Hike with Cameleers in the Draa Valley - 8 Days

Hike with Cameleers in the Draa Valley
715

Often our heart swings between taking the time to discover a city like Marrakesh or leaving, forget everything by walking in the footsteps of the old caravaneers. That’s why we designed this program between the Red Marrakesh and the Drâa Valley. We will spend 3 days in this famous valley between palm groves and dunes. And we will touch the magic of the desert. A beautiful programme for a gentle immersion into Moroccan traditions.

- The discovery of Marrakesh - 3 days to visit the red city
- The bivouacs in the heart of the Sahara desert
- The Draa Valley, its villages and oases

Day 2: MARRAKESH / DRAA VALLEY / NSRATE
After breakfast, go with our guide and depart for the South. We will take the road to the Tichka pass which allows us to go to the southern slope of the High Atlas and Ouarzazate. After a brief lunch stop in Ouarzazate, we'll continue southward along the dry Draa wadi and surrounded by beautiful adobe villages. And a few kilometers after Zagora, we'll enter the palm grove where we will pitch our tents for the night.

Day 3: NSRATE / DUNES OF TIDRI
This first day will allow us to enter the desert, the one we typically imagine with its sand dunes. Before that, we'll cross villages and crops of the palm grove. The palm grove is a very specific ecosystem with its own rules. Our guide will unveil all for you.
In the afternoon, we'll cross our first dunes before reaching those of Tidri at the foot of which we'll set up camp.

Day 4: DUNES OF TIDRI / DUNES OF BOUNOU
After yesterday exploring the palm groves and the first dunes, today we will cross large desert plateaus before arriving in a palm grove where we will have lunch in the shade of date palms. We can see that the desert is far from monotonous and that every moment brings a lot of surprises. All afternoon we will walk through the small dunes dotted with old tamaris trees before arriving at the small erg Bounou where we'll spend this last night under the starry sky of the desert.

Day 5: BOUNOU DUNES / DRAA VALLEY / MARRAKESH
We say goodbye to the desert and we take the road that winds through the Draa Valley that we discovered from the inside.
We'll take the road again and cross the Tichka pass before arriving in Marrakesh and the riad to spend the next 3 nights.
Dinner and overnight at the Riad.
