After traversing the Atlas Mountains, we will have a brief stop at Ouarzazate and possibly have lunch there. We will then continue our excursion to the southern part of Morocco, and traverse the second pass, Tizi N’Tnifift, at 1710 m. We will then drive through Ait Saoun village, the former pathway for Sahara traders coming from Timbuktu. After a few kilometers, we will arrive at the first administrative center, Agdez, which marks the start of the Draa Valley with its six successive palm groves and Kasbahs. We will continue our voyage through the Draa Valley to reach Zagora, where we will ride the camels that are waiting to take us on a short adventure. After the sunset, we will take a break, enjoy a cup of mint tea, and dine at the desert camp’s restaurant, accompanied by traditional drums music.
