In Meknes, we will visit top sights like Bab Al-Mansour, the Sahrij Souani basin, the royal stables, the granary, and the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. Afterward, we continue to Fes, where we will spend the night in a traditional Riad.

Day 3: Fes – Ifrane – Cedar Forest – Midelt – Ziz Valley – Merzouga Sahara

After breakfast, we will head south, passing through Imouzzer towards Ifrane. This town is often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” because of its cool weather, snowy winters, and alpine-style houses. Next, we will visit cedar forests, home to Barbary macaques. You are welcome to feed the monkeys as you explore the area.

Next, we will stop in Midelt for lunch. Afterward, we will travel through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and the Ziz valley, making stops along the way to enjoy the scenery.

We will aim to reach the top of a high dune, the perfect spot to watch a beautiful sunset. At the end of the day, we will arrive at our desert camp, which combines traditional nomad tents with the comfort of a hotel.

Make sure to catch the early sunrise in the desert—it’s a special experience. After breakfast, we’ll ride camels back to Merzouga, where our driver will meet us. From there, we’ll head to Rissani, which was once the capital of Tafilalet and is still an important trading center today.

After exploring the Rissani souk, we’ll continue to Erfoud, where you can visit a fossilized marble workshop.

This stunning canyon, shaped by the Todra River, now draws climbers and adventurers from around the world.

Take in the beautiful scenery as we explore the gorges. You’ll have some free time to enjoy lunch. Afterward, we’ll head toward Dades Valley via Boumalne Dades, stopping to see the unique ‘monkey fingers’ rock formation and enjoy the views. We’ll spend the night at a hotel that includes dinner.
