South & Dunes

Departure by 4×4 for the Dadès gorges via the Skora palm grove and Kelaa M’gouna, the capital of roses. The road that leads to the gorges is spectacular and offers typical and colorful landscapes: gardens, kasbahs, surprising rock formations. Dinner and night in a typical inn.

From Boumalne, you cross the Jebel Saghro, a wild volcanic massif and place of nomadization of the Ait Atta shepherd tribe. Arrival at N’Kob, the town with 45 kasbahs, before joining the Dra valley which you follow to Zagora. Night at the hotel.

After breakfast, departure for M’hamid, the last village before the desert. The road narrows, the sandy landscapes present themselves and it is the track through Erg Lehoudi and the Oum Laâleg Oasis. Stop for a picnic at the foot of the Chigaga dunes. In the afternoon, camel ride to reach the camp and admire the sunset over the dunes. Dinner, evening with nomadic songs and night in a tent at the bivouac.

After sunrise, departure for M’hamid then Tamgroute to visit the Koranic library, the underground alleys and the traditional pottery workshops. From Zagora, go up along the immense palm grove of the Draa valley to discover villages and gardens. Stop for lunch at the Kasbah of Tamnougalte, a former caravan stopover and magnificent adobe village. Return to Ouarzazate.
