Activity Details
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Marrakech in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As we ascend the majestic High Atlas Mountains, we’ll pass through the famous Tizi n'Tichka Pass, offering panoramic views of breathtaking landscapes and Berber villages.
Our first major stop is the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, one of the most iconic fortresses in Morocco. This ancient village, famous for its traditional mud-brick architecture, has served as a filming location for Hollywood hits like Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia.
We then continue to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Hollywood of Africa.” If time permits, we may visit the renowned Atlas Film Studios (optional entry fee: €8). After exploring Ouarzazate, we drive through the picturesque Draa Valley, known for its lush palm groves and charming Berber villages.
By late afternoon, we arrive at Zagora, where you will meet your camel caravan. Experience a magical camel trek through the dunes as the sun sets, followed by a traditional Moroccan dinner at a desert camp. Spend the night in a Berber tent under a starlit sky. For added comfort, you can upgrade to a luxury desert camp with a private shower.
Accommodation Options:
- Standard Berber desert camp
- Luxury desert camp (upgrade available)
Wake up early to witness a breathtaking desert sunrise before enjoying a traditional Moroccan breakfast at the camp. Afterward, ride your camel back to Zagora and rejoin your vehicle for the return journey.
We travel back through the Draa Valley, making stops for photos along the way, and pass through Ouarzazate before crossing the Atlas Mountains once more. Expect to arrive back in Marrakech around 6:00 - 7:00 PM, concluding your unforgettable Marrakech desert adventure.
