Traverse the lush Draa Valley, famous for its date palms and kasbahs, before reaching the edge of the Sahara at M’Hamid.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the famous Tizi n'Tichka Pass at 2,300 meters. Marvel at the stunning views of the Ounila Valley, dotted with ancient villages and historic kasbahs. Stop at the iconic Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a backdrop for countless films.
