Departure from Fes at 8 o'clock, travelling via Azrou, where you can see Barbary apes in the cedar
forest of the Middle Atlas. Lunch is in Midelt, “the apple capital”, at the foot of the Ayachi Mountain.
We continue over the Tizi-n-Talremt pass and through the Ziz Valley, which is particularly well-known
for its palm trees and the length of the oasis. All along the road there are innumerable “ksars”, small
villages of individual houses. From here we reach Er Rachidia and then Erfoud, famous for its date
festival and fossils. The night is spent in a traditionally built hotel.
In the morning after breakfast, you will continue to Rissani to visit the soukhs there. From here you
will take the 4x4 to the lake and then visit Berber nomads for some music. Lunch is at the Erg Chebbi
dunes in Merzouga at an auberge with a swimming pool near the dunes. Once at the bivouac, you
take a camel ride to watch the sunset from the top of the dunes. Back at the bivouac, dinner is
served, followed by an evening of music and the night in a nomad tent
If you wake up early enough, you can watch the spectacle of the sunrise, when the colour of the
dunes and the play of shadows are an awesome sight. After breakfast you can walk in the dunes
before leaving for Tinghir and the Toudgha gorges for lunch. The road passes through Tinjdad and the
Toudgha Valley. Here there are plenty of opportunities to walk, such as along the river through the
gardens or up the road on the other side of the gorges. Later the itinerary continues to the Dades
Valley and the Dades Gorges for the night in a hotel
After breakfast a walk in the Dades Gorges is scheduled. Back at the car, the trip to Ouarzazate
continues, going off-road along the Boutarar piste to visit Berber nomads in their caves and partake of
a glass of tea with them. From here we continue through the Valley of the Roses, famous for its Rose
Festival in May, and past the kasbahs of Skoura. In Ouarzazate, you stay in a riad.
After breakfast, the route goes on to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a World Heritage site and the backdrop
for many Hollywood blockbusters. It is the most famous Kasbah in Morocco. From there the road
continues to Telouet, along the new asphalted road. Telouet is set right in the midst of the mountains
and was once the seat of the last Pasha of Marrakesh, El Glaoui, from where the highest pass in
Africa, Tizi-n-Tichka was controlled. At the end of the afternoon we arrive in Marrakesh.
