Day 1: Marrakech – Ait Benhaddou – Zagora

Start your adventure early in the morning from Marrakech and travel through the High Atlas Mountains. We cross the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters above sea level, enjoying breathtaking views over the mountain peaks and valleys.

Our first major stop is the ancient Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its mud-brick architecture and cinematic history. Wander through the narrow streets of the kasbah, admire the unique architecture, and take photos of this iconic landmark.

After the visit, the journey continues southward, crossing the Draa Valley, a vast and fertile valley dotted with palm groves and small Berber villages, before arriving in Zagora, the gateway to the Moroccan Sahara.

Once in Zagora, we transfer to dromedaries and ride into the desert to reach the sand dunes. Witness a stunning desert sunset, creating unforgettable memories. Spend the night in traditional haimas (desert tents) under the starry desert sky. Dinner is served in the camp.

Day 2: Zagora – Marrakech

After breakfast in the desert, enjoy a morning ride back on the dromedaries, returning to the main camp. Freshen up with a warm shower before beginning the journey back to Marrakech.

Along the way, we make stops to admire the beautiful landscapes, take photos, and enjoy a cup of traditional Moroccan tea. Arrive back in Marrakech in the late afternoon or early evening, concluding your memorable desert adventure.
