This desert tour from Marrakech packs a wide array of Moroccan experiences into one easy overnight excursion. You’ll enjoy a traditional coffee in a Berber village, take in views from Tizi n Tichka (one of the highest peaks in North Africa), see the Draa Valley, visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, and take a sunset camel ride into the Sahara, where you’ll spend the night at a comfortable Berber tent camp.
On the first day, we’ll leave Marrakech behind at the time indicated for Zagora. On the way, we’ll pass through the Tizi-N-Tichka mountain pass, a road that crosses the High Atlas 2260 meters up, and from where various Amazigh villages can be seen.
Having made a brief stop at the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, we continue on the way to Zagora, crossing the Anti Atlas and seeing the Amazigh village of Agdez, the Draâ Valley and its palm grove, the last sign of vegetation before entering the desert.
The tour arrives in Zagora with enough time to ride a camel and enjoy the desert sunset
Having eaten a traditional dinner, we’ll spend the night in an authentic Amazigh tent.
Waking up early on day 2 to enjoy an unmissable sight: daybreak in the desert. After the sun has risen, and having eaten a good breakfast & taking a refreshing shower, we’ll take a 40-minute camel ride through the desert.
Once again we pass through the Draâ Valley and Agdez to arrive at Ouarzazate, where we’ll visit the Taourit Kasbah.
In the afternoon we leave back on the road to Marrakech. You may eat in Ouarzazate or on the road.
The tour arrives back in Marrakech in the late afternoon.
