Description of the tour

On this tour we travel on foot, so it is important that you bring good shoes or sandals and that you are in good shape. We bring dromedaries with us that will carry your luggage. We will ask you to leave unnecessary luggage at our home (in a safely locked room) so as not to overwhelm the dromedaries. Besides your luggage, they will carry our tents, water and food for each day.

​​

We will depart around 10.00 in the morning after a delightful breakfast in our home at Bani Hayoune Garden. Walking through old kasbahs and villages where people nowadays still live, we will slowly reach the dry Drâa river, surrounded by small dunes, acacia, palms and always the mountains at the horizon. It is most likely that we come across herbs such as camomile and we can show you how to find the resin of the acacia, used by nomads in their tea. We will walk through the dry river and through easily reachable mountain landscapes. During midday we reach a small lake on the side of a small mountain and prepare tea and lunch there. There is time to rest or explore the area. After lunch we continue by foot and will slowly start to search for a spot to setup our camp. At the camp we cook tea and dinner on a small fire, and you can experience the immense silence of the landscape. We will be far away from any noise or city lights. 

​

The next day we will continue walking after breakfast and after collecting our camp. We will take a different road and ensure sufficient breaks in beautiful landscapes. It is up to you how many days we will walk and how far we walk. Because of this, no tour is the same and every tour is unique.

Please note: route may vary per trip!
