The experience
About this trip
We collect you in Taghazout at seven and come down to Agadir before the climb into the Atlas. From there the two days are the same.
Day one crosses the mountains through Berber villages to Taliouine for lunch, then runs on to Zagora and out to Erg Lihoudi for a camel ride in the late light. The night is in a desert camp with private tents, dinner, music and no town lights for miles.
Day two comes back through Agdz to Ouarzazate, then the kasbah at Ait Benhaddou and the road home through Taroudant. Bring warm layers for the night out.
