About This Tour
The journey from Marrakech crosses the High Atlas through the Tizi n'Tichka pass, then continues past kasbahs, oases and red earth villages, with plenty of stops for photos and tea along the way.
Zagora is the gateway to the southern desert, known for its palm oasis, old kasbahs and the famous sign showing "52 days to Timbuktu" by camel. It is a great choice when you want a desert experience within a shorter travel time from Marrakech.
Over 2 days and 1 night, the itinerary balances time on the road with visits and moments to relax. Distances are planned so you arrive before dark whenever possible, and your driver is always ready to stop for a viewpoint, a coffee or a short walk.
Camels are gentle animals and the ride needs no experience. Wear comfortable clothes, wrap a scarf around your head like the locals do, and enjoy the rolling motion as the dunes turn gold around you.
Expect a warm welcome with mint tea on arrival, a spacious tent decorated with Berber rugs, a proper bed with fresh linen and a private bathroom with hot shower. Dinner is a feast of Moroccan dishes, and the night ends with drums and stories by the fire.
