Fes Desert Trips's driver, will pick you up from you hotel or Riad at 7 am for the fabulous journey up into the Middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop will be the delightful town of Ifrane, built by the French in the 1930's and known as Morocco's Switzerland because of it's Alpine chalet-styled architecture and aspect. In the winter it is snow covered and there is a ski resort, Michliffen, nearby.
Next you will travel through the huge cedar forests around the Berber village of Azrou, The Rock in the local Berber dialect where the famous Barbary apes, actually macaque monkeys will attempt to share your lunch in their natural habitat.
Then, passing through the Atlas Mountains, that are said to hold up the sky, winding your way through forested peaks, twisting mountain streams and springs and spectacular, rough rock walls, you will arrive at the important Sahara's edge town of Rissani, then continuing on south, you will be surprised by the sudden appearance, as if by magic, of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. At the foot of the sand dunes your Kasbah/ hotel awaits you, hot sweet tea is served and then you can chill out after the long journey and enjoy a delicious dinner while listening to the sweet strains of traditional Berber music until it is time to sleep.
Day 2 : Share in the Beauty of the Erg Chebbi Dunes and the Hypnotic Sahara
After breakfast you can choose your own experience; the delights of a walk through the immense dunes of the Erg Chebbi perhaps a refreshing dip in the hotel swimming pool, or maybe you'd prefer the option of a shopping trip to the nearby villages of Merzouga, with the largest underground natural reservoir in Morocco, and then the tiny Khamlia, called the village of the black people, as it is inhabited by the descendants of slaves taken from The Sudan who will enthrall you with their performances of their much loved Gnawa music.
At dusk, you will find your camel prepared to carry you off into the glorious sunset on an unforgettable ninety minute trek through the shifting desert sands before you arrive at a traditional Berber desert encampment to spend the night in a tent, surrounded by mountainous dunes.
Your guide will cook you an authentic Moroccan repast while you just take it easy, watching the stars, so many and so bright, you feel you could reach out and touch them, and listening to the soft sounds of time-honoured Berber music. A truly memorable day.
