journey with "Fes City Travel" as our driver picks you up from your hotel or Riad at 7 am, commencing a fascinating ascent into the Middle Atlas mountains. Your initial stop takes you to the charming town of Ifrane, constructed by the French in the 1930s and often referred to as Morocco's Switzerland due to its Alpine chalet-styled architecture. Traverse through the vast cedar forests surrounding the serene Berber town of Azrou, known as "The Rock" in the local Berber dialect, where Barbary Apes eagerly share your lunch in the heart of their natural habitat.
Continuing through the Atlas Mountains, described as the pillars holding up the sky, you'll wind your way through forested peaks, meandering mountain streams, and spectacular rock formations. Arriving at the Sahara's edge town of Rissani, the journey south unfolds, revealing the mesmerizing Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Towering up to 50 meters, these dunes extend eastwards into the Algerian Sahara Desert. Embark on an unforgettable ninety-minute camel trek into the enchanting sunset, traversing the shifting sands until you reach a traditional Berber desert encampment. Spend the night in a charming tent amidst the mountainous dunes, savoring a delightful dinner while enjoying the sweet melodies of traditional Berber music. Fall asleep beneath a myriad of glittering stars, creating a surreal and intimate connection with the desert sky.
