2-Days tour from Marrakech to Zagora desert

DAY 1 : MARRAKECH – AIT BEN HADDOU – ZAGORA DESERT

Set off early in the morning (about 08h00) on a private 2-day desert excursion from Marrakech to Zagora across the high Atlas mountains Tizi Ntichka pass (2260 m. alt.). We pass through several Berber settlements along the route. Various pauses will be made along the journey to appreciate the scenery, snap photographs, or simply have a cup of coffee, mint tea or use the loo and walk a little to stretch your legs. Upon arriving at Ait Ben Haddou hamlet, enjoy a short tour of the UNESCO world heritage site known for its Kasbah and walled hamlet, which was formerly utilized as a scene for numerous renowned Hollywood epics, a local guide will take you on a tour of the hamlet and its Kasbah. After lunch, which will be enjoyed either at the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah or in Ouarzazate, you’ll travel via the Anti Atlas Mountains, Agdez hamlet, a well-known crossing for convoys in the past, and the Draa Valley, which is home to hundreds of thousands of different species of palm palms. The Draa Valley region is home to some of Morocco’s largest palm plantations. We will arrive in Zagora late in the afternoon to prepare for a camel ride over the sand dunes to witness a stunning sunset before returning to your Zagora Luxury Desert Camp. Take advantage of its offerings, and you will have a truly magical night beneath a starry sky.
