About this activity
Day 1: Marrakech to Zagora
Start your Marrakech to Zagora 2-day desert tour at 8am, crossing the High Atlas mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka (2260m), to reach the Ait Benhaddou village, the fortified Ksar with its beautiful Kasbahs. You will visit it and have your lunch in one of the local restaurants. Afterwards, we will head to Draa Valley crossing the second pass which is Tizi N’Tnifift at 1710m and the former route of caravans for Sahara traders coming from "Tombouktou”. You will have the opportunity to explore the biggest palm grove on our way to Zagora. There you will take a Camel Trek, ride the camels at sunset and get to our camp located in an oasis.
Day 2: Zagora to Marrakech

You will have free time in Ouarzazate for lunch in a local restaurant and to visit the famous Kasbah of Taourirt. In the afternoon, you will drive back to Marrakech via the Atlas Mountains.
