Day 1 - The Adventure Begins in Marrakech
Welcome to Marrakech! Itโs one of the liveliest cities in Northern Africa - and itโs the start of your Saharan adventure.
Depending on arrival time, youโll have an opportunity to get out into Marrakech to see the sights. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage site called Jemaa el-Fna square, an open-air marketplace where youโll find the best wares in the city and explore further! At the hotel, youโll learn what the itinerary is for the trip.
Day 2 - Journey Across The High Atlas
After an early start, youโll be transferred in your 4x4 into the High Atlas, Northern Moroccoโs great range of mountains. Youโll head eastwards, through the Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass - at 2.260 metres above sea level, itโs Northern Africaโs highest mountain pass.
You'll then explore the remote Fint Oasis, where you'll enjoy a family dinner, and end your day among palm trees.
Day 3 - From Fint Oasis to the desert
Today, youโll meet your camel (that will carry your luggage) and will trek a little of the way down Moroccoโs longest river (dry in its desert part), the Draa (1,100 km in km), and wander along its fertile banks and through its palm groves.
Youโll pass first by the town of Zagora and later in the day youโll have your first sight of dunes at El Mazouaria.
Day 4 - Into The Deep Desert
Today the real adventure begins. Youโll trek across a vast arid plateau (including flat, rocky hamada, which comprises most of the Sahara) past tamarisk trees and spurges (a flowering plant) until the sand rises under your feet and you arrive at the high dune of Erg Bouguerne.
Day 5 - Finding The Great Erg Of Chegaga
Today youโll trek along desert wadis (dried seasonal riverbeds) that run along the desert, paying testament to the power of the infrequent, unpredictable precipitation in this part of the world. Your destination for the day is Erg Chegaga, one of the great dune systems of in Morocco, approximately 40 km wide and 15 km long.
Day 6 - Ascending Erg Chegaga
Itโs time to climb and explore Morocco's highest dune, the mighty Erg Chegaga, which contains dunes that climb more than a hundred metres above the surrounding landscape. Youโll have most of the day for the climb if youโve ever wanted that classic Saharan view of dunes stretching unbroken to the horizon.
Day 7 - A Free Afternoon In Marrakech
This morning, beginning early, youโll leave the desert behind you and transfer in your 4x4 back to Marrakech. Once back, youโll have a free afternoon to explore any sights you may have missed on Day 1.
Day 8 - Goodbye For Now, Sahara!ย
Sadly itโs time to depart!. Complimentary transfers to Marrakech Airport.
See you soon!
