Start your adventure with a morning departure from Marrakech, heading towards Zagora, a charming desert town located at the edge of the Sahara. The drive takes you through the stunning Tizi-n-Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the rugged terrain and traditional Berber villages along the way. As you descend into the Draa Valley, you’ll be surrounded by lush palm groves and ancient kasbahs, a stark contrast to the arid desert landscape.

Upon arrival in Zagora, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the desert atmosphere with a camel ride through the dunes. As the sun sets, enjoy the tranquil beauty of the desert and spend the night at a traditional desert camp under a starlit sky, experiencing authentic Berber hospitality. The evening will include a delicious dinner, often featuring traditional dishes like tagine and couscous, followed by music and stories around the campfire.

The following morning, after breakfast, take a final opportunity to explore the desert surroundings before beginning the return journey to Marrakech. On the way back, you may stop for a visit to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ancient mud-brick kasbahs, famously featured in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Arrive in Marrakech by the evening, completing this memorable desert getaway.
