A full day exploring one of the world's best-preserved medieval cities. Guided tour of Fes el-Bali (UNESCO): the 9th-century Al-Qaraouiyine University, the spectacular Bou Inania Madrasa with its cedar woodwork and mosaic tilework, the famous Chouara Tanneries where leather has been processed the same way for centuries, and the medieval Attarine Souk (spice market). Lunch at a Fassi restaurant — try traditional harira soup and pastilla. Afternoon free to explore the Mellah (Jewish quarter) and the artisan copper and ceramic workshops of the northern medina.

Early departure from Fes. Drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains — stop in the charming alpine town of Ifrane, known as Morocco's Switzerland, with its Swiss-chalet architecture and famous stone lion sculpture. Continue through the Cedar Forest of Azrou where wild Barbary macaque monkeys roam freely — a wonderful wildlife encounter. Lunch in Midelt, the apple capital, in the dramatic valley between the Middle and High Atlas. Cross the stunning Ziz Gorges and Ziz Valley palm oasis — one of Morocco's most spectacular drives. Arrive in Merzouga at sunset. Mount camels for a magical sunset camel trek into the towering Erg Chebbi dunes. Overnight in a luxury desert camp — traditional music around the fire, Berber dinner under a billion stars.

After breakfast, depart west through the Draa Valley and the ancient city of Rissani (birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty). Continue to the spectacular Todra Gorge — narrow canyon walls rising 300 metres above a crystal-clear river, a paradise for hikers and climbers.
