2-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora
Day 1:
Drive across the High Atlas Mountains and visit the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. Continue through the Draa Valley with its palm oases and Berber villages. In the desert, enjoy a sunset camel ride to a Bedouin camp, followed by dinner and music around the fire.
Day 2:
Watch the sunrise over the desert, then ride back by camel. On the return to Marrakech, stop to explore the Ouarzazate Film Studios (“Hollywood of Africa”) before crossing the High Atlas to your hotel.
At 8:00 a.m., we’ll pick you up from your accommodation and drive across the High Atlas Mountains. We’ll stop to admire stunning landscapes and traditional Berber mud villages before arriving at the famous, fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou—a UNESCO World Heritage site and backdrop for films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
After lunch, we continue to Zagora, passing through Ouarzazate and the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we’ll discover the hidden oases of the Draa Valley, dotted with palm groves and ancient villages.
Upon reaching the desert, camels will be waiting to take you on a ride across the rocky landscape. You’ll stop to witness a breathtaking sunset before arriving at the Bedouin camp. There, you’ll be welcomed with mint tea, followed by dinner and an evening of drumming and stories around the fire under a starry sky.
Wake up early today to witness one of the most beautiful sunrises of your life. After breakfast, you’ll ride a camel back to meet your driver and begin the journey to Marrakech.
The route takes you through the stunning Draa Valley and the Anti-Atlas Mountains. You’ll stop for lunch in Ouarzazate—known as “Africa’s Hollywood”—home to the world’s largest Oscar Film Studios, which you’ll have the chance to explore.
In the afternoon, we’ll cross the High Atlas Mountains and transfer you comfortably to your hotel in Marrakech.
