Description

Want to add something different to your Moroccan adventure, you ask? If you have a taste for adventure and a lust for something new, take a short escape to the Dakhla peninsula, where you can discover sand dunes and sparse countryside on the edge of Sahara that’s seriously off the tourist radar. Take a 4WD adventure through the desert, relax next to crystal clear beaches and appreciate traditional Bedouin hospitality. Enjoy renowned seafood straight from the catch and marvel at the beautiful Bahia de Dakhla lagoon. It’s real out of this world stuff, but luckily for you,

it’s only a short trip from Morocco.

SEQUENCE OF SPOTS
*Marrakech
*Dakhla
*Dune Blanche – Portorico - Imlili

Highlights
*Be a true explorer, as you leave mainland Morocco for a beach and desert
adventure, isolated from the tourist trail and a place out of the ordinary –
Dakhla was largely inaccessible until only a couple of years ago!
* Discover white sand dunes, crystal clear beaches and countryside on the edge
of the Sahara, and enjoy the fresh seafood from its Atlantic waters.
* Spend a night under the stars in a Bedouin camp. After a day of 4WD-ing
through the inland desert of Imlili, relaxing into their traditional hospitality is
well worth it.

Program

Day 1 : Arrival to Marrakech
Salaam Aleikum! Greetings from Marrakech. Your Dakhla adventure begins with an
evening welcome meeting with your assistance. After the important meeting, why not
check out Djemaa el-Fna – the main square and meeting place of Marrakech. With
food stalls, crafts, musicians, artists and an overall infectious vibe, it is the place to be
of an evening.
Accommodation
 Hotel (1 night)
Meals Included
There are no meals included on this day.

Day 2 : Marrakech - Dakhla
This morning, take a flight to the desert peninsula of Dakhla. The flight is expected to
arrive late morning, but scheduling changes may occur. After you are checked in to
the hotel, head on an orientation walk with a local leader who will help you get your
bearings. Dakhla is located on a 35-kilometre-long peninsula, with a landscape of
rolling sand dunes, desert beaches, and sun almost all year round. It is a calm and
serene place, and being so isolated, provides an ideal reason to switch off and
immerse yourself into the world around. Dakhla is popular for adventure seekers, with
a large range of water-based activities on offer, and the warm waters surrounding the
peninsula are also a great fishing area, with a significant portion of southern Europe’s
oysters coming from here. In the evening, seek out some food, perhaps at the local
market in Dakhla town, and be sure to have a traditional mint tea later on.

Day 3 : Dakhla – Dune Blanche – Portorico - Imlili
Today, head off to ‘dune blanche’ – the White Dune. Situated about 30 kilometres
from Dakhla town, it is a stunning sand dune that juts out of large lagoon, with a small
body of water in its centre. It is a paradise for flamingos – you’ll get some pretty cool
photos here. Afterwards, head to the stunning shores of Portorico Beach, for a laze
around and maybe a swim. Today will also include a 4WD adventure inland to Imlili.
This unique landscape in the western Sahara has a series of saltwater and
freshwater lakes which are teeming with small fish, ready to give a foot pedicure. On
the way, you’ll drive over dunes, pass by wild camels and stop for an included picnic
lunch. In the evening, head to a traditional Bedouin camp. Bedouin is a generic name
for a ‘desert-dweller’, and this form of camping gets you right in the heart of the
desert with traditional hospitality and a real taste of what local living for these people
is like. Even though the conditions are basic with shared facilities, this experience is
something you won’t forget.

seafood barbecue for lunch, and later in the afternoon, take a flight back to
Marrakech, where you will be transferred to a hotel for the night.
