FROM MARRAKECH: 2 Days Desert Tour: Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou – Erg Lihoudi Dunes – Desert camp

We head to the Atlas mountains and cross the stunning Tiz n Tichka which is the highest mountain pass in Morocco. We pass Berber villages on the way and the scenery is amazing with mountain peaks, valleys and twisting roads.

You visit the magnificient Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, where you have lunch. Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage site and has been location for many famous films, such as «Lawrence of Arabia», «Jesus of Nazareth», «Babel» and «Prince of Persia» to name a few.

We continue via the city Ouarzazate, also referred to as the «Gate to Sahara». Further we drive through the lush Draa valley where Berber grow dates and other agricultural products. We take an off-road detour under the palms and pass the many ksars (villages) built from earth clay.

On the way we pass the town Zagora and continue further to visit the village Tamegroute which is famous for its green pottery, the Koran library and a religious school.

In the afternoon we reach M’hamid village, cross a desert piste and arrive at the dunes of Erg Lihoudi and our desert camp for the night.

A nice evening together with the local «blue men»  awaits and you enjoy dinner, an optional camel ride and sandboarding. Sleep in nomad tents, or if you prefer, you can sleep outside under the stars.
