On the program - Visit of Skoura and its palm grove in private. Nicknamed "the oasis of a thousand palm trees", the Skoura palm grove is hidden behind the bricks of an ancient fortress. This is where the desert caravans left their cargo of gold and spices after long journeys. In addition to its palm trees, Skoura is famous for its apple, almond, walnut, pomegranate and fig trees, irrigated by small canals between which grow wheat and alfalfa. We explore it in the company of a private guide, as well as the city which is also worth visiting for its beautiful kasbahs. The most famous, Amerhidil, even adorned the old 50 dirham notes. To see, to do - Taste the animation of the souks - ride a bike in the alleys - spin to the gorges of Todra, in the Valley of the Roses or the Dades Valley.

Road to Tinejdad (2h45) and installation for the night in a guest house renovated by a local association. The profits were then used to renovate other houses in the old ksar dating from the 19th century - a way of fighting the ravages of time on the beautiful adobe houses. Authenticity is also found inside - traditional objects and colorful fabrics are part of the decor. On the program - The Oasis museum in private, with a English-speaking guide. From the hotel, you go on foot to visit this museum, which occupies a set of three houses within the grounds of Ksar El Khorbat. Through objects, photos and models, we discover the Berber way of life and traditions, but also the region and the roots of its nomadic culture.

Transfer and installation for the night in a superb camp, in the middle of the Chegaga dunes. On arrival at the scene, images of films or accounts of explorers from past centuries appear. In your tent, straw mats, a bed of white wrought iron, all enhanced by soft, powdery hues. Dinner by candlelight in the dunes. On the program - A camel ride on camel around the camp, with a camel driver. At the swaying rhythm of the dromedary, we plunge into the bowels of the desert, we savor the silence that surrounds us and we feel the isolation.
