Description - What to expect

Zagora Sahara Desert Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech — Kasbah Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate — Zagora
Your Zagora Sahara desert tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel in Marrakech at 7.20 and a drive towards southern Morocco, crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi N’ Tichka Pass (2,260 meters in altitude). Enjoy some spectacular views of the Berber villages of Imouzzar Valley as you drive along.

Stop at Ait Benhaddou, a fortified village that was built by the Ait Aissa tribe in the 15th century for caravan traders traveling from Timbuktu to Andalusia via Marrakech and Tangierone. The village has featured in several well-known movies, including The Gladiators, Ali Baba, Ben Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia. Take a guided tour to the top of the hill that dominates the whole area.

Continue your Zagora Sahara desert tour, heading to Ouarzazate to visit the Taourirt Kasbah, with a short break at the entrance of the city to see the cinema studios and old movie sets. You’ll also have a break for lunch before continuing to Zagora via Agdez and through the Draa Valley.

Just before you get to Zagora, take a camel ride, and enjoy the sunset on your way to the nomadic camp in the Nekhla dunes. Dinner will be served at the camp, and you will spend the night in a private tent.

Day 2: Zagora — Marrakech
On the second day of your Zagora Sahara desert tour, wake up early to enjoy a spectacular sunrise followed by breakfast. Once again, you will have the option of a camel before you ride back to meet your driver.
