Fez/Ifrane/Midelt/Merzouga

Middle Atlas - Departing from Fez, the journey begins with an ascent through Ifrane, a winter ski resort built by the French in the 1930s to resemble a Swiss village. The tour includes a visit to the cedar forests in Azrou, where monkeys can be seen, and a drive across the Middle Atlas Mountains. The day is spent winding through beautiful forests, springs, jagged rock faces, and Berber villages while crossing the Atlas Mountains, eventually descending towards the Sahara Desert.

Enjoy the stunning sunset on camelback, and after two hours, reach the desert camp to spend the night in a Berber tent. At the desert shelter, camels are hobbled, and mint tea is served. After dinner, enjoy stargazing. Overnight in the Berber tent.
