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.

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.
