Day 01 :

Fes – Ifrane – Cedar Forest – Merzouga Luxury Camp

Your journey begins with a 08:00 AM pickup from your Fes riad by your professional driver. We ascend the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Ifrane, often called the "Switzerland of Morocco," to admire its alpine architecture. We then enter the ancient Cedar Forest of Azrou, where you will have a private encounter with wild Barbary macaques.

After a gourmet lunch in Midelt, we descend into the Ziz Valley, home to the largest palm grove in Morocco. By late afternoon, we reach Merzouga. Here, you will switch to a private sunset camel trek (or 4x4 transfer) into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. You will arrive at our exclusive luxury Sahara desert camp, featuring private ensuite tents, king-sized beds, and hot showers. The evening concludes with a traditional Berber candlelit dinner and live drum music under the Saharan stars.

Day 02 :

Merzouga – Todra Gorge – Dades Valley Boutique Riad

Wake up for a private sunrise viewing over the dunes—a spiritual highlight of any Morocco desert tour. After a traditional nomad breakfast, we depart for the Todra Gorge. Walk through this massive 300-meter-high limestone canyon with a private guide, exploring the hidden gardens and ancient irrigation systems.

In the afternoon, we travel along the "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs" to the Dades Valley. We stop to photograph the "Monkey Fingers" rock formations before winding up the Dades Gorges. Your second night is spent in a boutique luxury riad (such as Chez Pierre or Xaluca Dades), where you will enjoy a fusion of Berber and French cuisine overlooking the lush valley below.

Day 03 :

Dades Valley – Ait Benhaddou – High Atlas – Marrakech

On our final day, we head toward the "Hollywood of Africa," Ouarzazate. We visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, a stunning mud-brick ksar that has served as the filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Your driver will provide a deep dive into the history of this 17th-century fortress.

The grand finale is the crossing of the High Atlas Mountains via the spectacular Tizi n'Tichka Pass (). Enjoy panoramic views of Berber villages clinging to the cliffs before we descend into the palm groves of Marrakech. We conclude our service with a direct drop-off at your Marrakech riad or hotel by late evening.
