About the Tour
The first and last days are long ones, seven to eight hours each with stops, because Casablanca is two and a half hours north of Marrakech before the mountains even begin. In return you sleep at Aït Benhaddou on the first night and reach the dunes early on day two.
From Foum Zguid a 4×4 track crosses the dry Lake Iriki to the camp. After two nights you leave by the other side of the dunes, through M’hamid and the palm groves of the Draa, and spend the last night in a kasbah hotel near Ouarzazate.
Highlights
- Telouet and a kasbah night at Aït Benhaddou
- The 4x4 track across Lake Iriki
- Two nights in a luxury tent in Erg Chigaga
- The Draa Valley from M'hamid to Agdz
- Pickup and drop-off in Casablanca
