After lunch, your guide will take you on a bus tour of the imperial city, Meknes. You will return to Fez in the evening for dinner.

Day 5 Erfoud (B, D)

Day 6 Sahara Desert (B, D)
In the afternoon, you will head off in some 4-wheel drive vehicles across the barren land to the majestic Sahara sand dunes.
