After breakfast, continue the journey by 4×4 toward the spectacular Todra Gorge, a dramatic and colorful canyon popular with nature enthusiasts. From there, drive through the scenic Ziz Valley toward Erfoud, an oasis town often called the gateway to the Sahara and known for its fossil discoveries. Here you may visit a local workshop producing decorative items and crafts made from fossils, with the option to purchase souvenirs.
Next, travel to Rissani to explore its traditional local souk before heading toward the desert village of Merzouga. At a checkpoint you will leave the vehicle and begin a camel trek across the dunes with experienced guides. The ride leads to the Merzouga Desert Camp where you will spend the night in traditional Berber tents, enjoying a memorable dinner beneath the stars accompanied by tribal music around a desert campfire.

The city is divided into three sections: Fes el Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with more than 9,000 winding streets surrounded by ancient walls; Fes-Jdid, home to the historic Jewish quarter; and the Ville Nouvelle, the modern district built during the French era. Later in the day, depart for Chefchaouen where you will stay overnight.
