About the Tour
Desert trips from Agadir are usually short. Here you go all the way round the south: into the desert by Foum Zguid, out by M’hamid, east along the Jbel Saghro to the gorges, and back west by the Valley of Roses and Aït Benhaddou.
The name comes from what you pass: saffron at Taliouine, roses at Kelaat M’Gouna and the dunes of Erg Chegaga.
Highlights
- Taliouine and its saffron fields
- A night in Erg Chegaga
- Kasbah Tamnougalt in the Draa Valley
- The Todra and Dades gorges
- The Valley of Roses and Aït Benhaddou
