Day 4: Merzouga Desert – Midelt – Ifrane – Fez

Today we set off early and embarked on a long drive to Fez. After a scenic stop in the Ziz valley, thousands of palm trees are scattered here and there. Once again, we cross the Atlas Mountains.

the Middle Atlas-stopping not only for a snack but also for short stops at impressive viewpoints. The highlight will be crossing the town, also called the Moroccan Swiss Ifrane, which has one of the largest cedar forests in Morocco.

If we are lucky, we will encounter the famous Barbary macaques, which have migrated as far as Gibraltar. Feeding them is allowed here, but caution is advised. The road takes us further through Morocco and Switzerland. It is green (or white in winter).

The adapted alpine-style houses do not seem to belong here. We stop briefly in the mountain town of Ifrane. Then we descend on the other side of the mountains to Fez. Once there, we accompany you to your accommodation, a traditional riad.
