Upon reaching the apex of Kasbah Hill, you'll be awed by the breathtaking views of the ancient caravan routes to Marrakech and the distant peaks of the High Atlas Mountains. Explore the ruins of the Kasbah that still reveal the ancient culture of the Kasbah dwellers. After a scrumptious lunch, we'll proceed to Dades Valley via Ouarzazate, popularly known as "Hollywood Africa," where you can visit the movie studios and Kasbah Taourirt.

Right after breakfast, we will chauffeur you to the picturesque Oasis of Tinghir, where you'll be treated to awe-inspiring natural scenery en route. Following that, you'll relish a delectable lunch before proceeding to Erfoud, the largest date market in the country. From there, we will head straight to the periphery of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in Merzouga. Once we arrive, our friendly camels will be ready to embark on a tour through the dunes to the desert camp. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the sand formations before savoring a scrumptious dinner under the twinkling stars. Indulge in the mesmerizing rhythm of the Berber drum music around the campfire before retiring for the night in a Desert Camp.

Rise and shine early in the morning to avoid missing out on the mesmerizing sunrise. Thereafter, relish in a hearty breakfast before mounting your friendly camels for a return journey to the rendezvous point with the vehicle. Once there, we'll bid farewell to the desert and kickstart our tour toward Fez via Rissani and Tafilalet. En route, we'll traverse through the valleys of Ziz and the Ziz gorges before indulging in a delectable lunch at a local restaurant nestled in the middle Atlas Mountains. Our tour will continue through the vast cedar forest, home to the Barbary monkeys, offering you a fantastic opportunity to catch a glimpse of them. Later, we'll pass through Azrou, a typical Zayan Middle Atlas Berber village, before finally arriving at Fez, where we'll enjoy dinner and spend the night.

The whole day will be devoted to discovering the delights of Fes, the oldest imperial city in Morocco that was established by Moulay Idriss II in the eighth century. You'll have the opportunity to explore a range of cultural and historical landmarks that epitomize the city of Fes. These include the Médersa Attarine, Ennajarine Fountain, the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, the Qaraouiyine Mosque, and the old city (Medina). In the evening, you'll check into your hotel/riad.

Once breakfast is done, we'll make our way to Meknes, one of the four imperial cities of Morocco. You'll be able to marvel at one of the world's most magnificent gates, the "green gate of Bab Mansour," and explore Lahdim Square before heading off to Volubilis to discover the Roman ruins. After being given a guided tour of the area, we'll then continue our journey towards Chefchaouen in the north of Morocco, passing through Ouazzan and other small villages along the way.
