2 Days Zagora Desert Tour from Marrakech

(4 Reviews)

958 Reviews

Description :

The  2-day desert excursion from Marrakech  will allow you to explore the depths of the Sahara Desert quickly and easily. You’ll get a glimpse of this region in just a few hours.  Marrakech  is a beautiful city that requires time to be properly explored, so if you’re short on time, a camel ride through the Zagora sand dunes is a must. Furthermore, spending a night under the stars at our  Sahara Desert camp is highly recommended, and this is the best Sahara Desert tour package   available. Keep in mind that the journey takes seven hours, but we assure you that you won’t be bored because the scenery is breathtaking.

Highlights:

  • Journey through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains
  • Cross the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass
  • Explore the legendary Berber village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Discover the lush Draa Valley, with its fortified villages, palm groves, and oases
  • Enjoy a camel ride at sunset across the dunes of Zagora
  • Spend the night under the stars in a traditional Berber tent
  • Visit Ouarzazate and the historic Kasbah of Taourirt

Itinerary:

Day 1 :Marrakech – Zagora (07:00H BY CAR)

The  2-day desert excursion from Marrakech  , which begins in Marrakech and ends in  the Zagora desert  , will depart from your hotel/riad. We will leave around 8:00 AM for Zagora, crossing the Tizi N’tichka pass and passing through several Berber villages along the way. Upon arrival at the Kashab of Ait Ben Haddou, we recommend you open your eyes wide and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes surrounding you, as you will be walking through a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has served as the backdrop for numerous Hollywood films such as Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia.
After lunch in Ouarzazate, we will travel through the high Anti-Atlas Mountains, the Draa Valley with its palm groves, and the Berber village of Agdz. Crossing these three places will take the rest of the day, and we’ll be able to enjoy an incredible sunset in the Draa Valley with its thousands of palm trees, while taking a camel ride through the sand dunes. Afterward, we’ll go to our camp so you can experience the feeling of sleeping under the stars in  the Sahara Desert .

Day 2:Zagora – Ouarzazate – Marrakech

The next day, we’ll wake up very early for a camel ride to watch the sunrise over the Zagora dunes. After sunrise, we’ll return to the village and enjoy a traditional Moroccan breakfast. Then, we’ll depart for  Ouarzazate , where we’ll visit  the Kasbah of Tifoultout  before lunch. From there, we’ll continue our journey back to Marrakech via the  Tizi n’Tichka pass . You’ll arrive at your hotel or  riad in Marrakech  in the late afternoon, thus ending your trip where it began.

FAQ’S :

What is the meeting point?

We pick you up at your accommodation indicated in the reservation, around 7:30 am

What to pack in your luggage?

It depends on the time of year you visit us, in winter the weather is cold in Morocco and especially in the desert at night, so check first on a weather page to know better and exactly for the days you will be here, in early summer, let’s say from May to September, As we know, this country reaches 35-40 degrees, so you should choose your clothes as if you were having a direct trip to the beach. And you can even add to your list of trips to visit our beaches such as Essaouira, Agadir, Tangier, White House just to mention a few of them, we have daily tours available.

Which route should you select?

The excursion to Zagora is for those who visit the country for a couple of days and do not want to miss the opportunity to see once the dunes, in Zagora the dunes are much smaller than Merzouga but no less beautiful, the two of them have the magic of the desert and the logistics until we reach Ouarzazate is the same as it is the same road, on this first and only night tour you will sleep in the desert camp of Zagora.

The Merzouga tour, as it is further away than Zagora, is offered as a 3 days tour the first night is in Dades Georges and the second night you will sleep in the Merzouga camp.

On the fence to book the private or shared tour?

The Sahara desert tour from Marrakech is offered as shared, which means that you will be accompanied by 16 more travelers from all over the world, the languages spoken by the driver are English and the local languages.

The private tour we offer can be with a driver who speaks Spanish, English or French, depending on availability (if you need another language, you can ask us). The tour is done only with the people traveling with you, the minimum is 2 people, but we can also make an exception if you are just a traveler and an additional amount will be added.

Traveling alone?

There are some taboos that we hear sometimes from different countries and stories that we don’t know if they are true or not, but I will recommend that if you have the opportunity to travel alone to this country, it is something you should do! There is nothing to worry about, especially if you are a woman, the only thing that can be uncomfortable is that a vendor is begging you to buy their products and nothing else, the city is full of tourists all year round and security especially takes care of tourism.
