Embark on an unforgettable 7-day adventure starting and ending in the historic city of Ouarzazate, known as the Gateway to the Desert. This journey takes you deep into the heart of the Moroccan Sahara, where you will explore breathtaking landscapes, from lush valleys to golden sand dunes. Traverse the majestic dunes of Erg Zahar (the Screaming Dunes) and the expansive Chegaga, the largest dunes in Morocco, rising up to 300 meters. Experience the timeless beauty of the desert as you travel by camel, the traditional mode of transport used by nomads for centuries. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic nomadic lifestyle, sleep under the stars in cozy desert bivouacs or in traditional Berber tents, enjoy freshly prepared Moroccan cuisine, with flavors that reflect the rich culinary heritage of the region, witness stunning sunrises and sunsets that paint the desert in brilliant shades of gold, orange, and pink and learn survival skills and desert wisdom from experienced local guides and camel handlers, who share stories and traditions passed down through generations.
Your adventure begins with a drive through the spectacular Draa Valley, famous for its palm groves, ancient kasbahs, and picturesque Berber villages. Along the way, you'll have time to explore historical landmarks, bustling souks, and iconic filming locations, as Ouarzazate is known for its film studios and cinematic landscapes. The journey concludes with a scenic and comfortable 4x4 ride back to Ouarzazate, allowing you to take in the diverse desert terrain one last time. This is more than a trek – it’s a cultural and sensory experience that offers tranquility, adventure, and a deep connection to the vastness of the Sahara.
