DAY 1: FROM MARRAKECH TO CAO ATLAS - AIT BEN HADDOU - OURAZAZATE
Your departure will be from your accommodation at 8:30am.
First we have to cross the High Atlas Mountains. The Tizi-n-Tischka Pass is the highest pass in North Africa and is worth stopping for a photo. After a few kilometers, we will leave the main road to visit the Kasbah of Telouet, which is a very old Kasbah belonging to the Glaoui family. We climbed through the Ounila valley and you could see the small Berber villages, the small kasbah and the gardens until we reached Ait Ben Haddou. You will have a lunch break before visiting Ait Ben Haddou's Kasbah.
After you return, we will continue to Ouarzazate, where we will spend the first night.
DAY 2: OUARZAZATE TO ZAGORA AND M´HAMID EL GHIZLANE
After breakfast in Ourazazate, we will begin the second day of the desert excursion to Zagora. You will be amazed at the number of palm trees and oases in the Draa Valley. They will be with us all the way, from Agdz. Along the way, you'll have a short visit to Tamnougalt's Kasbah. We will also pass through the beautiful villages of Tansikht and Tinsouline before reaching the largest town in the region, Zagora. Here we will have a break for lunch.
In Tamgroute, we will visit pottery workshops and the old Koran library.
We will also pass Tagnite to reach the desert gate M´hmid el Ghizlane. Here comes the end of the asphalt. Tonight, you will sleep in a beautiful unique campsite in the M'hamid sand dunes.
DAY 3: M´HAMID EL GHIZLANE TO ERG CHEGAGA
We will start the day with breakfast in the desert camp.
Deserts are not just the big sand dunes that visitors think of. It is a mixture of Hamada (rock desert), oasis, flat land and mountains. All this you can see in this area.
We will take a 4x4 car and reach Erg Chegaga in 2 hours. Here, you will spend the third night in a standard desert camp.
In the evening, you'll ride a camel to watch the sunset atop the largest sand dune in Morocco, Erg Chegaga.
Day 4: From the sand dunes of Erg Chegaga to Lake Iriki - Foum Zguid, Taznaght, return to Marrakech
After having our last breakfast in Morocco's Sahara desert, we will cross the Chegaga sand dunes to reach the dry and salty Lake Iriki. We will stop in the middle of the lake for a cup of tea with the local nomads of Lake Iriki at the terrace of the Titanic restaurant.
After that, we will continue to Foum Zguid for lunch at a cafe called Chegaga.
From the Forum Zguid, you can follow the paved road all the way up to the High Atlas Mountains. We will pass through Taznaght - the carpet capital. We will take a different path from where we came from, so you can enjoy a different view. We will arrive in Marrakech late at night and drop you off at or near your hotel.
