On day one, spanning a driving distance of approximately 490 kilometers, the journey is expected to take around 7 hours and 40 minutes under normal driving conditions, culminating in an opportunity to experience unique activities and to visit many sites including:

Ifrane

Nestled in mountainous highlands at an elevation of 1,655 meters above sea level, the charming city of Ifrane boasts a population of 13,380. Known for its picturesque landscapes that often find themselves cloaked in snow during the colder months. The city’s name, an Amazigh (Berber) word meaning "caves," pays homage to the numerous caves that dot the surrounding area. Interestingly, Ifrane was once called "Oorti," another Amazigh term, which translates to "garden" or "orchard," reflecting the lush, verdant environment and the abundance of natural beauty found here. Due to its striking resemblance to the alpine sceneries of Europe, Ifrane has earned the nickname "Switzerland of Morocco," a testament to its breathtaking mountainous terrain and the temperate climate that draws parallels with the renowned European country.

Cedar Forest

Located about 13 kilometers from the city of Azrou, highest total surface of Atlas cedar in the world, which was named after the French General Henri Joseph Gouraud at the beginning of the 19th century, who governed the area at that time. This forest is distinguished by the presence of the endangered Barbary macaques. It also hosts the Gouraud cedar tree, the oldest of its kind in Africa, with an age exceeding 800 years.

Lunch Time

Proceed to have your lunch at a local restaurant in Midelt, then continue your journey.

Merzouga Desert

Distinct from the lush landscapes of Ifrane and the dense cedar woods near Azrou, the Merzouga Desert emerges as a breathtaking expanse of golden sands in southeastern Morocco. It is famed for its vast sea of dunes, primarily the Erg Chebbi. These majestic dunes can reach heights of up to 150 meters. Here, amidst this serene yet landscape, you can experience a captivating camel trek and savor the unforgettable sunset from atop a towering dune.

This adventure culminates in an overnight at a luxurious camp where dinner becomes an exploration of Moroccan culinary traditions. Far from the light pollution of cities, the camp provides an excellent opportunity for stargazing, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the desert night sky.
