through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas. A walk is planned here. The Berbers who
live here are considered the kings of the mountains, having resisted the dominance of
the cities for centuries. To this day, the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains have preserved
their language, music, and dance. Further along the route, you will often encounter

of stone and scree, you drive into the vastness of the Sahara to the orange‑red sand dunes of Erg Chegaga. Enjoy the silence and the lastrays of sunshine as the red fireball
disappears behind the horizon. In the darkness, the campfire crackles under the starry sky of the south.
