DAY 1: TRAVEL FROM MARRAKECH TO AIT BENHADDOU KASBAH AND OUARZAZATE STUDIOS TOWARDS AGDEZ  AND HAVE FAN WHILE RIDING CAMEL IN ZAGORA

The private driver for your Marrakech to desert tour will pick you up around 8 a.m. from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. The adventure begins with a scenic drive through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, offering breathtaking views of traditional Berber villages and rugged landscapes. We will cross the famous 'Col du Tichka,' the highest paved road pass in Morocco at 2,260 meters, a perfect place for photo stops and to appreciate the dramatic mountain terrain. Our next destination is the iconic Ait Benhaddou, one of Morocco’s oldest and most picturesque fortified villages, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a filming location for numerous Hollywood productions. You'll have time to explore the historic kasbah on foot before we stop for lunch at a charming local restaurant nearby, where you can enjoy authentic Moroccan cuisine.

After lunch, we continue our journey deeper into the south, heading toward the desert town of Zagora. Along the way, we travel through the stunning Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest river valley, which stretches for over 1,000 kilometers and is lined with thousands of date palms and ancient kasbahs. This route takes us through a number of small Berber villages, offering a glimpse into traditional desert life. Upon arrival in Zagora in the late afternoon, you’ll experience a memorable sunset camel ride into the nearby Sahara desert. The ride leads to your desert camp, nestled among the dunes, where you'll be welcomed with Moroccan hospitality. Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner under the stars, followed by a relaxing evening around the campfire with local music. Your overnight stay in the Sahara desert camp offers a peaceful and authentic desert experience, far from the noise of the city.

DAY 2: ZAGORA TO DRAA VALLEY ,OUARZAZATE AND CROSSING ATLAS MOUNTAINS AT TIZI-N-TICHA AND FINISH TOUR IN MARRAKECH

After watching the perfect sunrise in the desert, you'll enjoy a peaceful morning before riding camels back through the golden dunes to reach Zagora, where your 4x4 driver will be waiting. From there, we begin our return journey, passing once again through the spectacular Draa Valley, known for its lush palm groves and ancient kasbahs. Along the way, we’ll travel through the town of Agdez, where we stop for lunch and a short rest, enjoying local cuisine in a quiet, scenic setting. The road continues through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the impressive Tizi n’Tichka pass with more opportunities to admire panoramic mountain views.
