Your desert adventure begins with a 9:00 AM departure from your Marrakech accommodation. We'll cross the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2,260m), offering breathtaking panoramic views. Descending into the Ounila Valley, we'll visit the historic Telouet Kasbah, an impressive example of traditional Berber architecture.

After lunch, we continue through the picturesque valley to reach Ait Ben Haddou, the legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site that has starred in numerous Hollywood productions. Explore this magnificent fortified village before we proceed to Ouarzazate, known as "Morocco's Hollywood," where you'll spend the night in a charming riad.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic journey along the legendary "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs", winding through the lush Rose Valley—renowned for its fragrant rose plantations and vibrant green oases dotted with almond and fig trees.

Pass through traditional Berber villages, where you’ll glimpse daily life in rural Morocco. Arrive at the dramatic Dades Gorge, where towering cliffs and winding roads create a breathtaking landscape. Take a short hike to immerse yourself in its raw beauty before settling into a cozy guest house for the night.

After breakfast, journey deeper into Morocco’s desert landscapes, where the rugged High Atlas Mountains give way to the golden sands of the Sahara. Your route takes you through:

• Erfoud: The "Gateway to the Desert," famous for its fossil workshops and succulent dates. Visit a local factory to see artisans transform ancient fossils into exquisite handicrafts.
• Rissani: A historic trading hub and home to the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif, founder of Morocco’s Alaouite dynasty in the 17th century.

By afternoon, arrive at the mesmerizing dunes of Merzouga. Here, mount a camel for a serene trek across the undulating sands of Erg Chebbi, pausing to witness a breathtaking desert sunset. Your evening unfolds at a luxury desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner, Berber music, and a sky ablaze with stars await.

Following breakfast, return from your desert camp by camel or 4WD vehicle to meet your driver. The journey to Fes unfolds through diverse landscapes:

• Ziz Valley: Marvel at panoramic views of this lush oasis, a striking contrast to the desert.
• Midelt: Stop for lunch in this charming town, renowned as Morocco’s "Apple Capital" for its abundant orchards.
• Cedar Forests of Azrou: Traverse the majestic Middle Atlas Mountains, where wild Barbary macaques inhabit ancient cedar woodlands.
• Ifrane: Admire this alpine-inspired city, often called "Little Switzerland" for its European architecture and cool climate.

Arrive in Fes by evening, where the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco awaits.
