In the evening, when the sun goes down, head for the square to enjoy the ambience and have your dinner.
After breakfast, we depart from this amazing blue medina and travel south through green woodlands and pastureland following the river. You may notice how different the buildings are in this region and the traditional dress that the women wear. We will stop to visit the 2nd century Roman ruins at Volubilis; this is an extensive site and yet there is still planning to undergo more excavation. The mosaics, columns and entrance gateway are amazing and well worth the visit. Next stop is the Imperial city of Meknes; it has impressive medina walls and Bab Mansour gate along with the royal granaries, stables and more. We then arrive in the mediaeval medina of Fes; the spiritual and educational centre of Morocco. Overnight in a typical riad.
Your city guide will come to your hotel in the morning and you will start your guided tour of Fes to include a visit to see the gleaming gates of the royal palace, the Mellah, the Borj, where you see a panoramic view of the medina, workshops of ceramic and zellij artisans.

Overnight in the same riad.
Today, we leave Fes and travel south to the Sahara. The terrain is ever changing when you travel in Morocco, the giant cedar forests of Ifrane National Park are home to the Barbary ape and you will have a chance to see them in their natural habitat. Nomads living in the forests and pasturelands can be seen, rivers, lakes and mountains as well as remote rural villages and the vast palm groves of the Ziz Valley. The town of Erfoud is the mineral and fossil capital and here you can visit a workshop and showroom to see the work involved. The Sahara dunes appear on the horizon and the landscape opens out to a vast rocky vista as you continue south to reach the desert town of Merzouga. Overnight in a typical kasbah hotel.

Hidden among the fields of fruit trees and crops are the remains of many kasbahs, they call this the route of a thousand kasbahs; see how many you can spot. This is also home to the Damascus rose, grown here as hedges around the fields of wheat and harvested in May, the roses are distilled to produce the fragrant rose oil and other products. We leave the valley of roses and continue to Skoura; an extensive and ancient palm grove with more hidden kasbahs. Next stop is the Hollywood of Africa; Ouarzazate.
