On the road out of Fez the air shifts from city heat to the cool, cedared slopes of the Middle Atlas, then opens into the ochre sweep of the Ziz Valley and ultimately the living dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Accommodation is a standard nomadic-style desert camp with tents, basic bedding, and shared facilities; some nights may be in guesthouses en route.
The tour is not recommended for travelers with serious heart or mobility issues due to long drives and camel riding; inform the operator of any medical needs.
