After breakfast, we drive through Todra Gorge. Limestone cliffs rise over 300 meters on both sides. You’ll have time to walk along the river at the base.
We continue through Tinghir and Erfoud, towns known for date palms and fossil workshops. By late afternoon, we reach Merzouga and the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Camels wait for you here. You’ll ride across the sand as the light shifts from gold to orange. At the top of a high dune, you’ll watch the sunset over the Sahara. Dinner and Berber drum music follow at camp. You sleep in a private tent under a clear desert sky.
Wake before dawn for sunrise over Erg Chebbi. After breakfast, you’ll return to Merzouga by camel or 4×4, where your driver waits.
We drive north along the Ziz Valley, passing palm groves and fortified villages. A stop in Midelt gives you time for lunch and a view of the Middle Atlas foothills.
We continue through the cedar forest near Azrou, home to wild Barbary macaques. Then we reach Ifrane, known for its alpine-style buildings and cool climate. The tour ends with a drop-off at your riad or hotel in Fes, usually between 6 and 8 PM.

You carry only what you need for the night. The camp’s 4×4 transports the rest of your luggage and meets you at camp.
