Tour Plan
Upon your arrival at Marrakech Airport, you'll be picked up by your driver and taken to Ouarzazate. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Your route runs along Jebel Tiffernine before entering the Saghro Massif, which you cross through the Tizi n'Tinififft pass. You then enter the magnificent Draa Valley with its ksour and kasbahs, following it down to the village of M'hamid, where the camel drivers will be waiting for you. After lunch, your hike begins — heading past the palm grove to the Rass N'khel dunes.
Your caravan sets off toward the Ait Ounir dunes, through a landscape of sand and regs (stony desert plains) dotted with tamarisk trees. In the distance, you'll already spot the first dunes of Erg Zaher as well as the Draa Hamada.
You'll cross the Draa River and head north, with Jebel Bani as your focal point. You'll climb toward Erg Smar and the Tel Attin Well, where you'll set up camp for the night.
The dunes gradually thin out, giving way to the vast plateau forming the foothills of Jebel Bani. After a few breaks in the shade of tamarisk trees, you'll reach Oued Mezouaria by the end of the afternoon.
You'll cross Erg Lehoudi to reach the palm grove of Oulad Driss. Along the way, you'll see numerous irrigation canals carrying water to the crops. Rest and shower at our bivouac.
You'll meet your vehicles to leave Oulad Driss and travel back up the Draa Valley to Ouarzazate, then cross the mountains back to Marrakech.
Transfer to the airport with assistance until boarding. Alternatively, you can extend your stay in Marrakech.
