After a delicious breakfast at the riad, we begin our guided tour of the medina, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its labyrinthine streets are structured by guilds of potters, dyers … etc., and the bustle of its people will transport us back centuries. We will notice that it is a medieval city and that time has stopped in the clock “Magana Bounania”… 1,200 years after its construction. A marvel! Not far from Fez we will cross Ifrane, “The Moroccan Switzerland”, before reaching the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, where we will stop to visit the families of monkeys that live there. It’s time for the Atlas Mountains. A surprising change of scenery awaits us: we enter the Great South. The land becomes arid, with spectacular geological formations and deep valleys, such as the Ziz Valley, huge green spots in the middle of the desert.
