Day 1: Marrakech - Ait Ben Haddou - Mhamid

Start your journey early in the morning from your riad or hotel in Marrakech, traveling through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tichka Pass (2260 m), the highest road pass in Morocco. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains and valleys, winding roads, stunning landscapes with varied colors, and Berber villages along the route. Visit several kasbahs, including Tamnougalte and Ait Benhaddou, a 16th-century UNESCO site and one of the best-preserved and most spectacular kasbahs in Morocco, often used as a location for Hollywood films. Continue through the palm-lined Draa River Valley, arriving in Zagora, the capital of dates. Proceed to the gateway of the Sahara Desert, Mhamid with Khalil. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in a nomadic standard camp.

Day 2: Trek from Mhamid to Sidi Naji

After breakfast at the camp, set off on foot from Mhamid, accompanied by a guide and a camel caravan. Hike through the Sahara Desert towards the Palm Grove. Tea and lunch will be served in the shade of Tamaris trees. After a rest, continue to the sanctuary of Sidi Naji, a place rich in history and local customs, where oral tradition says a marabout lived 18 generations ago. Set up camp at the foot of the sand dunes for the night.

Day 3: Trek from Sidi Naji to Hananich to Mhamid

As the sun rises, break down the tents and head towards a place called “Hananesh” across rocky plateaus. Lunch will be near a Tamaris tree. In the late afternoon, return to Mhamid for your final night.

Day 4: Mhamid to Marrakech

After a Moroccan breakfast, a car will take you back to your riad in Marrakech, leaving you with beautiful memories.
