Agrotourism & Sahara

From the farm to the great dunes.

8 days · 7 nights8-14 guests · fully private

Two worlds. One week.

Three nights in the Marrakech region: organic farms, argan cooperatives, olive estates, saffron fields, rose distilleries. Sleep where the ingredients grow, eat what you have harvested, meet those who cultivate.

Then four nights at Erg Chigaga. Forty kilometres of dunes, no village on the horizon, no road beyond the camp. The raw Sahara. A private luxury camp. Sunrise on the dune crests.

One thread runs through both worlds: what the land produces and what it makes you feel.
