AksharAperçu
À M’Hamid, le goudron laisse place aux pistes. C’est cette traversée, autant que les dunes de Chegaga, qui distingue ce circuit partagé de trois jours. Depuis Marrakech, le voyage passe par le Haut Atlas, Aït Benhaddou et les palmeraies du Drâa avant de gagner le désert en 4x4. Le programme et les arrêts sont communs aux participants.
La première nuit se déroule à Agdz, et non à Zagora. Le lendemain associe les visites de Tamegroute et de M’Hamid à la progression sur piste jusqu’au bivouac. La balade à dos de dromadaire, la rencontre avec des hôtes nomades et la démonstration du pain cuit dans le sable apportent un regard concret sur la vie dans ce milieu.
Ce circuit convient si vous acceptez deux longues étapes routières pour atteindre un erg plus isolé. Il ne remplace pas plusieurs journées de marche dans le Sahara. Au camp, prenez le temps d’observer les dunes; pour le trajet, prévoyez des chaussures fermées, une protection solaire et des vêtements pour la fraîcheur du soir.
Les points forts
- Traverser le Haut Atlas et découvrir le ksar d’Aït Benhaddou
- Faire étape à Agdz dans la vallée du Drâa
- Visiter les ateliers de poterie et l’ancienne école coranique de Tamegroute
- Découvrir M’Hamid avant de quitter la route
- Profiter de la balade à dos de dromadaire et de la nuit à Chegaga
- Rencontrer des hôtes nomades et découvrir le pain cuit dans le sable
Itinéraire
Jour 1
Marrakech–Agdz : du Haut Atlas aux palmeraies
Les premières heures quittent la plaine de Marrakech pour les virages du Haut Atlas. Les villages s’accrochent aux reliefs et les paysages changent avec l’altitude. Quelques pauses permettent de se dégourdir les jambes, sans transformer cette traversée routière en randonnée. Gardez une veste accessible.
À Aït Benhaddou, les ruelles et les murs de terre se découvrent à pied. L’emplacement du ksar raconte le passage des échanges entre le sud marocain et Marrakech. Le sol est irrégulier et certaines pentes demandent de bonnes chaussures; chacun adapte sa marche au temps de visite commun.
Après Ouarzazate, la route rejoint Agdz. Les palmiers du Drâa et les villages de terre donnent une autre lecture du paysage : ici, l’eau et les cultures organisent la vie de la vallée. Dîner et nuit à Agdz avant de poursuivre vers M’Hamid le lendemain.
Jour 2
Agdz–Chegaga : Tamegroute, M’Hamid et les pistes sahariennes
La vallée du Drâa accompagne le trajet vers Zagora et Tamegroute. La visite des ateliers de poterie permet d’observer le travail des artisans; il s’agit d’une découverte, pas d’un cours pratique. L’ancienne école coranique complète cette étape dans un village dont l’importance dépasse le seul passage touristique.
À M’Hamid, dernier village avant les pistes de cet itinéraire, une visite précède le départ en 4x4. Le véhicule avance sur des terrains changeants, parfois caillouteux, parfois sableux. Les distances se mesurent autrement : les secousses et les détours imposés par le sol font partie de l’accès à Chegaga.
Les dunes accueillent la balade à dos de dromadaire incluse puis l’installation au camp. Une rencontre avec des hôtes nomades et une démonstration du pain cuit dans le sable éclairent des gestes liés au désert. Demandez l’accord des personnes avant de les photographier. Dîner et nuit au camp 4 étoiles, avec du temps pour regarder le relief des dunes.
Jour 3
Chegaga–Marrakech : retour par Iriki et Foum Zguid
La lumière du matin laisse encore observer les dunes avant le petit-déjeuner et le départ. Le 4x4 prend la direction de la région d’Iriki et de Foum Zguid. Les étendues ouvertes contrastent avec les palmeraies de l’aller; leur traversée dépend toutefois de l’état du terrain, et le chauffeur peut retenir un autre passage si les conditions le demandent.
La route remonte ensuite vers Taznakht et le Haut Atlas. Des pauses pratiques et un déjeuner à votre charge coupent une longue journée de transport. Ne comptez pas cette étape comme une journée supplémentaire au désert : l’essentiel du temps sert au retour à Marrakech.
L’arrivée se fait en soirée, avec une marge liée aux pistes, au col et à la circulation. Évitez donc un vol ou un train à horaire serré ce même soir. La dépose à Marrakech termine ce circuit partagé entre montagnes, oasis et dunes.
