2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora : Itinerary
Day 1: Marrakech → High Atlas Mountains → Aït Ben Haddou → Zagora Desert (Camel Ride - Camp Night)
Your journey begins around 08:00 AM, when we pick you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. We start driving through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where the road winds between dramatic cliffs, small Berber villages, and beautiful panoramic views.
Along the way, we stop for pictures, fresh air, and small breaks whenever you need them.
Around midday, we arrive at the legendary Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most iconic ksar villages. Many international movies and series were filmed here, and walking through its ancient streets feels like stepping into history.
In the afternoon, we continue our journey toward the south until we reach Zagora, the gateway to the desert. Here, your camels will be waiting for you. You’ll enjoy a peaceful sunset camel ride across the small dunes as the sky turns soft and golden.
Day 2: Zagora Desert → Sunrise → Draa Valley → Tamnougalt → Marrakech
Wake up early if you can sunrise in the Zagora desert is a gentle, magical moment you won’t want to miss. Take a short walk, breathe the fresh morning air, and enjoy the silence of the desert before breakfast.
After eating, we begin our drive back toward Marrakech, following the beautiful Draa Valley, known for its endless palm groves, ancient kasbahs, and the Draa River the longest river in Morocco. We make stops for photos and small visits along the way, including a short stop at the historic Tamnougalt Kasbah , a peaceful and atmospheric old village.
We continue our road through the mountains until we reach Marrakech in the late afternoon or early evening, bringing your short but memorable desert adventure to an end.
Important Note
Zagora offers a beautiful desert experience, but its dunes are smaller compared to Merzouga (Erg Chebbi). If you want tall golden dunes, more camel trekking, and a deeper Sahara feeling, we recommend choosing one of our Merzouga desert tours .
