2 Days Zagoura Desert Trip from Marrakech - Camel Trek - Berber Tent

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1High Atlas Mountains⌄

   Leaving Marrakech, we will travel through the High Atlas Mountains over the Tichka Pass, the highest road in Morocco at 2260 meter, traversing winding roads through Berber villages and lush valleys of fruit and nuts trees. There are plenty of opportunities for photos and refreshments.

   A visit to Morocco is incomplete without a visit to UNESCO's World Heritage site, Ait Ben Haddou, a beautifully preserved fortress on the old caravan road. A nice walk to the top affords panoramic vistas of the valley as far as the eye can see.

   The highlight of your trip! Located in the Draa Valley, we will arrive in time for a sunset camel trek to overnight camp in nomadic Berber tents. An evening of traditional music and entertainment with a fantastic dinner are included.

   Meals: Dinner: Traditional Moroccan cuisine provided in desert camp

   Overnight: Overnight in private Berber tent in desert camp

2. 2Return to Marrakech⌄

   Arise with the sun before your camel-back trek to rendezvous with your guide. Enjoy a nice breakfast and shower before returning to Marrakech. We will have a brief and lovely walk through parts of the longest valley in Morocco to break up our journey.

   Visit the home of Atlas Film Studios, dubbed the “Hollywood” of Africa. Films like Gladiator, Cleopatra, and Game of Thrones were filmed here. We will visit the Taourirt Kasbah built by the family who controlled access to the Atlas mountains in this region and later used by the French Legionnaire during French occupation 1912-1956.
