We’ll stop in Ifrane, also known as the “Switzerland of Morocco,” before continuing on mountain roads with views of the gushing Oued Ziz and on to Erg Chebbi via a variety of kasbahs and palm groves. We’ll begin our camel ride to the desert camp as soon as you arrive, stopping in the middle of the golden sand dunes so you can take in the breathtaking sunset before continuing on to the camp where you’ll spend the night. After dinner, we’ll sit around the fire and play some traditional music on the drums while gazing at the stars.

DAY 2: SAHARA DESERT 4×4 TOUR

On this day, getting up early to view the sunrise close to the camp is something that we highly recommend doing. After breakfast, you will begin your desert tour by riding in a four-wheel drive vehicle to explore the region of the Merzouga Desert. You will begin by going to an area with fossils, and then you will continue on to visit nomadic families and learn about their way of life, which is centered on their cattle. shall have a cup of tea with them before moving on to the Mifiss mines, which are a historic coal mine that was run by French firms during the 1900s. Following that, we make a pit stop in Khamlia, which is a small community populated by people who are originally from places in sub-Saharan Africa and are famous for their Gnaoua Music. They will showcase dances from Africa in addition to their own original music. You enjoy lunch in the village, which consists of “Berber Pizza,” a cuisine that is traditional to the region. After lunch, you will get in your car and go to the hotel that is located on the dune’s edge.
