International flight with priority passage of formalities at the airport. You are met by your private driver and set off in a 4x4 to take on the Tizi n'Tichka pass, which rises to over 2,200 meters. The road immerses you directly in the ocher beauty of the landscapes of the region. Installation for the night near the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, in an address with great charm, a pretty riad with only a few rooms. Crafts alongside modern art, and soft Berber carpets warm the stone floors. The thick walls keep the interior cool in summer. From the roof terrace, the eye takes in a panoramic view of the Ksar. A pretty swimming pool awaits dusty travelers in a profusion of laurels in bloom.

DAY 2 : Ait Ben Haddou - Zagora

Head southeast towards Zagora. As you get closer to the Draâ valley, the desert plateaus, oases and traditional villages follow one another. The city of Zagora nestles in the Draa palm grove, the largest in the world. A true oasis at the door of the desert. Far from being a simple forest, the palm grove has its own life. By taking the small paths drawn between the trees, you will discover the date culture which occupies a large part of the premises daily. Busy workers perched on a donkey or a moped, idle and smiling children, Zagora also reveals itself through its inhabitants.
Night in the heart of a small green setting, where a refined guest house is nestled. You cool off in the swimming pool, or indulge in a nap under the protective shade of palm trees.
To see, to do - The museum of arts and traditions of the Draâ valley, which testifies to the vital role that the river plays in these desert lands - the Ksar of Amezrou, a fortified village of the 18th century - the Jebel Zagora and its superb view of the valley ...

DAY 3 : Zagora - Chegaga Dunes

You leave Zagora leaving the famous sign "Tombouctou: 52 jours" behind you. Head for the Chegaga dunes, by road first, then by a sandy track. Night in a camp with a romantic atmosphere, between colonial reminiscences and unexpected comfort. Your tent is a small cocoon of softness: a small living room in front of the entrance, bedside lamps as a detail of delicacy, all enhanced by powdery shades. A decor that fits harmoniously into the desert where you dine under the stars, in the flickering light of the candles. Unforgettable.
Optional - On the Chegaga dune road, a picnic in the shelter of an oasis.

DAY 4 :Chegaga Dunes - Zagora

On the program - A camel ride on camels in the middle of the dunes. On the ridges of these giant sand strutted by nomads since the dawn of time, you advance to the rhythm of the swaying step of your mount. Before our eyes is spread a sea of sands with silky waves undulating. Faced with these ocher vastnesses, one feels infinitely small, isolated, and it is infinitely beautiful.
To see and do - Climb one of the highest dunes and revel in the 360 ° panorama - arm yourself with a surfboard to be the first at the bottom - take advantage of the knowledge of the camel driver guide about the animals and the desert ...

Later, drive to Zagora, where we find our pretty lodge with swimming pool for one night. Farewell desert, solar dunes and dromedaries. Or was it a mirage?

A picnic on the Chegaga dune route

The road is sometimes long in the desert areas. This is why we are organizing a picnic break for you in the cool of an oasis between Zagora and the Chegaga dunes. On the menu: refreshments, salads and grills. A friendly moment before hitting the road for the camp.
