Today is dedicated for exploring Fes, one of the oldest living cities in the world. Begin with your licensed local guide outside the Royal Palace Gates and the surrounding Jewish Quarter. Enter the ancient, maze-like streets of the old Unesco-listed medina, Fes el-Bali, and take in the historical university of Al Quaraouiyine, the beautifully decorated Bou Inania Madrasa and the colorful tanneries.

Find yourself in craft quarters where weavers, copper smiths and potters reside. Continue with lunch in a medina restaurant before returning to your riad to experience ease and quiet. Overnight in Fes.

After breakfast, drive through the picturesque middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop is Ifrane, a clean town that has earned the nickname “the Switzerland of Morocco,” followed by the cedar forest of Azrou where wild Barbary macaques live. Visit the apple pitting center Midelt then descend through the beautiful Ziz Valley, stop for a panoramic view at a verdant oasis planted known for its palms.

By the afternoon, you will be in the Merzouga Desert, where camels will be waiting to take you on a sunset hike across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Relax at a luxury desert camp, at night you will be served with a traditional dinner, and Berber music beneath the stars. Overnight at desert camp in the sahara.

Rise early to see the sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, you will visit the village of Khamlia, where you will hear and dance to the rhythms of Gnawa music. Next, visit nomadic Berber families, discover the Mifiss mines and the seasonal lake of Merzouga, which appears during rainy seasons. You will also stop by an oasis in the desert. Pause for a traditional Berber pizza for lunch. Return back to Merzouga in the late afternoon and relax in a comfortable hotel by the dunes. Overnight in Merzouga.

Say goodbye to the desert and head to Rissani, a town famous for its traditional souk and spiritual history. On market days, the town comes to life with local wares, including spices and dates, and various handicrafts. After a stroll in the Market, we keep driving in the direction of the Todgha Gorges, a deep canyon flanked by towering limestone walls that soar 300 meters in the air—great for a scenic walk or an impromptu photo-op. Post lunch onwards, drive through the delightful Dades Valley, cauliflower of rock, pitted by tiny pinnacles dwarfing the kasbahs. Spend the night in a lovely riad in the valley.
