Early morning, we wake up to enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the desert, undoubtedly one of the best
and most beautiful moments in Merzouga. After a typical breakfast in our bivouac, you’ll peacefully camel-trek back to the village of Merzouga. From here, you'll hop in the car and start the journey to Fes. En route, we'll pass the beautiful valley of Ziz and Errachidia as well as the Cedar Forest where, if we're lucky, we'll be able to spot a few monkeys. Arrive in Fes in the late afternoon.
