Early in the morning, we depart from Marrakech for a long journey southward, through incredibly diverse landscapes. We cross the Tizi N'Tichka Pass (the highest road in Morocco at 2260m) and reach the famous Draa Valley, passing through Ouarzazate. We then cross the Tizi N'Tinifift at an altitude of 1660m to arrive at Agdz, a fortified village that controls the northern entrance of the trail connecting Marrakech to Timbuktu. Once in Zagora, we traverse the stunning desert plateau of Faija until we reach the foothills of Djebel Bani, where the first dunes can be seen in the distance. We set up our first bivouac for a dinner under the southern stars.

After a wake-up in the heart of nature, we begin our hike into the vast desert landscapes. We meet our camel drivers, load the camels, and start crossing Djebel Bani, the natural border between the mountains and the desert plains. The walk across a rocky plateau leads us to the Oum Laachar Guattara Pass and then to the oasis of Diabi, where we have lunch in the shade. We set up camp for the night near a small spring at the foot of Djebel Abbes.

Day 4: Oued L'Mahassre / Chegaga Dunes (approximately 5.5 hours of walking)
