Erg Lihoudi Desert for Holy Week – 4-day route

Pick-up at 8:00 am at the meeting point (previously agreed). Departure from Marrakech towards southern Morocco, crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m), one of the most spectacular mountain passes in the country.

Arrival in Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Africa, before continuing along the Draa Valley, one of the most beautiful and emblematic regions of southern Morocco.

Along the way, we will pass through towns such as Zagora, considered the last major town before the desert, and Tamegroute, famous for its traditional green pottery cooperative.

In the afternoon, we will arrive in Tagounite, where we will spend the night in a traditional guesthouse or campsite, in a peaceful setting at the gateway to the desert.

After breakfast, in the morning we will take a walk through the kasbahs surrounding the village of Tagounite, discovering the rural atmosphere of the Draa Valley.

We will then continue along the N9 road to M’Hamid El Ghizlane, where the paved road ends and we enter the track leading into the desert.

Arrival at the Erg Lihoudi dunes, where we will enjoy a camel ride and watch the sunset over the desert, one of the most memorable moments of the journey.

In the evening, dinner at the desert camp with traditional music and overnight in a nomad-style tent.

Wake up to the sunrise over the desert, a unique and unforgettable experience. After breakfast, we will begin our journey back north, leaving the dunes behind and once again crossing the Draa Valley.

The route will take us to Aït Ben Haddou, an impressive kasbah listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the most iconic examples of traditional Moroccan architecture.

Arrival in the afternoon and overnight stay in a riad with panoramic views of the kasbah, enjoying a truly special setting.

After breakfast, we will begin the return journey to Marrakech, once again crossing the landscapes of the High Atlas Mountains.

Arrival in Marrakech around midday and transfer to your accommodation, marking the end of the tour to desert.
