Your 2-day, 1-night adventure to the Zagora Desert begins at 8:00 AM, with pickup from your accommodation or Marrakech’s main square in a comfortable Mercedes Vito.
Travel south across the High Atlas Mountains, passing through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters above sea level. Along the way, enjoy scenic stops for photos and panoramic views of mountain peaks and Berber villages.

Continue toward Ouarzazate, the famous “Gateway to the Desert,” where countless international movies — such as Asterix & Obelix, Lawrence of Arabia, and Gladiator — were filmed. Enjoy lunch at a restaurant offering a beautiful view of the Taourirt Kasbah, or dine in the city center.

After lunch, journey through the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the stunning Draa Valley, Morocco’s largest oasis lined with endless palm trees and ancient kasbahs.
By afternoon, you’ll arrive in Zagora, where your camel awaits for an unforgettable sunset ride through the dunes.

At the desert camp, savor a traditional Moroccan dinner, then enjoy Berber music and drumming under the stars. Overnight in comfortable nomadic-style tents in the heart of the desert — an experience that captures the true magic of Morocco.

Day 02 Zagora – Agdz – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakech

Rise early to witness a stunning sunrise from the nearby dunes — a serene moment that captures the essence of desert life. After breakfast at the camp, choose to return to the meeting point either by camel or by car, where your Mercedes Vito driver will be waiting.

The journey continues north through Agdz and across the Anti-Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tinifift Pass. Arrive at the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, an ancient 11th-century fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its unique architecture and cinematic history.

Enjoy free time to explore the kasbah and have lunch in a nearby restaurant before heading back to Marrakech.
