Draa valley desert trek is a 6-day hiking Sahara desert dunes in the stunning Draa valley and Mhamid region. We invite you to explore the beautiful Sahara desert and remote campsites in the dunes. Draa valley is the longest river in Morocco and was shaped by merging the Dades River and the Imnane River. It starts from the Atlas Mountains to Zagora and from Zagora to the Atlantic Ocean. Local people of Draa valley use its water to irrigate palm groves and small agriculture along the river. The dwellers of the Draa are called Drawi, used to bring up the dark-skinned people of the Draa that make up the most significant part of its dwellers.
