We’ll begin our adventure by crossing the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, with our first stop at Ifrane, often referred to as the Switzerland of Morocco, for its Alpine-style architecture and cool weather. After a short drive, we’ll pause at the cedar forests of Michlifen, home to wild macaque monkeys, where you can snap a few pictures and enjoy the serene nature. From there, we’ll continue on a long but beautiful drive, passing through the breathtaking Ziz Valley, Morocco’s longest river valley, which is lined with lush date palm oases. Finally, as the day progresses, we’ll arrive at the iconic Golden Dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, where your adventure in the desert begins.
