Day 1: Marrakech to Zagora
Our journey begins in the heart of Marrakech, where we whisk you away on a scenic drive south. Wind your way through the dramatic High Atlas Mountains, passing by Berber villages clinging to the slopes. Marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified kasbah that’s served as a backdrop for countless movies.
Continuing our journey, we traverse the Draa Valley, a fertile oasis teeming with palm groves. As the sun dips low, you’ll go on a captivating camel trek across the golden dunes, arriving at your luxurious desert camp just in time for sunset.
Day 2: Zagora to Ouarzazate
After a restful night under the star-studded sky, enjoy a delicious breakfast at the camp before setting off on a camel ride back to civilization. Head towards Ouarzazate, also known as «Hollywood of Morocco» for its bustling film studios. Here, you have the option to explore the Taourirt Kasbah, a stunning example of Berber architecture.
