Take a look at the 2 days zagora desert tour from Marrakech to Marrakech via Erg chiggaga to get a feel for what your journey could look like.

Day 1: Marrakech – Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah – Ouarzazate – Zagora on the 2 Days Zagora Desert Tour from Marrakech

Your 2 Days Zagora Desert Tour to Marrakech will start at a very early time and this will be the time when your driver will come to your convenience to collect you at your hotel or riad. The tour immediately runs through the beautiful High Atlas Mountains passing the Tizi n’Tichka pass, which is above 2,260 meters. This winding highway offers amazing panoramic scenes of the mountains, valleys and the classical Berber villages that are in the hillsides. We also have several points of stops during which we take you ample time to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.

The next stage after going through the mountain passage would be the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO world heritage site and the location of numerous well-known movies. You will explore the ancient earthen city, you will learn about its special architecture and ancient history. After lunch, you proceed to the Draa Valley, a spectacular river valley that has thousands of palm trees that make an interesting contrast against the arid aesthetics. You finally get to Zagora where you will have your sunset Camel Ride in Merzouga (Zagora) to begin your adventure in the desert.

The 2 Days Zagora Desert Tour starting in Marrakech, this first day, is an effective exploration of landmarks in geography and culture. The short ZAGORA Tour of the Moroccan Desert represents the diversity of the area; the movement between the bustling city of Marrakech and the silent Draa Valley. As such, the camel riding activity at Zagora is an ideal way to conclude the long day travel.

Day 2: Zagora – Ouarzazate – Marrakech on the 2 Days Zagora Desert Tour from Marrakech

You are rising earlier than the sunrise to bask in the silence of the prestige of the desert and then you take a brief camel ride through Zagora to view the sunrise. You will be hiking up one of the dunes and watch the sky turn its color out of deep blue, to bright orange and gold- a very memorable beginning of your day. After another special Berber breakfast, you sit back comfortably to resume the road back to Marrakech. This is a scenic drive which gives the second opportunity to see the beautiful landscapes of Draa Valley and the Anti-Atlas mountains.

We will briefly pass by Ouarzazate which is referred to as the Hollywood of Africa due to the presence of movie studios. It is here that you will find another picturesque historical place with movie ties: the Taourirt Kasbah. During our trip back to Marrakech, we go through the High Atlas Mountains once again. That 2 Days Zagora Desert Tour of Marrakech then starts to draw to an end when we drive you back through the mountains on a final trip and leave you comfortably at your hotel or at the airport.

Day 2 guarantees that the entire desert experience is had (sunrise and breakfast) and that the long scenic journey back has begun. The road can make a brief stop at Ouarzazate, ensuring the high level of sightseeing that is the hallmark of this morocco desert tour. Moreover, the last stage of the crossing of the High Atlas Mountains is a dramatic end to this memorable Morocco tours plan.
