DAY 1 – Fes – Ifrane – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Desert
Pick up from your accommodation in Fes by your private driver/guide at around 7:30 am (please note the earlier you set off is better especially in winter time as you do not need to miss the sunset view in the desert). You will embark on your 3 days Marrakech to Fes desert tour with a nice drive across the surrounding olive orchards before getting to the charming city of Ifrane where you may want to stretch your legs.
Our next break will be at UNESCO preserved cedar forest of the Middle Atlas, which hosts a colony of the endangered “Barbary Macaques”. After lunch, which will take place near Midelt, you will cross the spectacular Atlas Mountains that offer stunning views before reaching the impressive Ziz Gorge where you may want to take some pictures of this Jurassique-era mountainous chain.
After enjoying the panoramic view of the Ziz palm valley, you will get to the majestic sand dunes of Erg Chebbi through the city of Erfoud. It is time to leave the car and go on a camel ride experience across the soft and golden sand dunes while enjoying the miraculous view of the sunset.
Arrive in the luxury desert where you will receive a warm welcome from the staff members, then followed by a nice meal for dinner in a romantic setting. Later, you may want to stretch your legs and gaze at the stars before culminating the day with a relaxing sleep in your private tent.
DAY 2 – Merzouga Desert – Todra Gorges – Dades Valley
Early wake up in the morning, attend the miraculous view of the sunrise over the sand dunes, then have a refreshing breakfast before getting ready to resume our 3 days desert tour from Fes to Marrakech.
