From Marrakech: 2-Day Zagora Desert and Atlas Mountains Tour

Escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech on a 2-day trek to the south of Morocco. Pass through the Atlas Mountains, visit a UNESCO-listed Kasbah, and ride on camels through the desert. Spend the night out in the desert at a campsite in the dunes. Spend two days exploring mountainous and desert scenery, as well as traditional Moroccan cities and towns with an experienced guide. Day 1: Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Desert Zagora Start your adventure in Marrakech. First, take the road to the city of Zagora via Ouarzazate. Your first stop is the Citadel of Ait Ben Haddou, where you can visit impressive UNESCO World Heritage sites. The second stop is in the Draa Valley, known for its incredible ksour (castle) and citadel. Zagora is a 6-hour drive from Marrakech. It's a long journey, but you will have the opportunity to experience the beautiful landscapes of Morocco along the way. At the end of the day, arrive in Zagora and enjoy the sunset on a 1-hour camel ride. Finally, enjoy an excellent dinner at a bivouac in the dunes of Zagora. Day 2: Zagora - Marrakech After a traditional Berber breakfast, head out just before sunrise on another 1.5-hour camel ride to get the best views of the changing colors of the sky. Head back to Zagora by camel and say goodbye to your traveling companion. From Zagora, head back to the Atlas Mountains by minivan, with plenty of stops for photos and lunch. Arrive in Marrakech around 7:00 PM.
