On the way, we will cross cities like Ifrane, known as the small "Moroccan Switzerland" for the architecture of their houses, and Azrou, one of the most famous Berber cities of Morocco where we meet the wild monkeys of Barbary. We will cross the valley and the gorges of Ziz and we will stop for lunch in Midelt. Then continue to Erfoud where we will take a desert track to Merzouga. We will spend the night in a hotel next to the big dunes.

The second day is devoted to enjoying the most spectacular part of the Eastern Sahara. We will enter the desert in 4X4, visit nomadic villages, see an oasis and cross the dunes of Erg Chebbi. After the road, we will visit the famous village of Gnawa in Khamlia, where the blacks, slaves of Africa at first, live, and enjoy their amazing folk music.
