Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech, Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, Agdz, Zagora

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, then the 2-day desert tour to Zagora is a must-do activity when visiting Marrakech. Your journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel in the city at around 07h30 AM. Along the way, you'll pass through the Tizi Ntichka pass, where you'll catch stunning views of the High Atlas Mountains and several adobe Berber villages. Stop and stretch your legs at the mountains for a coffee break or to take some pictures. At Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, you'll have free time to explore the UNESCO world heritage site before joining a guided tour for a small extra fee. After an hour's lunch break, the tour continues past Ouarzazate and crosses the Northeastern parts of the Anti-Atlas Mountains to the oasis of Agdz. You'll stop in the village center for a quick break before continuing the drive along Draa Valley. Here you'll see fortified Kasbahs and oases dotted with hundreds of thousands of date palm trees. The desert awaits as you arrive at Zagora late in the afternoon and meet your camel caravan for a fantastic sunset camel ride for about an hour. As it gets dark, drive your camels to the Berber desert camp where you'll be served a delicious Moroccan dinner. Enjoy the drums performance next to the campfire before your local desert nomad hosts play and sing traditional folklore music until midnight. Don't miss the chance to learn about the stars and constellations or simply enjoy the peacefulness of the desert under the crystal-clear night sky.

Day 2: Zagora, Ouarzazate, Marrakech

After a night of magical experiences in the Berber desert camp, your camp hosts will wake you up early in the morning to watch the stunning sunrise. You'll then have breakfast before riding your camels again to meet your vehicle and driver on the main road. The journey back to Marrakech begins with a stop for lunch at a local café, and an optional visit to Taourirt Kasbah (entrance fees apply and depends on timing). Early in the afternoon, you'll depart for Ouarzazate and then cross the High Atlas Mountains.
