This all-inclusive private tour is suitable for travelers who are determined not to leave Morocco without visiting the Sahara or who decide at the last minute to incorporate a desert stay. It offers you two full days of hectic travel traversing the High Atlas Mountains and probably a road trip of a lifetime as you rock Kasbahs on your way to the desert.
Description
Our fast-paced “Saharan Dune Express” offers you a rich two full days trip to Southern Sahara and fleeting insights into traditional rural culture and lifestyles of local communities in the mountains, oases and desert region. You experience unique landscapes that change almost by the hour which avoids any questions of “are we there yet?”
That said, we feel that a two day tour covering such long distances does not ‘do’ justice to the unique sights and experiences on offer, you will find it to be a long and strenuous journey, however, we feel compelled to offer the tour due to its popularity . We understand the drive of wanting to visit the Moroccan Sahara and to experience a camel ride in the desert and Desert Camp despite time constraints.
To enhance the experience in a limited amount of time, we have always chosen to visit the Erg Lihoudi dune sets just beyond our hometown of Zagora, which are the most impressive. The Zagora Desert area, generally offered to visitors, is in our opinion not worthy of a visit and an overnight stay.
Striking fields, fun and adventure, and a journey into dramatic landscapes and lifestyles unlike any other, await you on this considered Saharan tour.
