We head south to cross the Middle Atlas Mountains until we reach Ifrane, called “little Moroccan Switzerland” due to its great resemblance to that country. One of the animals that formerly lived here was the Atlas lion, which is why it has become the symbol of the city and to which a stone statue has been dedicated in the center of it. We will take the opportunity to stop and take some photos. We will cross the famous cedar forests. We will be able to admire the Great Gouraud Cedar, the largest ancient cedar in the region and also feed the hundreds of Gibraltar monkeys that live in the area. Lunch in Midélt and from here the land becomes arid and full of spectacular geological formations and deep green valleys, such as the Ziz Valley. We will begin to see the typical adobe architecture, palm trees, some distant Kasbahs… we are at the gates of the desert. After an hour after Erfoud we arrive at the impressive Merzouga Dunes. Arrival at the hotel at the foot of the dunes, to leave in a camel caravan to enter the heart of the dunes and contemplate an unforgettable sunset. We will arrive with the dromedaries to the camp where we will stay in Jaimas “Tents made with dromedary hair” like those used by desert nomads. Dinner and night in Jaimas in the heart of the desert under a spectacular blanket of stars.
