Pick-up from Marrakech-Menara airport and transfer to the riad in the medina of Marrakech. The afternoon is at your leisure. We would be happy to show you a bit of the city to give you a first impression of Morocco.
The journey goes over the mountains of the High Atlas to the Berber villages up to Ait Ben Haddou with its unique Kasbah. Then we continue to Quartzazate to Zagora in the Draa Valley. Here you will spend your first night in a hotel or riad.
You have the opportunity to visit the historic town of 'Tamegrout', then we continue to the last town before the desert where our camels are already waiting for us. After a two-hour camel ride, we linger amidst the desert dunes for lunch. After 2 more hours of trekking, we continue to the nomad camp, where dinner is served in an authentic atmosphere in a tent or in the dunes. Listen to traditional music around the crackling campfire. You will spend the night in a nomad tent.
After breakfast you start the desert trekking which takes 3.5 hours and leads you to a nomad well. After lunch, a 4x4 will take you to the sacred oasis. Just in time for sunset you will reach the wide sea of dunes of Erg Chegaga. This is the largest dune group in the region, reaching a height of 300 meters and stretching over 40 km. You will stay overnight in a fortified bivouac in nomad tents or under the stars if you wish. After dinner enjoy drum music.
On the last day of your trip you climb the dunes in the morning to admire the sunrise. After an authentic breakfast in the desert, you will pass a piece of the old Paris-Dakar Rally track and reach Lake Iriki, which is the habitat of many birds. The lake is normally dry throughout the year until flooded by heavy rains from the north. Have lunch in the city of Taznakht and reach Marrakech around 18:00.
