After enjoying a traditional breakfast, your Morocco desert adventure continues as you drive through the enchanting Dades Valley and the fragrant Valley of Roses. Your first stop is the Skoura Oasis, where you can stroll through lush palm groves and tour the historic Kasbah Amridil, one of the best-preserved living museums in the country. From there, you will head to Kalaat M’Gouna, the heart of Morocco’s rose production and home to the famous Rose Festival held every May.

As you travel along the iconic Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, you will find endless photography opportunities before heading off-road into the Boutaghrar region. Here, you will experience a unique cultural encounter by meeting High Atlas Nomads who still reside in traditional caves. After sharing an authentic lunch with a local Berber family, your journey leads to the dramatic Dades Gorge. You will have the chance to marvel at the unique “Monkey Toes” rock formations and the historic Kasbah Ait Youl. To conclude the day, you will enjoy a peaceful overnight stay in a traditional Berber guest house, complete with a local dinner and mountain views

Following a traditional breakfast at your hotel, we depart the dramatic Dades Gorges to begin our journey toward the majestic Erg Chebbi, home to Morocco’s highest and most iconic sand dunes. This route offers a captivating transition from rugged canyon landscapes to the vast expanse of the Sahara. Following the Path of the Berbers, you will traverse ancient trade routes, passing through authentic Berber villages and the historic desert towns of Tinjdad and Erfoud, a region renowned for its fossil-rich geology. You will also have the chance to marvel at the sprawling greenery of the Tafilalet Oasis, one of the world’s largest and most significant desert oases.

Upon your Merzouga arrival, you will enjoy a period of refreshment and relaxation in this gateway village before your desert immersion truly begins. As the day cools, you will embark on a guided camel caravan across the rolling orange dunes, providing the perfect opportunity to capture professional-grade photographs of the enchanting Saharan sunset. Your journey culminates in an unforgettable night at an exclusive Berber luxury camp, where you will dine on gourmet Moroccan cuisine before retiring to a premium, well-appointed tent under a glittering canopy of stars.

Wake up early to witness a breathtaking Sahara Desert sunrise over the dunes before enjoying breakfast at your camp. Your second day of exploration begins with a thrilling 4×4 desert excursion across the historic tracks of the former Paris-Dakar Rally. Along the way, you will stop at the lush Tissardmine Oasis to explore ancient fossil quarries and visit traditional nomad settlements to learn about their unique lifestyle and customs.

The journey continues to a panoramic viewpoint offering stunning vistas of the Erg Chebbi dunes, followed by a visit to the village of Hassi Labied. Here, you can stroll through a traditional oasis and see the ingenious underground irrigation systems still in use today. A cultural highlight of your Morocco desert trip is a visit to Khamlia Village, where you will meet the local community originally from Mali. Enjoy a refreshing cup of mint tea while listening to the rhythmic, spiritual sounds of Gnawa music. After a day of discovery, you will be transferred to your Merzouga hotel, leaving a free afternoon to climb the nearby sand dunes for sunset or relax before a traditional Moroccan dinner and overnight stay.

After a delicious breakfast, you will begin the final leg of your Morocco adventure, traveling north through the sprawling Tafilalet palm grove, widely considered the largest in the world. As you drive along this scenic route, you will encounter the lush Ziz Valley, where the river flowing from the High Atlas Mountains creates a stunning green oasis. A stop at a panoramic viewpoint provides the perfect opportunity for photos of the valley’s palm-fringed landscapes.

Your journey continues over the high-altitude “Camel Pass” (Tizi n’Talghomt), reaching heights of 1,907 meters as you traverse the rugged mountains toward Midelt, the heart of the Atlas region, for a relaxing lunch break. In the afternoon, the landscape shifts as you enter the ancient Cedar Forest of Azrou, where you may spot wild Barbary macaques (monkeys) among the trees. Before completing your transfer to Fes, you will explore Ifrane, known as the “Switzerland of Morocco.” Renowned for its alpine architecture, pristine gardens, and the Michlifen ski resort, Ifrane offers a unique European atmosphere in the Middle Atlas. Finally, around 6:00 PM, you will arrive at your destination for a comfortable drop-off at your Fes hotel or Riad.
