This 2 days Zagora desert tour from Marrakech is the perfect short escape into the Moroccan Sahara for travelers with limited time. The journey begins with a scenic drive across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, followed by a visit to the famous Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Continuing through the Draa Valley, known for its vast palm groves and traditional villages, you will reach the Zagora desert where your desert adventure begins. Enjoy a camel ride at sunset and spend the night in a traditional desert camp under the stars. This experience is one of the most accessible options within Marrakech desert tours, offering a quick yet authentic taste of the Sahara. The next day, you return to Marrakech with stops at Ouarzazate and historical kasbahs, making this tour a perfect blend of culture, landscapes, and adventure, organized by Positively Morocco Tours.
After crossing the High Atlas Mountains and visiting Ait Ben Haddou, you will continue through the scenic Draa Valley toward Zagora. Upon arrival, you will start your desert experience with a camel trek into the dunes, an essential part of Marrakech desert tours, followed by dinner and an overnight stay in a desert camp.
The next morning you will want to wake up early to enjoy the magical sunrise among the sand dunes followed by breakfast. After breakfast, you will have a 20 minute camel ride back to meet your driver for the return trip to Marrakech. We will drive back along the Draa Valley and through the Anti-Atlas mountains to Ouarzazete. Here, we will visit the Atlas Film studio (Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, The Jewel of the Nile, The Living Daylights, The Mummy, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, etc.) and then take a short (5 minute) drive to the Kasbah of Taourirt, the most impressive fortification in Morocco. Our day’s journey will end with your return to your riad in Marrakech.
