2 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora

Your 2 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora begins in the morning from your accommodation or airport in Marrakech. The road takes you through the winding curves of the Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2,260m altitude), where panoramic stops reveal breathtaking mountain views and authentic Berber villages.

The highlight of the morning is a guided walk through the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has hosted Hollywood productions like Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia, as well as TV hits such as Game of Thrones.

After enjoying lunch in Ait Ben Haddou or Ouarzazate, the route continues through the Anti-Atlas Mountains and into the fertile Draa Valley, famous for its endless palm groves and Morocco’s longest river. By late afternoon, you reach Zagora Desert, where camels await to take you across the dunes. As the sun dips below the horizon, settle into your Sahara camp for dinner, traditional music, and dancing under a sky filled with stars.

Wake early for a camel ride at dawn and witness the magical sunrise over the dunes, followed by a traditional Moroccan breakfast. From here, travel back towards Ouarzazate, known as the “Gate of the Desert,” to explore the Taourirt Kasbah and the famous film studios where international blockbusters were filmed.

Crossing once again through the Tizi-n-Tichka pass and the scenic High Atlas, you’ll arrive in Marrakech by late afternoon. Your 2 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora ends with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, carrying memories of the Sahara’s timeless charm.
