Tour Plan
Day 1: Marrakech - Tizi n’Tichka - Ait Ben Haddou - Zagora
Your small group 2 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora to the Sahara begins with a departure from Marrakech, ascending the dramatic Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). We pause at sweeping viewpoints where the air is crisp and ancient Berber villages cling to the mountainsides like jewels.
After descending the Atlas, we reach the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou. This century-old ksar is a masterpiece of earthen architecture and has served as the iconic backdrop for Hollywood epics like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Following a traditional Moroccan lunch, we traverse the Draa Valley, home to Morocco’s longest river and a lush “green ribbon” of millions of date palms.
As the sun begins to set, you will mount your camel for a trek into the Zagora dunes. The day culminates at a nomadic private morocco desert tours camp, where a Berber feast and rhythmic drumming under the star-filled Saharan sky await.
