Itinerary
- Day 1
Fez to Merzouga
Your hotel pickup happens at 8 am, and then you'll head south through some of Morocco's best landscapes. Ifrane comes first, a mountain town people often call the Switzerland of Morocco, so bring your camera. After that you'll stop in Azrou where cedar forests have monkeys hanging around, which is worth seeing. Lunch happens in Midelt before you cross the Tizi N Talghamt pass, and from there the views of Ziz Gorges are pretty striking. Erfoud is next, known for its fossils and dates if you want to grab something. By late afternoon you'll reach Erg Chebbi and do a sunset camel trek across the dunes. Your desert camp is where you'll stay for the night.

After breakfast you're heading to Marrakech.

Ouarzazate comes next, and there's the Taourirt Kasbah to see plus the Atlas Film Studios if you're interested. Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO site and was used for filming Gladiator and The Mummy, so it's pretty recognizable if you know those movies. You'll have free time for lunch somewhere in there.
