8 DAYS TOUR FROM FES
Our 6-day tour from Fez to Marrakech begins with a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains, arriving in Ifrane, known as the "Switzerland of Morocco" due to its pictorial resemblance to a Swiss ski resort. Next, we venture into the cedar forest, where we encounter and interact with the cheerful Barbary macaque monkeys, capturing memorable photographs with them. Continuing our route south, we pass through charming Berber villages and wander through the countryside, witnessing nomadic shepherds tending their herds amidst the vast terrain. After a refreshing lunch break in Midelt, we continue over the Talghmt Pass, enjoying panoramic views of the stunning oasis hidden in the Ziz Valley, adorned with palm trees and mud villages. As the day progresses, we arrive in the Sahara Desert in the late afternoon, where we settle into our hotel for a delicious dinner and a comfortable overnight stay.

After these unforgettable experiences, you will return by camel to the lodge to check in and refresh yourself with a hot shower.

To fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Sahara, it is essential to get up early in the morning, which will allow you to witness the sunrise of your life. Board the camels and return to the hotel, where you will meet your driver. Our route west takes us through Rissani, a town known in the past as a vital trading center for caravans passing through Morocco and neighboring countries. If we coincide with the daytime markets held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, we will have the opportunity to explore the largest souk in the region. Continuing our expedition, we will reach Erfoud, a city famous for its fossil discoveries. Passing through picturesque Atlas Mountains and charming villages, we will head to the enchanting Todra Valley, a green oasis surrounded by ancient adobe villages.

Here, vertical cliffs rise up to 300 meters, while natural springs cascade down. Our journey continues through the captivating Dades Valley, where you will marvel at the sandcastle-like formations and peculiar rock structures affectionately known as "monkey fingers". Conclude the day by staying overnight in a hotel or riad that offers picturesque views of the Dades Valley.

Going off the beaten path, we arrive at Boutghrar, a place where the beauty of nature harmonizes with vibrant colors. Here we will have the opportunity to visit the nomads who live in caves and share a cup of hot tea with them. Continuing our expedition, we reach El Kalaa Mgouna, also known as the City of Roses, where locals annually collect more than 400 tons of rose petals, which are skillfully processed into exquisite rose water, creams and perfumes in local cooperatives. This vibrant town celebrates a festival in May in honor of roses in bloom. Enjoy a delicious lunch in town before continuing along the Route of the Thousand Kasbahs to Skoura.
