Day 1: Ouarzazate – Draa Valley – Zagora – M’hamid – Erg Lihoudi dunes

We’ll depart in the morning from Ouarzazate and head towards M’hamid and the dunes of Erg Lihoudi. On the way, we’ll pass by Agdez, where the Dra’a valley starts, and stop for a short tea break. Later, we’ll drive off-road along the Dra’a valley and the ancient road of caravans until we reach Zagora for lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll continue towards M’hamid, which marks the end of the paved road and the beginning of the Sahara desert. Here, we’ll take an hour-long camel ride to reach the dunes of Erg Lihoudi, where we’ll enjoy an unforgettable sunset and spend the night in a desert camp close to the dunes.

Day 2: Erg Lihoudi dunes – Tamegroute – Anti-Atlas – Ouarzazate

If you wake up early enough, you can watch the spectacle of the sunrise, when the color of the dunes and the play of shadows create an awesome sight. After breakfast, we’ll return from Erg Lihoudi dunes to M’hamid on camelback, and then drive north to Tamegroute for a visit to the Koranic library. From here, we’ll head north again to the kasbah of Tamnougalte for lunch. We’ll arrive back in Ouarzazate at the end of the day, on the other side of the Anti-Atlas and the mountain pass of Tizi-n-Tinfifite (1660m).
