The whole day is spent in the desert. “Date with the sunrise”  If you are In the middle of the desert, it`s absolutely worth getting up early to contemplate the most spectacular sunrise you´ve ever seen at the top of a dune close to the Glamping and enjoy this landscape, which is a gift of nature. After sunrise we return to the camp on the where a hearty breakfast is waiting for us.  Then we`ll skirt the Sahara desert, great extension of sandy desert where we can find  the Big Dune of Morocco. which has more than 250mts high. We continue then by the road that was formerly used for the “Paris – Dakar”  and ends in the mountains that limit with Algeria. Stop at Mfis where we can find Fossiles quarries still present in the area, we continue then by a road where we can see nomad settlements and learn their secrets and manners. The next stop will be at a viewpoint to contemplate the whole big dune. We`ll reach then Khamilia Village, originally from Mali, where we´ll take a relaxing cup of tea meanwhile we listen to a concert of the spiritual music of Gnawa.Transfer to your accommodation and free afternoon to enjoy the town or the dunes next to the camp to see the sunset.

3rd Day : Merzouga Desert and monkey troupes of Azrou – Fes

Once ready, our team and you start our last day to the north through the Tafilalet palm grove, the biggest in the world. You´ll see thousands of palm trees along the 20km of road.  This way leads us to the Ziz valley, which river comes down from the high Atlas and feeds the palm grove. Here we make a stop and from this high viewpoint,  enjoy a magnificent  view of the valley and the town of Aoufous. We make another break in Midelt, just in the heart of the Atlas where you´ll have free time for lunch and rest for a while. In the afternoon we continue our way through the Cedar Woods where, if we are lucky, we´ll see some monkeys. The next place we´ll visit is the city of Ifrane, situated in the northwestern slope of the Middle Atlas at 1630 meters above the water level. Its broad avenues, its urban development with perfect cleanness, the gardens, the green areas and its architecture make this city look like a swiss town.  Ifrane feels misplaced in Morocco.  Thats why it´s named the moroccan Switzerland, and if that´s not enough it has an important ski resort, Michlifen, About 6 pm we arrive at Fez,  transfer to the hotel, and end of our services. And we wish you a good health and live in peace for ever.
