Saharan Escape
5 days desert camp/hotel - Desert Adventure In The Deep South
Head to the warmth of North Africa on our off-beat adventure break.
We travel by fully equipped 4WD vehicles deep into Saharan dunes to sleep
under a starlit night sky, nomad-style. We also traverse the fertile palm
and kasbah-lined Southern Oasis Valley of Draa en route to our tranquil
desert camps. A great opportunity to get away from it all taking in wonderful
scenery and real desert wilderness.
Southern Oasis Valley of Draa
After our first night in Ouarzazate we descend
straight into the fertile Draa Valley, where palms and ksours (fortified villages)
line the road, to arrive at the 'Gateway to the Sahara', Zagora. From here a short
drive takes us to our camp near the golden sand dunes of Tinfou. There's time for
a camel safari (optional) before enjoying a wonderful Saharan sunset over the
entrancing dunes and a hearty Berber dinner.
Wilderness of the Sahara
Next we cross the baked black rock of the Jebel Bani
and follow desert sand tracks further south to explore the palm groves and ksour of
Mhamid. Then for a thrilling drive through the harsh and unforgiving land of the
Sahara as our 4WD take us in search of the M'Hazil sand desert at Chegaga, the
highest dunes in this region of Morocco, for our second night under the stars.
We'll have time for a short nature walk to identify signs of desert-dwelling
animal, bird and insect life before taking a different scenic route back to
Ouarzazate for our final night.
