- Day 1: Agadir – Taroudant – Taliouine – Foum Zguid
The journey begins with the golden sun rising over Agadir’s Atlantic shores. Our route winds towards the ancient city of Taroudant, often referred to as the ‘Grandmother of Marrakech.’ Encased within sturdy ramparts, its lively souks and bustling medinas offer a glimpse into authentic Moroccan life. As the road meanders deeper into the High Atlas Mountains, we pass through Taliouine, Morocco’s saffron capital, where the air is perfumed with the aroma of the world’s most precious spice.
Continuing towards Foum Zguid, the landscape shifts from rugged mountains to vast desert plains. Here, we settle into a charming desert inn, where a traditional dinner awaits beneath a starlit sky. The silence of the desert will cradle you into a peaceful slumber, preparing you for the adventure ahead
- Day 2: Foum Zguid – Iriki Lake – Erg Chigaga Desert
With the morning sun casting golden hues over the dunes, our convoy ventures off-road through the surreal landscapes of Lake Iriki, a once-lush body of water now transformed into an endless salt flat. As we traverse the desolate beauty of this region, the anticipation builds—soon, the towering dunes of Erg Chigaga rise before us like an illusion from a dream.
Upon arrival at the heart of the desert, camels await to guide us deeper into the sandy embrace of the Sahara. As the sun sets, painting the sky in hues of crimson and gold, we arrive at our Berber desert camp. A traditional feast is served under an ocean of stars, and the rhythmic beat of drums fills the night air. As you sit by the crackling fire, the desert whispers its ancient tales, carrying you into the magic of the dunes.
- Day 3: Erg Chigaga – M’hamid – Zagora – Ait Ben Haddou
The morning calls with a spectacle of colors as the sun rises over the dunes. After a hearty breakfast, we depart towards M’hamid, the last village before the infinite Sahara. The drive leads us through the Draa Valley, a mesmerizing stretch of palm groves and mud-brick villages that line the life-giving Draa River.
By midday, we reach Zagora, a town steeped in the history of the old caravan routes that once connected Morocco to the depths of Africa. As we journey further, the legendary Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah emerges like a mirage. This UNESCO-listed fortress, with its maze-like alleys and sun-baked towers, has stood the test of time, gracing the silver screens of Hollywood epics. As dusk settles, we unwind in a traditional riad, savoring the flavors of Moroccan cuisine while absorbing the kasbah’s timeless aura.
- Day 4: Ait Ben Haddou – Taznakht – Agadir
The morning sun bathes Ait Ben Haddou in a golden glow, offering a perfect farewell to this architectural masterpiece. After a final stroll through its labyrinthine streets, we embark on the road back to Agadir. Along the way, we stop in Taznakht, famed for its handwoven Berber carpets, where artisans weave intricate stories into vibrant fabrics.
As the journey nears its end, the landscapes shift once more, from the rocky terrains of the Anti-Atlas to the fertile plains surrounding Agadir. By late afternoon, we return to the coastal city, where the Atlantic breeze welcomes us back from our odyssey through time and sand. With hearts full of memories and souls forever touched by the spirit of the desert, we bid farewell to this enchanting adventure.
