THE VALLEY OF DRAA IS OASIS AND DUNES


hiking through the desert and the draa valley. The Draa Valley offers a wide variety of landscapes: regs (stone plateaus), dunes, palm trees, oases, fortified mud villages ... For a long time it was a transit point for caravans crossing the Sahara. The Moroccan south, from Zagora, offers a beautiful territory full of dune and oasis landscapes, surrounded by the Djebel Bani. Ideal place for a walking route to the gates of the Sahara and to discover the magic of the desert among friends or family. Nights under the stars, dromedary rides, meals with fire in the desert ... this circuit offers all this and more. A unique option to discover the south of Morocco .
