Itinerary

Day 1Marrakesh & Ait Ben Haddou

Transfer from your accommodation or airport in Marrakesh. The journey to Erg Chigaga will begin through the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi n’Tichka pass (altitude 2260 meters).

For travelers who have some time and would like to delve deeper into Moroccan history, there is an opportunity to visit Kasbeh Telouet, a crumbling yet beautiful village steeped in lavishness, traitorship and the struggle for Moroccan independence. After a day of travel, relax at one of the delightful guesthouses near Ait Ben Haddou (Kasbah Ellouze or Riad Caravane).

Day 2Ait Ben Haddou & Draa Valley to Erg Chigaga

After enjoying breakfast at the guesthouse, the journey to the heart of the Sahara desert will begin. If there was insufficient time to visit AIt Ben Haddou on Day 1, today you will be given an opportunity to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site (made famous by the movie “Gladiator” and TV show “Game of Thrones”). From there the scenic drive will pass through the Draa Valley (road of a thousand kasbahs) which is populated by the lush greenery of 3,000 date palms. This road will lead to Zagora and onward to M’hamid – which is the last outpost of civilization before going off-road (2 hours) to Erg Chigaga.

Arrive at Erg Chigaga Luxury Camp to relish the sunset amid the magnificent sand dunes of Erg Chigaga. Spend the night at the luxuriously appointed tents after enjoying a delicious traditional Moroccan meal.

Day 3Iriqui Lake & Marrakesh

The journey back to Marrakesh will begin through Foum Zguid (3 hour off-road drive past the vast dried salt flats at Lake Iriqui), Taznakht (famous for hand-woven by Berbers of the tribal villages) and the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi n’Tichka pass (altitude 2260 meters).
