Departure from Fes and Visit to Ifrane

Sunrise in the Sahara and Breakfast in Merzouga
We wake up early to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, an experience that will be etched in memory forever. After breakfast at the desert camp, we ride our camels back to Merzouga before heading towards Rissani, a historic town known for its traditional souks and historical significance as the cradle of the Alaouite dynasty.
