2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech to Zagora with Camel Ride

About the Activity

What to Expect

Set off to discover the desert and breathtaking landscapes on the way to Zagora with our two-day excursion departing from Marrakesh. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through the stunning High Atlas Mountains, where winding roads and towering peaks promise an awe-inspiring start to your trip. Along the way, enjoy a stop at the magnificent Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you will have time to explore the ancient, fortified village that has been the backdrop for many famous films.

After soaking in the history, continue your journey to the lush Agdez Oasis and travel through the picturesque Draa Valley, known for its palm groves and traditional Berber villages. Arrive in Zagora, where an unforgettable experience awaits: a camel ride through the golden dunes. As the sun sets, you will reach your desert camp for the night. Here, indulge in a delicious traditional dinner and relax in your private tent under a canopy of stars.

Wake up to the serene beauty of the desert at sunrise and enjoy another camel ride back over the dunes, a perfect way to start your day. Then, make your return journey to Marrakesh, taking with you memories of stunning landscapes, cultural landmarks, and the unique charm of the Moroccan desert.
