We head south, crossing the fertile Saiss plains and climbing into the Middle Atlas Mountains.

These friendly monkeys are often seen along the roadside, offering a great photo opportunity.

The journey continues to Midelt, nestled between the Middle and High Atlas ranges, where we pause for a lunch break.

In the afternoon, we traverse the impressive Tizi N-Talghoumt pass, descend into the Ziz Valley, and follow the Ziz River as it winds through dramatic gorges and vast palm groves. Along the route, you’ll spot traditional Kasbahs and ksour, offering glimpses of life in the pre-Saharan oases.

By late afternoon, we arrive at the edge of the Merzouga Sahara Desert, where your adventure truly begins. A camel ridethrough the sweeping dunes leads you deep into the desert’s heart. As the sun dips below the golden sand, witness the mesmerizing display of colors that make Erg Chebbi a world-renowned sunset spot.

Upon reaching your Sahara desert camp, you’ll be welcomed with traditional mint tea. After freshening up, enjoy a warm dinner served under a canopy of stars. The night is brought to life with nomadic music and drumming by the campfire, where local Berbers sing songs of love, tradition, and desert life — a magical end to your first day in the Sahara.
