The second tour will take you further afield to explore historical sites including the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the Grand Mosque, and a stroll around the small town of Meknes. This town is famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bab Mansour Gate – an ancient wooden gate to the once imperial city of Bab Mansour, which is a spectacular example of Almohad architecture. Lunch will be at a local Moroccan restaurant called the Scorpion House, which is set in a beautiful, authentic Moroccan home with incredible views of Moulay Idriss – an important pilgrimage site. In the evening you will return to Fez, where you can dine in at your Riad or enjoy a meal out in Fez. We recommend Dar Roumana, which serves traditional Moroccan cuisine set around a central courtyard.

After breakfast on the rooftop of your Riad, your driver will transfer you on a scenic drive through the cedar forest in Ifrane, stopping for lunch en-route at a local inn around midday. After lunch, continue through the Ziz Valley, close to the Atlas Mountains before arriving at the start of the Sahara Desert via an ancient caravan route. A 4×4 vehicle will meet you at the collection point and drive you to the camp. Upon arrival, you can freshen up and relax before departing a serene camel ride through the desert. Return to camp for a nomad-style dinner with drumming around the campfire.
