DAY 1 · Marrakech
First, we find our bearings
We arrive in Marrakech and take time to land.
Without starting at a run. A first day to rest, stroll through the medina and begin to settle into the rhythm of Morocco.
The soul of southern Morocco
The Nomad Route
10 days · Marrakech · Fint Oasis · Drâa Valley · Erg Chigaga · Aït Ben Haddou
10 days · Marrakech · Fint Oasis · Drâa Valley · Erg Chigaga · Aït Ben Haddou
There is a way of getting to know Morocco that does not appear on a list of places.
It lies in sharing a tea with a family, walking among palm groves, entering a market, learning about a craft, listening to music around the fire or sitting down to talk without looking at the clock.
The Nomad Route was created to get closer to that Morocco.
A journey through the south, between oases, palm groves, markets, local families and the dunes of Erg Chigaga.

DAY 2 · Marrakech
Two nights to really arrive
An unhurried morning to keep discovering the city.
Strolling, stopping at a market, tasting its flavours and settling further into the rhythm of Morocco.
DAY 3 · Marrakech → Fint Oasis
The country begins to change
We leave Marrakech and cross the Atlas towards the south.
The landscape grows more arid and the first palm trees, kasbahs and small communities appear.
We arrive at the Fint Oasis, a small oasis surrounded by rock and vegetation. Here another part of the journey begins.
DAY 4 · Fint Oasis
A day to share
Today we are not here simply to visit. We are here to share.
We take a walk through the oasis and meet a local family. We eat together, share a tea and get closer to some of their traditions.
We also discover henna and learn a little more about the lives of the people who live in this land.
DAY 5 · Drâa Valley
Palms, market and local life
We continue to the Drâa Valley.
A landscape of great palm groves, kasbahs and villages that follow the course of the river. We visit a local market and get close to everyday life in this region.
Here the landscape is not just beautiful. It is the way of life of the people who live in it.
DAY 6 · Zagora → Erg Chigaga
And then, the Sahara
From Zagora we continue towards the desert. We enter by 4x4 and leave behind the last signs of urban life.
The landscape opens up. The dunes appear. Erg Chigaga.
DAY 7 · Erg Chigaga
Two nights to live the desert
There is time to walk among the dunes, rest, share a tea and learn about some of the traditions of the Sahara.
Bread under the sand. Turbans. Henna. Saharan music. Fire. And a night sky that seems never to end.
There is no need to fill the time here.
DAY 8 · Erg Chigaga → Aït Ben Haddou
From the dunes to the kasbahs
We leave the Sahara behind and begin the journey back.
The landscape changes again. From the desert we return to the mountains, villages and kasbahs.
We arrive at Aït Ben Haddou, where we spend our last night in the south.
DAY 9 · Aït Ben Haddou → Marrakech
Last night
We cross the Atlas again. The landscape changes one last time as we near Marrakech.
We spend the last night in Marrakech or its surroundings, depending on the flight time. One last night to rest before heading home.
DAY 10 · See you soon
A different view of the south
Breakfast and transfer to the airport.
You take home photographs, flavours, conversations and memories. But above all, a different view of southern Morocco.
Your journey, your way
