Journey to the highest dunes of the Moroccan Sahara on this three-day expedition. Travel east through the High Atlas, visit the legendary Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou for lunch, and continue to Ouarzazate — Africa's film capital — before spending the night in Zagora.

On day two, cross the Draa Valley via M'hamid and Tamgroute, home to an underground kasbah and a famous Quranic library. Lunch among the Erg Lihoudi dunes precedes an optional hour-long camel ride, then a 64 km off-road drive brings you to Chegaga, where 300-metre dunes glow at sunset.

Return on day three via Lake Iriki, Foum Zguid and the carpet cooperatives of Taznakht, arriving in Agadir late in the evening.
