On our 3 Day trip from Fes to Marrakech. Roughly at 7 a.m., you will depart for Errachidia via Ifrane, the former capital of a Jewish kingdom, then Merzouga via Medilt, Ziz Valley, and Ziz Gorges en route to the Sahara Desert. Stopping at the famous and largest cedar forest in Morocco, where you can find Barbarian apes, your trip continues via the luxuriant Ziz Oasis, stopping for panoramic views along the way, and driving through the welcoming Berber villages to Erfoud, then Rissani, the current ruling royal dynasty in Morocco. After a few minutes of tranquility in Merzouga, you start on the camels that are waiting to transport you on an expedition through the sand dunes, where you are able to see a magnificent sunset. In the center of the impressing Sahara Desert, you will spend the night in a fully-equipped Berber camp with drumming around fire.
