Three days trekking into the desert with dromedaries, stopping for tea, meals and necessary breaks, in the middle of sand dunes and overnight either bellow the stars or in tents. A caravan trek is a great opportunity to discover for some time another way of living, closer to mother Nature and discover the magic of simple life.
3-days-trip: In the golden dunes of Merzouga the show of mother nature is even more marvelous at sunset, dawn and sunrise. Possibility to ride dromedaries. Overnight either in the hotel or in typical Berber tents, as you like. We will also visit the famous Rissani souk.

Tarik was born in the desert. When his older sister was enrolled, the nomad family decided to settle in Tamegroute, a village on the edge of the desert. Together with his father, he founded the travel agency when he was in his early twenties. He organizes your perfect holiday tours in Morocco, shows you the most beautiful places in the south, leads you into the desert and leaves nothing to be desired. Tarik speaks English, French, Italian, Spanish, of course Berber and Arabic. And he loves to be inspired by the different lights and colors of the Sahara.
Long time ago the founders of the religious brotherhood assembled the merchants and craftsmen that they had brought from Fes, a city that enjoyed good relations with Tamegroute at the time. This was the starting point of pottery tradition in our village. Pottery has become its main characteristic.
Within the main square, you find seven ovens. Seven ovens belonging to seven pottery families. Each family has an oven and their own atelier. Every family member has his or her own task and specialty. The art-form and ability of pottery is carried over between generations.
We pick you up at the airports of Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Agadir, Ouarzazate and Zagora. If you have only little time to experience Morocco, a good priced flight from Marrakech to Ouarzazate or from Casablanca to Zagora would be a comfortable option. On a more sustainable way you can go to our village Tamegroute by public transport. Please let us know, if you need any further information on that.
In the middle of this stony desert, we have built up our traditional camp in typical Moroccan style: comfortable tents, Berber carpets, handcraft lamps etc. After a camel ride you enjoy an unique experience of intimacy and tranquility! In the evening: romantic dinner under starry sky.
