Day 1: Marrakech - Atlas mountains - Tizi n Tichka - Taznakht - Foum Zguid - Erg Chigaga
We head to the High Atlas mountains, crossing the spectacular Tiz n Tichka, the highest mountain pass in Morocco. The panoramic scenery is amazing with mountain peaks, valleys and a twisting road. We pass Berber villages on the way.
Then we go west to Taznakht village which is famous for colorful handwoven carpets woven by local berber women.
You have your lunch in Taznakht. We continue through a rocky terrain until we reach the town Foum Zguid, which is located at the edge of the Sahara desert. From here we continue off-road into the desert and after about 3 hours we reach our desert camp which is located at the feet of the high dunes in Erg Chigaga.
Here the camels are waiting to take you for a trek into the dunes. Back in the camp, the nomads have prepared a delicious 3 course dinner for you which can be enjoyed in the restaurant tent.
Sleep in a traditional nomad tent made of camel wool and in comfortable beds. Or you can choose to sleep outside, under the stars.
