Today, you'll start the sightseeing tour with the exquisitely decorated Medersa el-Attarine, close to the spice and perfume market. Then you'll head to Bou Inania, widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Marinid architecture. The best way to explore Fes is without expectation or knowing exactly where you want to go. The best place to do this is in the markets of Fes El Jdid, one of the four main districts of the city.

Today, you'll travel to the small desert of Merzouga, pausing en route for lunch in Midelt and marvelling at everyday life as you pass Berber villages, endless date palm plantations and the Atlas Mountains. You'll continue to the desert dunes of Erg Chebbi, where a reception with mint tea and pastries awaits at your nomadic camp. As the sun sets over the dunes, celebrate your unforgettable desert foray with a scenic sundowner and a traditional meal in front of a campfire.

From Marrakesh, you will be taken to the High Atlas Mountains, through mountain passes and valleys; both very refreshing in summer. You'll walk on the hundred-year-old paths taken by the local of the villages. You'll have a picnic lunch facing the mountain, an opportunity to deepen your knowledge on this rural part of Morocco, the locals and their lifestyles. You'll return to Marrakesh in the early evening.
