This itinerary is perfect for those seeking a shorter but immersive desert experience, complete with stunning landscapes, cultural encounters, and nights under the stars.
Departure from Agadir: Your journey begins early in the morning from Agadir. You’ll head east towards Taroudant, often referred to as “Little Marrakesh” for its impressive red-walled medina and bustling souks. Take some time to explore the town and its artisanal markets.
Taliouine: Continue to Taliouine, the heart of Morocco’s saffron-growing region. Visit a local cooperative to learn about saffron cultivation and its importance to the local economy.
Foum Zguid: From Taliouine, drive through the Anti-Atlas Mountains, passing through remote villages and dramatic landscapes. Stop in Foum Zguid, a small desert town, before heading into the Sahara.
Chegaga Dunes: Arrive at the Chegaga Dunes, one of Morocco’s most stunning desert landscapes. These towering dunes stretch over 40 kilometers and offer a truly remote and peaceful experience. You’ll be welcomed to a luxury desert camp where you can enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner under the stars. Spend the night in a private tent, surrounded by the silence and beauty of the desert.
Sunrise in the Desert: Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes. The play of light and shadow on the golden sands is a sight you’ll never forget.
