Day 1: Fes - Ifrane - Ziz Valley - Merzouga Desert
Pick-up at 07:30 from your hotel/Riad in Fes by your private driver/guide. We highly recommend starting our journey the earliest the better as you need to be in the Sahara desert of Merzouga before the sunsets. Our first stop after driving through the nearby plain is in the charming town of Ifrane. It is often called the Switzerland version city of Morocco because of its Alpine architecture.
We will have a nice drive through the cedar forest of the Middle Atlas that hosts a colony of Barbary Macaques. After having lunch near Midelt, we will continue on the track crossing the spectacular High-Atlas Mountains, then include a short break for taking pictures in the panoramic palm valley of Ziz before arriving in the majestic sand dune field of Erg Chebbi.
Go on a camel ride experience while enjoying the breathtaking view of the sunset before getting to the luxury desert camp. Enjoy your dinner, then have a musical session performed by the staff members using drums and castanets. Include the day with a relaxing sleep in your ensuite tent.
