Private 2-Day Desert Trip from Marrakech to Zagora
This private 2-day, 1-night desert tour from Marrakech to Zagora offers an unforgettable experience, including a camel ride and an overnight stay in a luxury desert camp amidst the small dunes of Zagora. The journey takes you across the High Atlas Mountains, with stops at the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, Ouarzazate, and the stunning Draa Valley, passing through the scenic Anti-Atlas Mountains.
If you have more time in Marrakech, we highly recommend the 3-day desert tour to Merzouga, where you can experience the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi. While Zagora does not have large sand dunes, it remains a great option for those with limited time. You’ll still enjoy the magical desert sunset, a beautiful sunrise, and an authentic night in the Zagora desert camp with dinner, breakfast, and lively Berber music around the campfire.
