After breakfast, drive through the Draa Valley, home to Morocco’s longest river and dotted with ancient kasbahs and date palms. Stop in Zagora, the gateway to the desert, before visiting Tamgrout. Here, you’ll explore its traditional pottery workshops and the historic Quranic library. Continue your journey to M’Hamid El Ghizlane, where the desert begins, and venture deep into the vast dunes of Erg Chigaga. Spend the night in a luxurious desert camp, enjoying camel rides, sandboarding, and an evening of stargazing by the campfire.
Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, leave the Sahara behind and journey through remote desert landscapes to Tata, a small town with a unique charm.
