such as your hotel. In any case, our staff will pick you up punctually to begin the journey right away. A English-speaking driver will be at the wheel of a comfortable, private vehicle.

From there, we’ll head south, and soon the Middle Atlas Mountains will come into view. This mountain range, with peaks rising over 3,000 meters above sea level, is home to many places worth visiting and admiring.

Our first stop is in the city of Ifrane. At first glance, you’ll understand why it is known as the Switzerland of Morocco – its green surroundings and gable-roofed buildings evoke the landscapes of other latitudes, such as the European Alps.

The next point of interest on the route is Ifrane National Park, also known by two popular names: the Cedars Park or the Monkey Forest, as both are abundant here. These trees create a dense and vast green area in the landscape and provide the perfect habitat for Barbary macaques, the only primate species found north of the Sahara, making them a true symbol of the country.

After exploring this protected natural area, we will cross the Middle Atlas and, descending its southern slopes, observe how the landscape becomes more arid. This signals that the desert is near, which we will reach by passing through the Ziz Valley.

Following the natural route that runs alongside this river, we will arrive in Erfoud, a small desert town internationally famous for the important fossils discovered here, including some dinosaur remains.

About 40 km beyond Erfoud, our road from Fez leaves the asphalt as we reach the town of Merzouga. Here, we will hop on camels for an excursion through the dunes of Erg Chebbi, some of the most iconic in the Sahara Desert. This two-hour ride will be unlike anything you’ve experienced before and will end at our tented camp.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with traditional Berber tea. As night falls, an army of stars will fill the sky, shining brighter than anywhere else in the world due to the absence of light pollution and clouds. Undoubtedly, it’s an unbeatable way to end the day, as you’ll spend the night in Berber tents with total comfort.
