Twelve days for two. You start with two slow days in a Marrakech riad, cross the mountains to the Draa Valley, spend three nights at a luxury camp in Erg Chigaga and come back to Marrakech for the last three nights.
Driving days are kept short wherever the map allows. You stop for the night at Aït Benhaddou and again in a kasbah in Agdz, so you reach the dunes rested, with the whole evening ahead.
At the camp we ask for a tent set apart from the others, with dinner served on your terrace. On the way out you cross Lake Iriki late in the day, with the sun low over the dry lake bed, and sleep near Ouarzazate before the last drive home.
