A trip into the dunes with a camel-ride and picnic.
This trip into the desert departs from the Azali Desert Lodge at 10am, travelling by 4x4.
An hour's drive later, stop for a visit to the Tamegrout Potters and to see the Zawia Naciria - a fascinating library of religious books, some of which date back to the 13th Century. Then continue on the road towards M'Hamid.
At midday, exchange the 4x4 for a camel, for an hour's trek towards your picnic.
Lunch is at the sacred Oasis "Oum Laalag", where a gourmet Moroccan meal is served in the shade of the palm trees; relax with tea and dates.
Either return to Zagora at around 5pm, or walk through the dunes to the camp run by the Azalai Lodge to stay the night (1-2 hours guided walk and camp stay are not included in the picnic price).
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
We really know Morocco and have had the pleasure of making many people's dream trips become reality over the years. It has been our privilege to be asked to manage holidays, weddings and productions for so many fantastic and discerning clients. We remain small and dedicated to providing excellent honest advice to enable you to sit back, relax and enjoy the fun bits without having to manage the unpredictability of this fascinating country.
If you want it done right, look no further!
