Route overview

Illustrative sequence, not a geographic map. Stops and access remain subject to confirmation.

Day 1

Ouarzazate Agdz Zagora M’Hamid

Watch the rocky scenery open into palm groves around Agdz. Pause at a suitable viewpoint before continuing along the valley or beginning the return.

Reach Zagora for an oasis-town pause and views of the surrounding valley. This stop marks the southern direction without assuming a remote dune excursion.

Arrive at the edge of M’Hamid’s desert landscape. Spend time around the village and nearby sands; deeper desert travel needs a separate plan and suitable vehicle.

Planned overnight areaM’Hamid

Day 2

M’Hamid Draâ Valley Ouarzazate

Follow the inhabited valley through palms and earthen villages. Select a small number of worthwhile stops rather than trying to visit every village.
