2 Day Desert Trip – M’Hamid

Overview

Spend the night in the Moroccan Sahara!

This is a 2-day, unforgettable desert adventure which includes the once-in-a-lifetime experience of spending the night in the Sahara. The air is crisp, clean and clear, and the stars are so close that you can almost touch them. The silence is nearly deafening.

On the way to the desert, you will pass through the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass as well as several Berber villages, riverside oases and Kasbahs. You will ride on camels, watch a breathtaking sunset and sunrise, and spend a night in a Berber tent.

Day to day itinerary

You’ll be picked up from your riad / hotel in Marrakech by your personal driver in a 4×4 car. You will cross the High Atlas through the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass, which has stunning scenery and panoramic views. When you arrive in Ouarzazate, you will visit the Kasbah of Taourirte and then you will continue going to the Draa Valley and the city of Zagora through the Tiniffift Pass. Before sunset, you will arrive in the desert of M’hamid, where you will go on a camel ride to see the great sunset over the dunes. Overnight, you’ll be camping in a Berber tent.

Dinner included.

After watching the sunrise and having breakfast, you’ll visit the village of Tamgroute, known for its Koranic school, old library and potters quarter. Then, you’ll drive through the Draa Valley, which has beautiful date palms and fields of henna. Later, you will arrive at Ait Benhaddou and visit the famous Ksar (fortified village).
