Sahara 4x4 - Tour

Day 1 Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Agdez

In the morning, we pick you up from your riad and head towards the High Atlas Mountains. We cross the Tizin Tichka Pass with approx. 2.260 m. We make photo stops and breaks to explore the landscape of the Atlas region.

We visit the famous and well-preserved Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Kasbah from the 17th century is the backdrop of numerous Hollywood films.

The journey continues to Ouarzazate, where there are some active film studios. We stop for our lunch in Ouarzazate and then continue to Agdez. Our journey resumes and takes us on to the Draa Valley, travelling through magnificent Anti Atlas mountains. We spent our first night in a lovely typical riad in Agdez. -/-/D

Day 2 Agdez - Erg Chegaga via Mhamid (sandboarding and camel riding)

After breakfast, we drive along the green Draa Valley crossing 100 Km of palm trees to Zagora as one of the biggest palm tree areas. We pass through Tamegroute, famous for its craft pottery production, and reach M’Hamid. Lunch in this desert door. From M’Hamid, and after saying goodbye to civilization, we continue our journey deep into the desert for a memorable journey through the Sahara by offroad driving . After covering 60 km of off road, we reach the dunes of Erg Chegaga – the amazing group of golden desert dunes stretching for 40 km and reaching a height of 300 meters. A cup of mint tea and some nuts are offered before you ride camels for an unforgettable tour to enjoy the sunset. A traditional nomad dinner with music around fire and overnight accommodation in a nomad tent. B/-/D

Day 3 Erg Chegaga - Tazenakht - Marrakech

Departure in the morning after breakfast, we start our day by car along the old track of the Paris-Dakar rally, through the dried up salty lake of Iriki. We stop in a very old fossil place leaving the desert and sand dunes behind. Lunch in Tazenakht, a famous Berber carpet town. Return to Marrakesh via the high Atlas mountains towards evening. B/-/-
