Once Morocco's longest river, Oued Draa waters the valley's slopes, bringing forth cereals, henna, vegetables, and the finest dates to be found anywhere in the Kingdom.
That wonderful experience leads to the Saghro Mountains for a spectacular contrast of landscapes until the first shade of dunes. Arriving to Chegaga, ride through the infinity of orange sand dunes up to 6 meters high. Settle to your excusive tented Camp.
