Day 1: Fes to the Golden Dunes of Merzouga

​

Your journey begins with a private pickup from your Hotel or Riad in Fes at 8:00 AM. We’ll ascend into the Middle Atlas, stopping at the "Switzerland of Morocco," Ifrane, and the ancient cedar forests of Azrou to meet the resident Barbary apes. After a scenic drive through the lush Ziz Valley and the fossil-rich town of Erfoud, we arrive at the edge of the Sahara. As the sun begins to set, enjoy a camel trek into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes. End the night at our desert camp with a traditional dinner, a campfire party with Berber drums, and a night under the stars.

Day 2: Saharan Sunrise to the Red City (Marrakech)

​

Wake early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the dunes before enjoying a traditional breakfast. After a camel ride back to Merzouga, we set off toward the High Atlas Mountains. We’ll cross the Draa Valley and the Anti-Atlas range, passing through authentic Berber villages like N’kob. After a stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou and a lunch break in Ouarzazate, we’ll traverse the winding Tizi N’Tichka pass. We’ll arrive in Marrakech around 7:00 PM, concluding your epic desert crossing
