Our first stop is Ifrane, a charming mountain town often nicknamed the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its clean streets and alpine style architecture. From there, we head deeper into the Middle Atlas Mountains, where a break in the cedar forest gives you the chance to meet the famous Barbary macaques cheeky and curious monkeys that call this region home.
Lunchtime is relaxed and flexible, with a stop at a local restaurant along the way. As we approach Merzouga, the landscape transforms into the palm-lined Ziz Valley, a stunning prelude to the desert magic ahead. By late afternoon, we reach Merzouga just in time for a camel trek into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Each of you will saddle up for a peaceful ride through the sand, stopping on a high dune to soak in a jaw-dropping sunset.
