Tour Itinerary

Day 1 : Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Zagora (7 H Drive)

Join us on our two-day desert tour from Marrakech to Zagora, which departs at 7:30am! Along the way, you can explore the Tizi Ntichka pass and witness local Berber villages herding their goats. Step inside the local shops, take picturesque snaps in the High Atlas Mountains, and enjoy some rest and relaxation with a cup of coffee or tea. Don't miss out on this amazing adventure! Upon arriving at the majestic Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, a fortified fortress full of towering kasbahs, you have the incredible chance to explore its cobblestone pathways and UNESCO world heritage village. There is a knowledgeable tour guide available who can give you a guided tour of the area. After visiting the Kasbah, you can spend the following hour however you wish, be it by wandering the village or sampling some of the local delicacies. We will continue on our journey, driving past Ouarzazate, known as the entry into the Sahara Desert. From there, we will cross the North-eastern portion of the Anti Atlas Mountains, also known as the Lesser Atlas. This range is connected to the High Atlas Mountains by Mt Siroua. We will then visit the oasis between Agdz and Mhamid and take a tour of the fertile palmery, admiring the oasis' agriculture. After a short break in the village, we will drive along Draa Valley. Here you can marvel at the many fortified Kasbahs along with the countless date palm trees. Draa Valley is, in fact, home to the largest concentration of palm trees in the country. We are scheduled to arrive late in the afternoon at the Zagora desert. This will give you the chance to take a break and get a drink before meeting the camel caravans. You will be able to experience the unique beauty of the area with its expansive views and no sand dunes. During this special experience, you will ride a camel through the desert as you witness the remarkable sight of a desert sunset. The entire ride will approximately last an hour. Just before nightfall, our camels will bring us to our Berber desert camp. You'll be served a tantalizing meal of Moroccan fare at your camp, followed by an captivating drum show of local songs and folklore. The night sky will be brimming with sparkling stars, creating an atmosphere of tranquil stillness throughout the camp as you take in the view until midnight.

Day 2 : Zagora – High Atlas – Marrakech (7 H Drive)

Just before the sun peeks over the horizon, your camp guide will ensure you're up to take in the stunning beauty of a desert sunrise. After a filling breakfast, climb aboard your camels for the ride to the main road. Here, you'll meet up with the driver and van, the first step on your way to Ouarzazate, dubbed the gateway to the Sahara Desert. On the way, you'll stop for lunch at a local cafe. Though, depending on time and entrance fees, there is an optional stop at Taourirt Kasbah, an old Glaoui palace. We will begin our return journey to Marrakech in the early afternoon, traversing the challenging terrain of the High Atlas Mountains. Our 2 day shared desert excursion from Marrakech to Zagora will conclude at a location closest to your lodging.
