- Day 1: Agadir – Taroudant – Taliouine – Taznakht – Ouarzazate
Your adventure will begin in Agadir, where the morning sun will cast its golden glow over the Atlantic coast. As you set out towards Taroudant, known as “Little Marrakech,” you will marvel at its mighty ramparts and bustling souks. Continuing onward, the road will wind through Taliouine, the land of saffron, before reaching Taznakht, famous for its intricate Berber carpets. By evening, you will arrive in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara, where the legendary Kasbah of Taourirt stands as a sentinel of history. A night in a charming riad will set the tone for the incredible days ahead.
- Day 2: Ouarzazate – Skoura – Valley of Roses – Dades Gorges
After breakfast, the journey will take you through Skoura’s lush palm groves, where hidden kasbahs whisper tales of the past. The fragrance of blooming roses will fill the air as you enter the Valley of Roses, known for its annual festival celebrating the delicate petals. The road will then twist through the mesmerizing Dades Gorges, with towering rock formations sculpted by time. As dusk falls, you will settle into a cozy guesthouse overlooking the dramatic canyon, listening to the echoes of the wind between the cliffs.
- Day 3: Dades Gorges – Todra Gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga (Sahara Desert)
Today, you will venture deeper into the rugged beauty of Morocco. The journey will take you through the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges, where sheer limestone walls reach skyward. Passing through Erfoud, the gateway to the Sahara, you will witness fossil-laden landscapes before reaching Merzouga. Here, golden dunes will rise before you, stretching endlessly into the horizon. As the sun sets, you will embark on a camel trek into the heart of the desert, where a nomadic camp under a canopy of stars will be your home for the night. The silence of the dunes will be broken only by the soft strumming of Berber music by the fire.
- Day 4: Merzouga – Rissani – Alnif – Nkob – Agdz
As the first light of dawn paints the dunes in hues of orange and gold, you will bid farewell to the Sahara. A stop in Rissani will offer a glimpse into Morocco’s rich trading history, where vibrant souks bustle with life. The road will lead through Alnif and Nkob, small villages nestled in arid valleys, before reaching Agdz. This peaceful town at the foot of the Jbel Kissane mountain will be your resting place for the night, offering a tranquil escape beneath a canopy of date palms.
- Day 5: Agdz – Draa Valley – Zagora – Tamegroute – M’hamid
The journey will continue through the legendary Draa Valley, where verdant palm groves contrast with the ochre earth. Arriving in Zagora, you will encounter the famous sign that reads “Timbuktu: 52 Days by Camel.” From here, you will travel to Tamegroute, home to an ancient Quranic library and distinctive green pottery. As you reach M’hamid, the last village before the vast desert, the sense of adventure will intensify. Another night in the dunes, under a sky illuminated by a million stars, will complete the day’s odyssey.
- Day 6: M’hamid – Foum Zguid – Taznakht – Agadir
The final stretch of your journey will take you through the untamed landscapes of Foum Zguid, where the desert meets the mountains.
