The Timbuktu Trading Route is a compact 8-day desert journey designed for travelers seeking authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences in southern Morocco. Starting in Casablanca, you’ll visit the iconic Hassan II Mosque before exploring the vibrant city of Marrakech.
From there, the adventure heads deep into the Atlas Mountains and pre-Saharan landscapes, passing through ancient kasbahs, palm-filled valleys, and traditional Berber villages. Travel along the historic caravan routes through the Draa Valley and Zagora, once used by traders journeying between Morocco and Timbuktu.
Experience the raw beauty of the Sahara at Erg Chigaga, with camel trekking, off-road desert drives, and a magical night under the stars in a desert camp. This journey offers a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and unforgettable landscapes.
