Day 1: Marrakech – Atlas Mountains – Taznakht – Foum Zguid – Erg Chigaga

Your adventure begins bright and early, with a 7:30 AM pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Travel through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the iconic Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m), the highest mountain pass in Morocco.

Heading west, arrive at Taznakht, a charming village renowned for its vibrant handwoven carpets crafted by Berber women. Take time to explore the local craft and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local eatery.

Continue south through rocky desert terrain, reaching the town of Foum Zguid, the gateway to the Sahara. From here, embark on an off-road journey deep into the desert, navigating a stunning expanse of untouched landscapes.

By late afternoon, arrive at the desert camp nestled at the base of the towering Erg Chigaga dunes. Meet your camels for an unforgettable trek into the golden sands, soaking in the vastness and tranquility of the Sahara.

As the sun sets, return to camp where a traditional dinner awaits in the restaurant tent. After dinner, gather around the campfire with the hospitable nomads, enjoying music, storytelling, and the breathtaking starlit sky.

Choose to sleep in a cozy nomad tent, equipped with comfortable beds, or under the open desert sky for a truly magical experience.
