Your adventure begins in Marrakech, where the lively city fades into winding roads through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. After crossing the famous Tizi n’Tichka pass, you’ll stop at Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most iconic kasbahs. It feels like walking into a movie set — because many Hollywood films have been shot here.
Next, continue to Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Africa.” You’ll pass through Agdez and follow the stunning Draa Valley, lined with endless palm groves and hidden kasbahs. By evening, you’ll reach Zagora, the gateway to the desert, where the landscapes shift into shades of gold and ochre. It’s the perfect place to rest and prepare for your desert immersion.
Wake up refreshed and get ready for a day filled with discovery. First, you’ll visit Tamegroute, a village famous for its ancient library and unique green pottery workshops. Then, head south through Tagounite until you reach Mhamid El Ghizlane, the last town before the Sahara swallows the roads.
From here, the adventure gets truly exciting. You’ll meet local nomads, share a traditional tea, and visit a sacred oasis hidden in the desert. After that, ride camels into the dunes of Erg Chigaga, where the silence is as vast as the golden sands. As the sun sets, the dunes glow in warm colors — a moment you’ll never forget.
Evening brings magic: enjoy dinner by the fire, listen to traditional desert music, and gaze at a sky overflowing with stars. Sleep in a luxury tent in the heart of the Sahara, where comfort meets wilderness.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise paint the dunes in soft pink and gold — it’s worth every moment. After breakfast, the adventure continues across the wild landscapes of the Sahara. You’ll pass through the dry bed of Iriqui Lake, cross rocky plateaus, and travel off-road toward Foum Zguid, a desert town at the edge of the dunes.
Next, stop at Taznakht, the carpet capital of Morocco, where you can admire traditional Berber weaving and rich colors that tell centuries-old stories. By late afternoon, you’ll drive back through scenic routes to Marrakech, arriving with memories of an unforgettable desert escape.
