Tour Description
5-day excursion in the Chegaga desert departing from Agadir
Day 1: Agadir to Foum Zguid:
Our journey begins with a departure from Agadir towards Tata, approximately 80 km away. We'll kick off by exploring Taroudant, wandering through its souk, medina, and ramparts. Then, we'll continue to Tiout, a mere 30 km from Taroudant, where we'll enjoy lunch at the kasbah. Following that, we'll venture south to Igherm and finally reach Foum Zguid for check-in and dinner at the hotel.
Day 2: Foum Zguid to M'Hamid:
We'll set off early for a captivating journey through the desert, where the landscape's grandeur will leave even seasoned travelers in awe. Our route will be punctuated by oases offering respite from the desert heat. Arriving in M'hamid, the gateway to the desert, you'll experience nature in its purest form as the road gives way to wilderness. Tonight, immerse yourself in the culture of the blue men of the desert, dancing to the rhythm of drums, and sleeping under a tent or beneath the starry sky.
Day 3: M'Hamid to Ouarzazate:
Today's stage will treat you to the stunning landscapes of the Draa Valley. We'll visit Zagora and its surroundings, tracing the Draa Valley and its lush palm groves to Agdz. Our journey will take us through the heart of the palm grove along a track. In Agdz, we'll leave behind the verdant valley for rugged, arid mountain vistas adorned with canyons. Evening and overnight stay in a guesthouse in Ouarzazate or nearby.
Day 4: Ouarzazate to Marrakech:
An early start ensures we reach Marrakech in the morning. The afternoon will be dedicated to exploring the city's treasures: the Bahia Palace, the Badiaa Palace, the Saadian Tombs, and, of course, the bustling Jemaa el Fna square and the labyrinthine souks of the medina. Evening and overnight stay in a charming riad in the heart of the medina.
Day 5: Marrakech to Agadir:
