ITINERARY: 2 DAYS MARRAKECH DESERT TRIP
If you want an excursion to the Sahara from Marrakech and you only have one night to visit it, the best option and in practice the only one is to visit the Zagora desert. 350km from Marrakech the Zagora desert is one of the two places where you can enjoy the dunes of the Sahara in Morocco. The dunes of Zagora are not as high and impressive as those of Merzouga but the place is much more authentic and accumulates less concentration of tourists. It is an excursion that you will remember with emotion for a long time.
Day 1
Marrakech – Atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Zagora
To start the excursion to the Sahara desert, we pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech in the morning. We depart in the direction of the great desert. The road is rich in landscapes that are worth admiring. Near Marrakech we cross the High Atlas mountains, reaching an elevation of 2260m above sea level at the Tizi´n tichka pass, the highest mountain pass in North Africa.
The route of our 2-days tour from Marrakech to the Zagora desert continues to the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a group of adobe houses surrounded by high walls crowned by towers. The houses were piled up within the defensive walls, and were designed to defend the harvest and the palm groves that grew along the rivers. We visit on foot, then continue to Ouarzazate, also known as the Hollywood of Africa (Ouarzazate). After Ouarzazate we continue through the High Atlas until we reach the town of Zagora. The dromedaries await us, they take us to the camp. We spend an amazing night with drums around the fire and under an incredible blanket of stars.
Day 2
Zagora – Ouarzazate – Telouet – Marrakech
We wake up to see the sunrise, the effort is really worth. We return by dromedary to the town of Zagora to continue by car to Ouarzazate, where we will visit the Kasbah Taourirt. After the visit we continue the journey back through the sharp curves of the High Atlas and the Tizi n´Tichka mountain pass, to finish again in Marrakech.

TESTIMONIALS
“Excellent experience
We had a 4 Days Trip from Marrakesch to the Merzouga Desert and back. The trip was perfect. Our Guide did a great job, was very friendly and we felt us very comfortable with him. Diana, the trip organizer took care of every detail since we contacted her till we were back at home. All journey experience was unforgettable. In desert we stayed in a camp that was really clean and in middle of the desert, we had our own bed and room arrangement. The camel drive, the sunset/ sunrise in desert just lifetime memories! I absolutely worth the money that you pay for that. I highly recommend this company if you like to enjoy Marocco and desert with comfort.
Thank you very much . Hopefully coming back soon for a new Morocco Sahara tour”

“Simply perfect
We dida Morocco Sahara Tour from Marrakech – Sahara Desert – Fes in 4 daysand it was truly a great experience. The trip was very well planned and the people from the agecy took very good care of us. Our driver was great. He shared a lot with us about the Berber way of living and answered all the questions we had about local culture and history. All the stops throughout the way were beautiful and well worth the travelling. The camel trek and the night spent in the dessert were the pinnacle of our holiday in Morocco. The views were breathtaking, the camp was very comfortable and the dinner was delicious. It does get very very cold at night in November so make sure to bring warm clothes with you, although there were plenty of blankets in the tents. The only downside is that the last day involves a lot of driving back to Fes (over 8 hours) but this is unavoidable so be prepared. Overall, highly recommend this trip! “

“Breathtaking experience
We chose the 3 days tour to Erg Chebbi and the trip was amazing! We started our Morocco Sahara toursin Marrakesh and went through the Atlas mountains where the views are breathtaking right at the start of the tour! But this is just the beginning and it keeps getting better as you approach the desert. Along the way you get to visit a lot of more beautiful places and our guide, Faissal, was always very helpful and friendly answering all our questions!
On the next day we arrived to the desert and went on a camel ride to the encampment where you stay at night.The ride is very funny, it was the first time ridding a camel and was very enjoyable. Along the way we saw the sunset wich gives you the opportunity for excellent pictures and memories! We ended this night watching the stars, never seen the sky so clear with so many stars!
The next day we went back to Marrakesh. These are three long days but are worth every second! “
