After breakfast at the hotel, we will leave Ouarzazate for the desert, passing through the Todra Gorge. The Gorge, a magnificent canyon in the High Atlas Mountains, is the highlight of the second day.
There will be time for a walk on the canyon floor with the spectacular cliffs surrounding you on either side.
Kheterra
As we make our way through the palm tree groves, we stop to visit an ancient underground system of irrigation called Kheterra. It was used many years ago to provide the local farmers with fresh water. While the water has dried up long ago, it is still possible to visit the tunnel systems.
Erfoud
We then pass by Erfoud. The area used to be underwater many millions of years ago. Thanks to that, many fossils can be found there.
Erg Chebbi Sand Dunes
Our next stop will be Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Here, we will start the camel trek into the beautiful Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun begins to set on the horizon, we will ride our camels through the desert for a magical evening at the desert.
As we settle into the camp and relax under millions of stars, our guides will prepare a fresh and delicious Berber dinner.
Better get your camera ready this morning! We will watch the full Moroccan sun rise over the dunes for some of the most spectacular colors as the sun wakes the desert.
After breakfast, try sandboarding at our camp before our camels take us back to town. We then depart for Fes.
Ziz Valley
As we set off for Fes, we will pass by Ziz Valley (one of the largest oases in Africa) and the High Atlas Mountains.
Midelt
We will eat lunch in Midelt, nestled between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains, and was originally a base for the active mining in the area. However, now it has been transformed into a thriving pastoral area surrounded by orchards.
After lunch, we will continue our trip, seeing the beautiful cedar forests in the Middle Atlas as we look out for the abundant Barbary Macaques as we drive through. We'll have the opportunity to meet with them in the forest, an experience you will remember forever. They like to travel in troops of 10 to 30 and are the only macaque species outside Asia. Indeed, they are the only primates found north of the Sahara!
Little Switzerland
We pass by Ifrane, a charming town nicknamed 'Little Switzerland.' Although unusual in Morocco, the architecture of the Middle Atlas Mountains, being in the alpine style, gives this place the charm and magnetism of a European ski resort and is undoubtedly a popular destination for skiers.
Then, we are off to explore the magnificent city of Fes!
Our adventures begin with a visit to the highly decorated and exuberant golden Royal Palace Gate, the Jewish headquarters, and the first Mellah ever built in Morocco during the 16th century.
Medina

Rissani Market
After breakfast, try sandboarding at our camp before we drive to Rissani Market. From the 8th to the 14th Century, it was a separate kingdom known as Sijilmassa. A rich market was established there, thanks to the prosperous caravan routes originating in Mali's capital, Tombouctou, that led to different Moroccan cities like Marrakech and Fes.
The market survives to this day. It is interesting because it is not a tourist souk but serves the people living there. 3 times a week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday), it grows to double its size due to the farmers and nomads meeting to sell their animals, vegetables, dates, and other produce. The tour also includes a stop at Mouly Ali Cherif Museum.
After your traditional lunch (Berber Pizza!!), we will drive back to Erg Chebbi dunes, where you will ride on an ATV for an hour to explore the dunes and watch the beautiful sunset over the dunes. The tour will end at the camp.

On this tour, we will discover the most ambitious project of the late King Hassan II. Completed in 1993, it was partially built into the Atlantic, possesses the world's tallest minaret (210m), and can hold up to 25,000 worshippers inside the mosque hall. It's also the tallest structure in Morocco.
Part of the mosque floor is glass, allowing worshippers to kneel and pray directly over the sea. Minarets are vantage points from which the resonating calls to prayer are made five times a day.
When night falls, lasers shine a hopeful beam from the minaret toward Mecca. This beam ensures that everyone knows the direction of Islam's holiest city and the direct path to God.
La Corniche
Your last attraction will be La Corniche, a gateway for the locals, especially in the summertime; you could walk along the corniche or simply sip a cafe overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or have your lunch before we drive to the hotel.
You will have the rest of the day free to relax at the hotel.
