- Tour plan :

After breakfast in your riad, we head towards a place called Ifrane, passing through a village called Imouzzer. Ifrane is special because it is very cold, snowy and has houses that look like those in the mountains of Switzerland. Then, we go to a forest where monkeys called Barbary macaques live. You can give them food and walk around the forest. After that, we go to a village called Midelt, where we have free time for lunch. Then, we drive to another desert of Merzouga through a pass and along a valley with stops to see nice views. In the afternoon, we reach the Sahara desert in Merzouga. Here, we ride camels and cross the sandy desert. We stop on a high sand hill to watch the sunset. Finally, we go to a camp, which is a mix of nomadic tents and a fancy hotel. There, you can listen to Berber drum music, dance around a bonfire and admire the stars in the open sky. Dinner and accommodation at the camp.  

Today, you should wake up early to enjoy the stunning sunrise in the heart of the desert. After breakfast, you will ride your camel towards Merzouga. Where is your driver waiting for you? We head to Rissani, which used to be the capital of Tafilalet. It is still an important place for trade and has a large market that is very busy on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Then, we drive through palm groves in Touroug and Tinjdad to reach the Todra Gorges. These are huge canyons with red walls carved by the Todra River. Climbers really like these gorges, and you can explore them to enjoy the amazing views. We will stop for lunch and take photos at prominent places. Our next stop is Kalaa Magouna to visit the Valley of Roses. If you are lucky enough to visit in May, you might find the Rose Festival, where locals sell rose-related products such as cosmetics, rose water, oil and perfumes. We then pass through the palm groves of Skoura and arrive at Ouarzazate, where we take a tour of the film studios used for famous productions.
