Overview

Embark on a day trip from Ouarzazate to the Tinfou Dunes beyond Zagora. Our journey will take us over the Anti-Atlas Mountains, across the Tizi’n-Tinififft Pass, and through Berber villages. As we drive off-road through the massive palm tree fields of the Draa Valley, we will pass by fortified Kasbahs and lush oases. We will make a stop at Kasbah Tamnougalte and interact with the locals to learn about life in southern Morocco.

One of the highlights of the trip will be experiencing an hour-long camel trek in the Tinfou Dunes. Afterward, we will stop by a nomad tent near the biggest Tinfou dunes to have a glass of tea and get a glimpse of the nomadic life in the Sahara Desert.

On our way back, we will visit the ancient Quranic Library and the local pottery co-operatives in Tamegroute village, where we can witness the process of making traditional green pottery.

After a day filled with adventures, we will return to Ouarzazate in the late afternoon. Your driver will escort you back to your Riad as your day trip comes to an end.
