Merzouga Desert
12h · Admission ticket included
Start your fabulous journey up into the Middle Atlas Mountains. The first stop will be Ifrane. 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.
