Day 1: Pick up in Errachidia airport/Hotel - drive to Merzouga Camel Trekking and night in the desert

One of our team will meet you at Errachidia airport in the southeast of Morocco. From here we will travel south through extensive palm groves and kasbahs, adobe villages and traditional towns. You will start to see the desert landscapes and as we near Merzouga, the red gold dunes come into view. Once in Merzouga, we will meet your camel man and prepare for the ride over the dunes to your camp and overnight in the nomad tents. Dinner and music around a camp fire will be provided and weather permitting; a fantastic show of stars.

Day 2: Merzouga Desert - Erfoud - Ziz Valley - Midelt - Azrou - Ifrane - Fes

An early start to the day to catch the sunrise, breakfast and a camel ride back to meet your driver. You travel northwards and visit the fossil workshops in Erfoud before passing alongside the Ziz Valley; a palm filled gorge with hidden kasbahs. In Midelt, we stop for a lunch break. From here the landscapes change to mountains and forests. In the great cedar forests of Azrou, it is possible to stop and watch the Barbary monkeys that live there. Ifrane is an alpine town similar to Switzerland with its sloping rooves. After a short break in Ifrane, we leave the forests and take the road to Fes.
