After picking you up at your hotel or riad in Fez, we'll set out for the desert of Merzouga. On the way, we'll pass through towns such as Ifrane, "the Moroccan Switzerland". We'll also visit the landscapes of Azrou, one of the most captivating villages in this part of Africa.

Still captivated by the unforgettable experience of watching the sunrise over the dunes of Merzouga, we'll have breakfast and then start our route towards the Todra Gorges, whose incredible landscapes will leave us speechless!

Our day will end in the fascinating natural environment of the Dades Valley, where we'll have dinner and rest in a hotel until the next day.

Onc we've had breakfast at the hotel we'll go to Ouarzazate, and visit the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou.
