From the coast to a desert camp near Zagora by Taroudant and the carpet town of Taznakht, then home along the palm groves of the Draa Valley.
From Agadir the shortest road to the desert never touches Marrakech. It runs east by the walled town of Taroudant and by Taznakht, known for its carpets, then joins the Draa Valley, a band of date palms, kasbahs and villages some 200 km long, down to Zagora. You ride a camel at sunset to the camp, eat dinner with music under a very dark sky and stop at Tamegroute, with its old library and green pottery, on the way home.
We collect you from your Agadir hotel at 7:30 am. The first stop is Taroudant, to walk the ochre ramparts and the Berber market. Then Taznakht, where carpets are woven, and the road down the Draa Valley through palm groves and old villages to Zagora. You reach the camp in time for a camel ride on the dunes at sunset, followed by dinner and music under the stars.
