Transfer to the Ziz Valley with Cultural Stops

Travel from Fez to Erfoud at a relaxed pace, taking in the changing landscapes along the way. The journey begins with a stop in Ifrane, a small mountain town known for its cool climate and neat streets. Often compared to alpine towns, it offers a different view of Morocco. Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where cedar forests and open stretches of land create a calm backdrop. Midway, take a short break in Midelt, a quiet town noted for its apple orchards and fresh air—an easy place to rest before continuing on. The road then leads through the Ziz Valley, where scattered villages and clusters of palm trees follow the river. The contrast between dry hills and green patches makes for a peaceful drive. As you approach Erfoud, the scenery becomes more open, with signs of the Sahara beginning to appear. At the edge of the desert, you’ll meet your camel guide for a short ride to a camp set among the dunes. In the evening, enjoy a simple meal and the quiet of the desert. The wide sky, clear air, and sense of space offer a gentle end to a long day of travel.
