Desert Adventure: From Fes to Marrakech

Begin your desert journey with a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane, nicknamed the “Switzerland of Morocco,” then continue to Azrou, where you’ll encounter cedar forests inhabited by wild Barbary macaques.

Enjoy lunch in Midelt, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, before crossing through the Ziz Valley and arriving in Erfoud, a town known for its fossils and desert landscapes.

As the sun begins to set, hop on a camel trek into the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch the desert glow at sunset, then settle into your luxury desert camp, where a traditional dinner, live Berber music, and a sky full of stars await.
