DAY 1: MARRAKECH – ZAGORA (CAMEL RIDE & OVERNIGHT DESERT CAMP)

Your Desert tour from Marrakech begins with a scenic drive through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m), the highest road pass in North Africa. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking landscapes and traditional Berber villages nestled in the mountains.

Our first stop is at the famous Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning kasbahs and as the filming location for numerous Hollywood movies and TV series like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After exploring this historic ksar, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant before continuing our journey.

We then drive through the Anti-Atlas Mountains, passing by the spectacular Draa Valley, home to Morocco’s longest river (Draa River, 1,200 km) and endless stretches of palm groves. Upon arrival in Zagora, experience the magic of the desert as you embark on a camel ride through the golden dunes at sunset.

Your evening will be spent in a traditional Berber desert camp, where you’ll enjoy an authentic Moroccan dinner under the stars, accompanied by live traditional music around the campfire.

DAY 2: ZAGORA – OUARZAZATE – MARRAKECH

Wake up early to witness an unforgettable sunrise over the Zagora dunes, a truly magical experience. After breakfast, ride your camel back to the main road, where your driver will be waiting.

On the way back to Marrakech, we stop in Ouarzazate, often called the "Gateway to the Sahara", known for its impressive kasbahs and as a major filming location for international productions. Here, you can visit the iconic Taourirt Kasbah or explore the famous Atlas Film Studios (optional visit).

After exploring Ouarzazate, we continue our return journey through the Atlas Mountains, arriving in Marrakech by evening, marking the end of your 2-day desert tour from Marrakech.
