Marrakech
Marrakech, the Red City, with its ancient medina is a feast of winding alleyways and vibrant souks, beautiful architecture and mesmerising gardens. Its rich culture, bustling nightlife, and wonderful scenic spots, not to mention the stunning Atlas Mountains, make Marrakech a must for everyone.
Ouarzazate
On the other side of the Atlas Mountains, Ouarzazate marks the start of the famous Kasbah Route and the real journey south. With its distinctive earth architecture, it has been the setting and location for many hit movies, often dubbed Morocco’s Hollywood. Its studios, Film Museum and Old Palace make it a fascinating stop-off on route to the desert.
Ait Ben Haddou
The Kasbah of all Kasbahs, Ait Ben Haddou’s rich history has earnt it UNESCO status and rightly so. This living Kasbah (yes, people inhabit the fortress), sits majestically on the banks of the Draa River. Take a stroll around the walled village, watch artisans at work or climb to the top to take in the stunning views of the ancient caravan trade route.
Agdz
This unassuming little village is an oasis of charm and stunning scenery. Nestled in the vast Palm Grove of the Draa Valley, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Agdz is the real gateway to the Sahara. With its miles and miles of date groves, abundant earthen architecture, Agdz does more than hint to the promise of the desert adventure ahead.
Zagora
This dusty pink Berber market town, with its Riads, Hotel and boutiques is the region’s main centre. Flanked by palm groves, and the namesake Zagora Mountains, the traditional blue robes of the desert can be spotted everywhere. The 17th century Mellah (Jewish Kasbah) of Amezrou sits on the outskirts, where silversmiths still create beautiful berber jewellry.
Tamegroute
Steeped in history, this small village outside of Zagora was once an important centre of religious learning. Its famous library houses 1000s of ancient works on science, astrology, mathematics, and 14th century edition of the Koran. It is also famous for its distinctive green earthen pottery, made by hand in traditional kilns.
M’Hamid
Final stop and last oasis before the start of the Sahara, M’hamid’s dusty, Saharan ambience is the real desert deal. Once the bustling meeting point for the ancient caravans to Timbuktu, the town and its ancient Kasbah was a commercial epicentre and thriving dwelling place of historical importance. Now nomads have settled in the “new” town. Undoubtedly the most beautiful desert and dunes in Morocco, M'Hamid is where the real adventure begins.
Erg Chigaga
The great dunes of Erg Chigaga are the highest and the most beautiful in Morocco. They can be reached by 4x4 via the 60km dusty piste that passes some of the most stunning landscapes of the Sahara. Or take your time and trek there by camel. The view at sunset from the top of the endless dunes is beyond breath-taking and well worth the trip.
