Along the way, you will pass by the Iframe village, also called the “Moroccan Switzerland” because of the architecture of its houses and because it is the most exclusive ski destination in the country. You will then stop at Azrou, one of the most famous Berber towns in Morocco.

The day will continue with the visit of the Ziz Valley and the Ziz Gorges, where you will pass through villages like Midelt or Arfoud. From Arfoud, you will take a desert path to arrive in Merzouga.
