If you're in Marrakech for longer than a weekend break, there is nothing more authentic than a desert trip where you spend the night in a traditional Amazigh tent.

2-Day Trip Details

Day 1: Ait Ben Haddou - Draâ Valley - Zagora

On the first day, the tour departs Marrakech for Zagora, passing through the Tizi-N-Tichka mountain pass. A brief stop will be made at the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah before continuing through the Anti Atlas, past the Amazigh village of Agdez and the Draâ Valley, leading to Zagora. Guests will have the opportunity to ride a camel and enjoy the desert sunset, followed by a traditional dinner. Overnight accommodation will be in an Amazigh tent.

Day 2: Zagora - Draâ Valley - Ouarzazate

On the second day, participants will wake up early to witness sunrise in the desert. Following breakfast and a refreshing shower, a 40-minute camel ride will take place. The tour will return through the Draâ Valley and Agdez, arriving in Ouarzazate to visit the Taourit Kasbah. In the afternoon, the group will head back to Marrakech, with the option to eat in Ouarzazate or en route. The trip concludes in the late afternoon upon return to Marrakech.
