Agadir to Agdz

Taroudant - Make a stop in Taroudant before continuing the drive through the Anti Atlas to Agdz. The journey takes you through the lush Souss Valley, passing by banana and citrus plantations. Delight in a local brunch featuring freshly squeezed orange juice, mint tea, and Moroccan pastries. Marvel at the 11th-century ramparts and the five grand gates of Taroudant. Discover the bustling Place Assarag in the city’s heart. Enjoy a guided tour of the souks showcasing traditional crafts such as silver jewelry, leather, engraved limestone, saffron, spices, and Argan oil. There will be free time to explore the area independently, with an opportunity to savor a refreshing mint tea before departing Taroudant. This tour offers a wonderful introduction to Morocco’s rich heritage.

Taliouine - Travel to Taliouine through the Sous valley farms and the Anti/High Atlas Mountains, pausing to admire the Argain trees and goats. Continue through local Berber villages and stop for lunch at a local restaurant in Taliouine, renowned for its saffron production and as a major exporter of this spice worldwide.

Tazenakht - Pause in Tazenakht for a coffee before proceeding to the Draa Valley in Agdz, where you will spend the night. Taznakht is a town in Ouarzazate Province, Drâa-Tafilalet region, southern Morocco, on the route from Ouarzazate to Agadir.

Agdz - Agdz, the gateway to the Drâa Valley, is dominated by the Kissane Jbel, recognizable by its tajine dish shape. Agdz opens to the Drâa valley, 69 km south of Ouarzazate. Situated on the old caravan route connecting Marrakesh and Timbuktu, Agdz, meaning “resting place,” is aptly named. It is now centered around the main square with its small souk (market).

Agdz to Erg Chebbi Desert

Draa Valley - After breakfast, begin the day with a walk inside the oasis to explore local life and visit Tamnougalt Kasbah.

Nkob - Drive through the Draa Valley to Tansikht, then continue to Nkob for a coffee. N’Kob is a rural municipality in the Zagora province, in the Atlas Mountains. It is located at approximately 30°52′10.594″N 5°52′1.652″W, near the Jbel Saghro and 24 kilometers from Tamsahelte.

Alnif - Stop for lunch in Alnif before continuing to Rissani and the Erg Chebbi desert.

Erg Chebbi - After a two-hour drive, reach the stunning Merzouga dunes, known as the “Desert of powdery sand dunes.” Here, switch from motorized transportation to animal traction to venture into the heart of the desert. Upon reaching the camp, settle into tents made of camel hair, similar to those used by nomadic families. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in a traditional Bivouac Camp under the beautiful stars.

Erg Chebbi Desert to Dades Valley

Erfoud - Wake up to a breathtaking sunrise in the desert and enjoy breakfast. Bivouac trekkers will return by camel, then travel via Erfoud to Tinerhir for lunch.

Gargantas del Todra - Visit the dramatic Todra Gorges. Being caught between a rock and a hard place is a sublime experience in the Todra Gorge, where a 300m-deep fault splits the orange limestone into a deep ravine, at some points just wide enough for a crystal-clear river and single-file trekkers to pass through. The road from Tinerhir passes green palmeraies (palm groves) and Berber villages until, 15km along, high walls of pink and grey rock close in around the road. The approach is thrilling, as though the doors of heaven were about to close before you.

Dades Gorges - Continue through Boulmane Dades to the spectacular “Valley of Dades,” where you will spend the evening at Dades Valley. Stretching from the High Atlas Mountains in the north to the rugged Jbel Sarho in the south, the Dades Valley is dotted with oases, palm groves, and elaborate kasbahs. The valley is lush and green, thanks to the Dades River, which originates from the High Atlas Mountains before flowing into Morocco’s largest river, the Draa. The waters of the Dades sustain a variety of almond, fig, walnut, and birch trees on the valley floor, offering a stunning contrast to the earthen-colored rocky formations rising from the valley floor. Often referred to as the Land of a Thousand Kasbahs, the Dades Valley is home to many kasbahs built here for the added protection the valley provides.

Dades Valley to Marrakesh or Agadir

Vallee Des Roses - The Valley of the Roses has been carved by the Assif M’Goun river as it winds its way down to the town of Kalaat M’Gouna. An exhilarating, winding 30 km paved road runs alongside the river, offering excellent views of the mesmerizing red rock and green valley combination. However, it’s the valley’s namesake that brings life to the area – both literally and economically. Each April and May, the valley is filled with local women picking roses to be shipped to factories in nearby Kalaat. Here, they are transformed into everything from shampoo to hand creams, cure-alls, and nasal decongestants. It’s well worth taking the time to stop and smell the roses.

Skoura - Skoura is one of Morocco’s beautiful oases, offering weary travelers a chance to rest their feet and enjoy the abundance of nature. At first glance from the road, it appears as a thin, long oasis. However, once off the road, it becomes clear that Skoura is very large, and what seemed like a line of trees is actually a flourishing oasis.

Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou - Ait-Ben-Haddou in Morocco is a stunning mudbrick ksar located in the southeast of the country and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The small village was built around 1000 years ago and was an important point along the caravan route. Today, Ait-Ben-Haddou is one of the most fascinating places to visit in Morocco and a popular stop for tours across the country. Due to its unique architecture and incredibly magical ambiance, the Kasbah Ait-Ben-Haddou has become a film set for many famous movies, including Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and Lawrence of Arabia.
