Midelt: Fes – Midelt. This morning we travel over the Moyen Atlas. Along the way the scenery becomes very alpine, until we get to the attractive town of Ifrane – the so called coldest town in Africa! This beautiful location is often likened to a Swiss Alpine resort. Along the way we also start to see our first glimpse of Morocco’s nomadic Berbers – travelling across the mountains and often staying in tents as they head to their next destination. Look out for the inquisitive residents, the Barbary Macaque monkeys, as we pass through the cedar forests on our way to Midelt – the Apple capital of Morocco! Arriving late afternoon, the rest of the day is free for you to to relax by the pool or take part in an optional walk in the local orchards.

Depending on the time of the year, we will spend the afternoon relaxing and swimming before climbing aboard our camels for an incredible trek into the Sahara Desert to watch a beautiful sunset and spend the night at our remote Berber Camp, nestled amongst the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi. We enjoy local food, music and an amazing night camping in the Sahara.

Ait Benhaddou – ancient fortified Kasbah: Dades Gorge – Ait Benhaddou – Marrakech. En route back to Marrakech today we pass through Ouarzazate, North Africa’s Hollywood! We continue to Ait Benhaddou, an incredible ancient fortified kasbah built for defence purposes high on a hill with a bubbling steam within its shadows. The stunningly well preserved medieval city has famously featured in many movies, including Gladiator and Laurence of Arabia, as its beauty is unequal to any other fortified kasbah in south Morocco.
