Travel plan
Early departure from Fez to Midelt, passing through the mountains and cedar forests of the Middle Atlas. We will pass through Ifrane, a city known as the Swiss of Morocco with a charming ski resort, and Azrou, an important craft center specialized in cedar wood work. After the Zad Pass (2178m / 7146ft), we will arrive at Midelt where we will make a short stop for lunch.
In the afternoon, we will descend towards Erfoud and Errachidia through the Ziz Valley, full of palm trees and we will follow the course of the palm grove with the best dates in Morocco. In Erfoud, the city of fossils, you can see how they are extracted from the quarries and worked into the most varied shapes.
We will continue towards the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Free afternoon to enjoy the Berber town, its people and the dunes.
Once at the accommodation, you will have dinner and spend the night in a hotel at the foot of the dunes to recharge your batteries for the next day.
You will wake up early to see the sunrise. At noon we will visit a nomadic family. In the shade of a tree, you will see how Berber pizza is made and then you will taste it.
After lunch you will rest for a while and then we will take a tour through the desert. We will tour one of the tracks used in the Paris-Dakkar Rally in 4×4; and we will visit the town of Khamlia (town of the Blacks) where we will attend a Gnawa music concert performed by a group of black Berbers originally from Sudan and sub-Saharan Africa, the Mifiss mines and we will meet the Berber nomads of the desert.
At the end of the day, you can have dinner, listen to the sound of drums in the desert night and sleep in a tent in a nomadic camp.
In the morning, after a good shower and a good breakfast, we will head to Dades, passing through Rissani, an important city of food, animals and crafts.
Passing through Erfoud (the capital of fossil marble), the next stop is in Tinejdad, where we will have a delicious meal. After that, we will have the opportunity to stop to enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the river.
We will continue to the Todra Gorges, through the large palm grove of Tinghir, where agriculture, dates, palm trees, etc. stand out.
Here you will have dinner and spend the night.
In the morning, from the Todra Gorges, we will return to different places in the Middle Atlas, visiting the landscapes and Berber villages through the mountains and stopping for lunch on the way until our arrival at the accommodation in Fez.
