We depart from Fes at 7 am to Ifrane, one of Morocco's most picturesque cities (known as the Switzerland of Morocco due to its winter climate, stunning scenery, and incredible architecture). From there, we go to Midelt via Azrou and the Middle Atlas's cedar forest, where you might see herds of Barbary apes, or monkeys.
After lunch in Midelt, a town renowned for its delicious apples, we will cross the Tizi-n-Talent mountain and enter the Ziz Valley, which is dotted with long oasis and palm trees. Admire the "ksars" or castles of the several Berber towns that we stop at along the way. We pass through the adobe-colored city of Er-Rachidia, making stops to see kasbahs and palm groves along the way. In the afternoon with your driver from Linda Morocco Tours, arrive at Merzouga, where you will spend your first night and have dinner in a hotel.

After breakfast, you can enjoy the pleasures of a leisurely stroll through the enormous dunes of Erg Chebbi, or perhaps you would prefer to go shopping in the neighbouring villages of Merzouga. Next stop is the little town of Khamlia, also referred to as the "black people's village," where the residents will enthral you with their renditions of well-loved Gnawa music. The village is home to descendants of slaves who were taken from Sudan.. After that, take pleasure in an amazing 90-minute camel ride amid shifting sand dunes into a gorgeous sunset. You will arrive at a traditional Berber desert campsite and spend the night in a lovely tent surrounded by the towering dunes. Until it's time to go to sleep, unwind and savour a delectable dinner while taking in the lovely melodies of traditional Berber music. The stars are so numerous and brilliant that you could practically reach out and touch them.

An early start with Linda Morocco Tours will allow you to witness the beauty of the sun rising over the sand dunes. After a leisurely ride on your camel back to the hotel for breakfast, you won't be able to help but notice how the shadows cast by the dunes change and shift throughout the day, growing longer and thinner. Following breakfast, travel with Linda Morocco Tours back to Fez across the majestic Middle Atlas Mountains.
