DAY 1

Your desert adventure begins with an early morning departure from Fes. As you leave the bustling city behind, the landscape transforms into rolling hills and dense cedar forests near Azrou, where you may spot Barbary macaques in their natural habitat. Continuing south, you'll pass through the town of Midelt, framed by the majestic peaks of the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you'll have time to stretch your legs and enjoy the crisp mountain air.
As you descend toward the Sahara, the scenery shifts dramatically to arid plateaus and lush palm groves near Erfoud, known as the "Gateway to the Desert." Here, the adventure truly begins as you head towards Merzouga, where towering dunes of golden sand rise on the horizon. Upon arrival, embark on a guided camel ride into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes, soaking in the breathtaking views as the sun sets, casting vibrant hues across the sands. Arrive at your Berber-style desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits. Spend the evening under the star-filled sky, with the gentle sounds of Berber drums creating an unforgettable ambiance.
