Detailed itinerary
1
After our departure from Ouarzazate around 8 am we will take the direction of the Draa Valley, passing through the Anti Atlas, a chain of mountains with a certain charm. We will go through the Tizi N Tinfifite pass (1660m) with its sumptuous viewpoints to arrive in Agdz. Possibility to stop at any time for a photo or to stretch your legs.
2
Once past the Anti Atlas, we arrive on the old caravan route. A series of oases and fortified villages that sit proudly in the Draa Valley. Landscapes of breathtaking beauty. We will stop at your convenience for a snack in this timeless place.
3
At the end of the morning, we will have arrived at the dunes of Tinfou. Let's go for 1 hour of dromedary in the middle of the sand dunes. Take advantage of the immensity of the landscapes during this privileged moment.
4
After this intense morning, we will go to Riad Zagora Palms for a well-deserved meal by the pool. Swimming possible for free in this accommodation in the middle of the palm grove of Zagora, which you can visit on foot during a walk after the meal.
5
After this lunch break and the walk in the palm grove, we can take the road to Ouarzazate along the Draa Valley. the Draa Valley is formed by the waters of the Ouarzazate and Dadès wadis. Born between 2,000 and 3,000 m altitude on the Saharan side of the High Atlas, the wadi digs its bed through the Anti-Atlas and progresses towards the South-East until M'HAMID where it disappears. Its waters are lost in the valley and serve as irrigation for palm groves and the small irrigated areas they shelter, while its bed only reaches the Atlantic around Tan-Tan during floods.
