You depart your 2-day desert tour from Marrakech to Zagora from your hotel or riad early in the morning (around 07h30). First, you will drive through the Tizi N’tichka pass ( 2260 m. alt ) and cross various Berber villages on the way. Different stops will be made along the way to enjoy the scenery, take photos or sip a cup of mint tea and stretch your legs.
Upon arrival to Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou, enjoy a short visit to this world heritage site used previously as a set for various Hollywood epics like Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia. We will organize an hour visit to the Village at leisure with a local guide.
After lunch at leisure in either Kasbah Air Ben Haddou or Ouarzazate, you’ll drive past the Anti Atlas Mountains, the Berber Village of Agdez, and Draa Valley, its hundreds of thousands of date palm trees. Draa Valley is considered the most significant date palm plantation in Morocco.
We arrive at Zagora late in the afternoon to prepare for a camel trek over the Zagora desert and watch a spectacular sunset before driving your camel back to your Zagora desert camp for a Moroccan dinner with drums and entertainment under the stars.
