2 Days Marrakech to Zagora Desert Tour

Day 1: Journey from Marrakech to Zagora

Your desert adventure begins early in the morning. Depart Marrakech and cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. The scenic drive reveals Berber villages and panoramic landscapes.

Stop in Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through its ancient clay kasbahs, famously featured in Hollywood movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.

Continue through Ouarzazate, the “Gateway to the Desert.” Capture photos at the Taourirt Kasbah, then head south toward the Draa Valley. This lush, palm-filled valley stretches for miles, offering a striking contrast to the arid surroundings.

Arrive in Zagora before sunset. Meet your camel caravan and ride through the dunes, watching the colors change as the sun dips behind the horizon. Spend the night in a desert camp under the stars. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, local music, and an unforgettable Sahara night.

Day 2: Return to Marrakech via Scenic Route

Wake up early for a peaceful desert sunrise. After breakfast at the camp, mount your camel for the return ride to the village.

Your driver will take you back through the Draa Valley, with stops for photos and rest. Relish the unique blend of palm groves, sand dunes, and rocky mountains.

Break for lunch along the way, then pass through Ouarzazate again. There’s time for a short visit to a local film studio or museum if desired.

By early evening, you’ll be back in Marrakech, full of new memories and vivid images of the desert.
