2-Day Trip Details

Day 1: Ait Ben Haddou - Draâ Valley - Zagora

On the first day, we'll leave Marrakech behind at the time indicated for Zagora. On the way, we'll pass through the Tizi-N-Tichka mountain pass, a road that crosses the High Atlas at 2260 meters, and from where various Amazigh villages can be seen.

After stopping at the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, we continue on the way to Zagora, crossing the Anti Atlas and seeing the Amazigh village of Agdez, the Draâ Valley and its palm grove, the last sign of vegetation before entering the desert.

The tour arrives in Zagora with enough time to ride a camel and enjoy the desert sunset

Having eaten a traditional dinner, we'll spend the night in an authentic Amazigh tent.

Day 2: Zagora - Draâ Valley - Ouarzazate

Wake up early on day 2 to enjoy an unmissable sight: daybreak in the desert. After the sun has risen, and having eaten a good breakfast & taking a refreshing shower, we'll take a 40-minute camel ride through the desert.

Once again, we pass through the Draâ Valley and Agdez to arrive at Ouarzazate, where we'll visit the Taourit Kasbah.

In the afternoon, we head back on the road to Marrakech. You may eat in Ouarzazate or on the road.

The tour arrives back in Marrakech in the late afternoon.

Accommodation Options

When booking, you can choose between two types of accommodation:

The standard camp can accommodate a maximum of 5 people and the bathrooms and showers are located in common tents.
The superior camp can accommodate a maximum of 4 people and has private bathrooms inside.

In either case, you won't have to share your accommodation with other travelers. We offer double, triple, and family tents. If a single person makes a reservation or if someone in your group prefers a single room, a single supplement will apply.

The standard and superior camps are separate and distinct from each other.

Pickup Points

If you're staying in the Medina, you'll need to go to the following pickup points:

KFC Marrakech, in the Medina, located on Av. Mohammed V
Moulay El Yazid Mosque, on Rue de La Kasbah, 23
Collège Mohamed V, Riad Laarouss
Collège Abdelmoumen
Pharmacie Bab Doukkala

If you're staying outside of the Medina, we'll pick you up for free at your hotel or riad. If your hotel is outside of Marrakech, pickup will have an additional fee of 10EUR or 40EUR, depending on the distance.

We'll confirm your exact pickup time after booking.

Private Tours

If you want to do this tour privately with your partner, family or group of friends, you can book our private trip to the desert.

More than 2 Days?

If you have more than 2 days, why not take a look at one of our slightly longer desert day trips to the Merzouga desert?
