This four-day itinerary is a deep desert loop, taking a distinct route that explores the south and east of Ouarzazate before reaching Merzouga. It ventures through the rugged, less-traveled desert landscapes around Zagora and Tafraout Sidi Ali, offering maximum exposure to the isolated cultures and dramatic geography of the pre-Sahara region.

Driving along the vast ribbon of palm groves, often cited as the largest palmery in the world, stretching south from Ouarzazate.
Opportunity to meet and share tea with local Berber nomadic families, gaining insight into their traditional, isolated way of life.
We depart Ouarzazate, heading south. We pass over the Anti-Atlas Mountains and descend into the vast Drâa Valley, stopping for views of the huge palm groves. We arrive in Zagora and check into our hotel.
We delve deeper into the pre-desert, driving off-road (with a 4×4) through rugged desert plains and isolated Berber villages. We stop for lunch with nomadic families before reaching the remote desert town of Tafraout Sidi Ali for the night.
We continue the desert journey northeast toward the spectacular Erg Chebbi dunes. We arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon, join our camel caravan for the sunset trek, and spend the night in a luxury desert camp.
We wake before dawn for the desert sunrise. After breakfast, we ride the camels out and begin the long, scenic drive back north toward Ouarzazate, arriving in the evening.
