High Atlas Tour from Fez to Ouarzazate
6 nights / 7 days
Trip description
Southern Morocco , an authentic journey to discover the south of the country . This 4x4 route awakens us in Fez , whose medina , the envy of the Arab world , is a beautiful labyrinth where you can easily get lost . The road takes us through unique places like the towns of Ifrane , known as Little Switzerland , and its forests of Giant Cedars , until we reach Erfoud , the gateway to the great Erg Chebbi Desert , a spectacle for the senses : endless dunes and the aura that emanates from magical places will allow us to spend an unforgettable night under the stars . We will leave the desert and reach the High Atlas Mountains , discovering landscapes along the way, stopping to contemplate their beauty , to talk with the villagers , and to leisurely enjoy their secluded villages and immense gorges .
