Merzouga
We will pick you up at your hotel and set off for Merzouga, crossing the Middle Atlas and its cedar woods. This mountain range extends over 350 kilometers from the south-west to the north-east of Morocco. Along the way, you will pass by the Iframe village, also called the “Moroccan Switzerland” because of the architecture of its houses and because it is the most exclusive ski destination in the country. You will then stop at Azrou, one of the most famous Berber towns in Morocco. The day will continue with the visit of the Ziz Valley and the Ziz Gorges, where you will pass through villages like Midelt or Arfoud. From Arfoud, you will take a desert path to arrive in Merzouga. You will spend the night in a hotel near the dunes.

Ouarzazate
If there is something unforgettable in Morocco, it is the sunrise in the desert. After enjoying this moment, you will ride a camel to go to your hotel where you can shower and have breakfast (depending on the type of camp, breakfast and shower can be taken before the walk on camel back). Back in Ouarzazate, you will pass through Rissani and Tafilalet, where the Alaouite dynasty was born and the former capital of the Alaoui sultans. You will then head to the Todra Gorges, where you can admire the valley from the hill, and to the Dades Valley. Leaving the Dades Valley behind us and taking the road of the "thousand kasbahs", we will pass through the surprising Valley of Roses, known for its impressive rose cultivation and we will arrive at the Palmeraie of Skoura. You will end the day in Ouarzazate, where you will spend the night.
