PRIVATE DESERT TOUR

Overview

If you want an excursion to the Sahara from Marrakech and you only have one night to visit it, the best option and, in reality, the only option is to visit the Zagora desert. 350km from Marrakech  the Zagora desert is one of only two places where you can see the dunes of the Sahara in Morocco.  The dunes of Zagora may not be as tall as those of Merzouga, but you will have a more authentically Moroccan experience since it has a much lower concentration of tourists. This excursion is one that you will remember for a long time.

ITINERARY: 2 DAYS MARRAKECH DESERT TRIP

Day1: Marrakech – Atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Zagora

On the morning of the first day of your 2 day Marrakech desert trip, our berber guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech. We depart in the direction of the great desert by a confortable 4WD. The journey 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.

We will continue our tour from Marrakech to Zagora toward 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. After walking the site we continue to Ouarzazate, which is known as the Moroccan Hollywood, because it frequently hosts film and television productions. You may recognize it from Game of Thrones.   After Ouarzazate we finalize the journey reaching the town of Zagora. The dromedaries will be waiting to take us to the camp where we will spend an amazing night drumming around the fire under an incredible blanket of stars.

Day2: Zagora – Ouarzazate – Telouet – Marrakech

We wake up for the sunrise, which is worth the effort to see or experience. A dromedary will take us back to the town and 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 return to Marrakech.
