Day 1: Ouarzazate – Erg Lihoudi
We depart Ouarzazate early in the morning, traveling south across the Anti Atlas, down into the picturesque Draa Valley with its 1001 Kasbahs, and a grove of palm trees stretching over 200 km to the south. From the town of Agdz we will journey along the old caravan route, taking the backroads through the palm tree grove all the way to Zagora. Lunch in Zagora and a short drive from there we will reach the end of the road in M’Hamid. Here we switch from 4×4 jeep to camels for the next hour, until we arrive at our camp nestled between the dunes of Erg Lihoudi. Set out for an unforgettable sunset walk through the dunes, dinner at camp and overnight in traditional Nomad tents.
