On Day 1, your journey begins from Marrakech, driving through the High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka pass. Along the way, you’ll visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, a famous ksar featured in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Continue through the Draa Valley, lined with palm groves and traditional Berber villages, before reaching the desert town of Zagora.

Day 2 takes you deeper into the Sahara as you leave Zagora and head toward the majestic Erg Chigaga dunes. These remote dunes are some of the highest and most untouched in Morocco. Enjoy a thrilling 4×4 ride, a camel trek into the desert, and witness a spectacular sunset. Your night is spent in a nomadic-style camp surrounded by endless dunes and a sky full of stars.
