About This Tour
Leaving Marrakech, the road climbs over the Tizi n'Tichka pass, more than 2,200 metres high, with superb views over the High Atlas. On the other side, the landscape becomes drier and more mineral as you approach the south.
Ouarzazate is known as the door of the desert and as a centre of film making, with large studios on the edge of town. The Taourirt kasbah and the surrounding valleys make it a pleasant stop between the mountains and the Sahara.
Over 2 days and 1 night, the itinerary balances time on the road with visits and moments to relax. Distances are planned so you arrive before dark whenever possible, and your driver is always ready to stop for a viewpoint, a coffee or a short walk.
At the end of the afternoon you meet your camel and its handler at the foot of the dunes. The caravan slowly makes its way through the sand while the sun goes down, a peaceful moment that is often the highlight of the trip.
The 4×4 part of the trip takes you to places that ordinary cars cannot reach, such as rocky tracks, dry lakes and small desert villages. Our drivers know the terrain well and drive safely while making it an adventure.
Meals are a big part of the experience: expect tagines, couscous, fresh salads and mint tea prepared with local ingredients.
