After breakfast, your driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech. Travel through the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, enjoying several scenic stops along the way. Pause at the panoramic viewpoint overlooking the famous Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou for photos before continuing through Ouarzazate toward the magnificent Merzouga Desert. Upon arrival, enjoy a sunset camel trek across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes and spend an unforgettable night in a traditional Sahara desert camp with dinner, Berber music, and stargazing.
After breakfast, begin your final day of the tour with a scenic drive toward Fes.
Travel through the spectacular Ziz Valley, one of Morocco’s largest palm groves, where you will stop at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the oasis. This is a great opportunity to take photos, enjoy a coffee, and use the restroom facilities.
Continue your journey through the Zaabel Tunnel and the town of Midelt, often referred to as the “Apple Capital of Morocco.” Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing north.
In the afternoon, visit the beautiful Cedar Forest near Azrou, home to the famous Barbary macaques. Here, you will have the chance to observe these playful monkeys in their natural habitat.
Before arriving in Fes, make one final stop in Ifrane, known as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its clean streets, alpine-style architecture, and pleasant climate.
