The tour begins in Fes and takes you through the Middle Atlas Mountains, the scenic Ziz Valley, and the stunning Erg Chebbi Dunes.
One of the highlights is the opportunity to meet and spend time with a Berber family in the desert, gaining insights into their unique way of life. Another memorable experience is riding a camel across the mesmerising dunes and spending a night camping under the stars. The tour also includes visits to the magnificent Todra and Dades Gorges, the ancient Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, and a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains.
