Itinerary
- Day 1
Fes to Merzouga
Your driver picks you up early from your Fes accommodation and you head south through Imouzzer toward Ifrane, which has this distinctive alpine-style architecture you don't typically see in Morocco. From there you'll drive into the Cedar Forest where you can get close to the Barbary Macaques and actually feed them if you'd like. After grabbing lunch in Midelt, the route takes you through Tizi-n-Tilghmt Pass and along the scenic Ziz Valley. By evening you'll reach Merzouga in the Sahara Desert, where you'll do a camel trek to catch the sunset, then settle in for the night at a luxury desert camp.
