Day 1 Marrakech
Greet and meet at the airport and transfer to your Riad. You will be welcomed at the airport by Ben and your guide.
Day 2 Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Zagora
You will be picked up in the morning and head towards Ouarzazate via the Tichka Pass. This trip will offer you views of the High Atlas Mountains and beautiful scenery peppered by small Berber villages typical of the region. We will make a stop in Ouarzazate to visit Kasbah Taourirt, the old Gladoui palace residence of the Pasha of Marrakech. Then, on route to Zagora, we will visit the small town of Agdz and impressive Kasbah of Tamnougalt with distinctive wall decorations and tapering towers. We will continue passing the scenic river Draa Valley lined by many palm groves and Sub Saharan Berber villages.
Day 3 Zagora – Tamengroute – M’hamid – Erg Chigaga
We will depart in the morning toward Tamegroute, which is home to a famous Koran library that contains many rare books and documents. You will also have a chance to visit the Underground Kasbah and pottery artisans. After that, we will drive to M’Hamid, the last town of the Draa River. The palm oasis and the road all dissolve into nothing but sand and rocks as we drive through the sand dunes. Later in the day, we will arrive at Erg Chigaga, just in time for the sunset. At night, we will sit around the fire, enjoy the starry sky, and listen to local Berbers play their drums.
Day 4 Erg Chigaga – camel trek
We will get up early to take images of the sun rising over the sand dunes, which gives the sand a beautiful mix of colors. Then, after breakfast, we’ll saddle our camels and trek over the area.
Day 5 Erg Chigaga – Taznachkt – Ait Ben Haddou
We will swop our camels for 4×4 vehicles and head to the old Paris-Dakar road to Forum Zguid, crossing Lake Iriki, a dried salt lake bed. We will stop for lunch in Taznakht, where you can watch local women making handmade Berber carpets. Then we will continue north to arrive at small village by the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou.
Early in the morning, we will visit the UNESCO protected Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. This Kasbah is one the most impressive and well-preserved fortress cities in Morocco. Then we will start heading back toward the Atlas Mountains via the Ounila Valley – an off road that offers unparalleled views of green valleys, river and remarkable colored slopes and hillsides. We will visit Telouet, a rustic town that was once a principal stop on the main caravan route to Mali. The crumbling Kasbah that was once the palatial residence of extremely powerful Glaoui family. Then we will cross the Atlas Mountains back to Marrakech.

A free morning to wonder the streets of Marrekech then after lunch a airport transfer depending on your time of departure.
