The Rock Art Roads
10 days / 9 nights
Ouarzazate → Taznakht → Jbel Saghro → Tazzarine → Aït Ouazik → Iferd → Akka → Tata → Amtoudi → Agadir
A slow passage through the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara’s forgotten plateaus — where stone remembers what language forgot. From the dry gorges of the Anti-Atlas to the open plains near Tata, this journey follows the earliest human traces across Morocco’s deep south — a slow archaeology of wind, silence, and stone.
Day 1 – Ouarzazate
Arrive in Ouarzazate, where desert and mountain meet. Visit Taourirt Kasbah or the film studios, but keep your gaze on the hills — their stillness is older than cinema.
Day 2 – Taznakht
Drive south toward Taznakht, land of carpets and nomad dyes. Stay the night among artisans; their patterns echo the same geometry carved on nearby stone.
Day 3 – Jbel Saghro
Cross into Jbel Saghro, a labyrinth of rock and silence. Ancient caravan paths twist through peaks that once guided traders from Timbuktu.
Day 4 – Tazzarine
Reach Tazzarine, where the Sahara begins to speak in whispers. Walk at dusk; the sand here glows with the memory of hoofprints and stars.
Day 5 – Aït Ouazik
Spend the morning among carvings of hunters and oxen. The rock panels lie open to the sky, older than temples. Listen — the past here is not silent, only slow.
Day 6 – Iferd
Continue to Iferd, one of Morocco’s richest open-air galleries. Walk carefully; each step crosses thousands of years. Overnight in a nearby village beneath unbroken stars.
Day 7 – Akka
Akka’s palms shimmer beside ancient rock faces. Visit the petroglyphs of Imi n’Talat, where cattle and hunters march forever across the stone.
Day 8 – Tata
Follow the palm belt to Tata. The town’s rhythm slows to the sound of irrigation channels. The air feels ancient yet kind.
Day 9 – Amtoudi
Climb to the fortified agadir, a granary that watched over caravans for centuries. The wind moves through its corridors like breath through an instrument.
Day 10 – Agadir
End at the ocean, where salt replaces dust. The journey closes in water’s reflection — stone’s oldest mirror.
