Itinerary

We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech bright and early at 7:00 AM to begin an unforgettable road trip. Your route takes you through the spectacular High Atlas Mountains, crossing the famous Tichka Pass, where dramatic views await at every turn. Along the way, there’s an optional stop at a local argan oil cooperative, offering insight into traditional Moroccan craftsmanship.

Lunch will be served at the historic Agdz Kasbah, set amidst a serene palm oasis, providing a perfect spot to relax and recharge. Afterward, enjoy a scenic drive through the lush Draa Valley, lined with majestic date palms.

Next, we visit the artisan village of Tamegroute, renowned for its exquisite ceramics that date back centuries. Explore the unique, partially underground Tamegroute Kasbah, still inhabited by local families, and, if interested, visit the ancient Koranic library, home to rare manuscripts.

By late afternoon or early evening, arrive at the tranquil Erg Lihoudi Desert Camp, with plenty of stops along the way for photos and refreshments. Your desert camp stay includes a traditional dinner under the stars and a hearty breakfast the following morning.

After a hearty breakfast at the desert camp, set off on a serene one-hour camel ride, winding through breathtaking desert landscapes. Pause for a relaxing break in a peaceful palmerie garden, soaking in the tranquility before heading to the famous UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. Explore the ancient fortress’s timeless charm and rich history.

Lunch will be served either in the shadow of Ait Ben Haddou or at the beautifully adorned Kasbah Telouet, a historic gem. Following your meal, enjoy a guided tour of Kasbah Telouet’s stunning, weathered rooms, uncovering stories of its past grandeur.

The journey back to Marrakech follows the scenic route through the High Atlas Mountains and over the Tichka Pass, with stops for photos and refreshments along the way. You’ll be comfortably back at your accommodation by early evening, concluding your unforgettable Sahara adventure.
