On this tour from Marrakech, you travel through the High Atlas and on to the great sand sea area of the Chegaga dunes in the Sahara and crossing the vast Iriki salt lake. The itinerary’s routing is much more interesting than is usual and it includes a range of truly special, unique experiences. Rather than following the asphalt routes for much of the trip, special sections take you on to piste, the traditional gravel roads.The High Atlas are splendid, with awesome views of mountain peaks and deep, water cut valleys. Perhaps see Toubkal (4,167m) as you cross the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass. Within the High Atlas, you'll see the traditional villages of the Berber people, the mountain people whose settlements cling to the steep valley sides. Their various farming activities will be seen and much will be learned about their culture and traditions.Within the Sahara, in the Chegaga area, the sand sea offers classic Saharan scenes. Crossing the Iriki salt lake is simply an exhilarating thrill of a ride. On your travels here you’ll encounter Bedouin herders. Their traditional, nomadic life leads them around the Sahara seeking water and grazing for their camel herds. With a camel trek to view the sunset from atop a Chegaga sand dune, you’ll fully appreciate this most exotic location. By travelling into more remote areas such as this tour offers, you'll witness normal, everyday life for the mountain and desert peoples. Many experiences in the tour are necessarily planned but, hopefully, many others are by joyous "happenstance". This tour is designed to let you see real Morocco, its magnificent landscapes and its cultures and for you to immerse yourself in it all.Day 1: Arrival Day; rest of day in Marrakech; o’night MarrakechDay 2: Over the High Atlas via Aït Benhaddou; o’night OuarzazateDay 3: To the Sahara, Chegaga sand sea; o’night Bedouin CampDay 4: The Sahara & across Iriki Lake Bed to the High Atlas; o’night Ouarzazate Day 5: The High Atlas and the Berber Village of Imozer; o’night Marrakech Day 6: Departure Day from Marrakesh
