Marrakech, south & coast by helicopter

If you want to visit the deep south of Morocco but don't have time to do all the driving, we have the answer...

Hotels in Morocco with heliports include the Kasbah Tamadot in the Atlas Mountains, the Xaluca Dades above the Dades valley and the Xaluca Maadid at the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

- This itinerary is a suggestion and can be adapted to your preferences.
- The suggested Things-to-do by each hotel are suggestions based on the hotel's location, and are not included in the guideline tour cost.
- Most hotels insist on minimum stays over the Christmas, New Year and Easter periods so some of the short overnight stays may not be possible at these times.

Drive (3 hours) to Zagora.  Lunch at a small desert hotel by the pool. In the afternoon, visit the palm groves of Zagora and an ancient kasbah followed by the pottery of Tagounit.  Drive to a spot where you will meet your camels and take a 30 minute camel trek into the dunes to watch the sunset over the dunes of Erg L'Yehudi.  Arrive at your luxury desert camp.  Shower and prepare for a magical dinner under the stars (and the stars are amazing in the desert due to virtually zero light pollution). Three course meal with traditional desert musicians and other entertainment. Your helicopter has already landed at the camp...
