ITINERARY FOR PRIVATE 2-DAY TOUR FROM MARRAKECH TO ZAGORA DESERT:
Day 1: Marrakech· Ouarzazate · Zagora
We will come to pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech promptly at 8.30 in the morning. Ouarzazate, which is well-known for its film industry, may be reached by traversing the southern edge of the Atlas Mountains. The Draa Valley and the port of Ait Saoun are two of the places that we visit en route to the desert of Zagora. After arriving in Zagora, we travel to the tent camp via camel and spend the night in the camp with a meal and live music
Day 2: Zagora · Ait Ben Haddou · Marrakech
On the second day of the trip, as we make our way back to Marrakech, we go over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tichka Pass, which is one of the highest routes in all of Morocco, and take in the splendour of the Berber towns along the way. Because it is the adobe castle in all of Morocco that is in the best state of preservation and because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou is an absolute need to see. In addition, during our time in the Draa Valley, we travel to the Oulad Othmane Kasbah. In addition, before we wrap things up, we drive across the valley for a quick overview. After that, we will drop you off at your accommodations in Marrakech at roughly 7:00 p.m., and then we will say our goodbyes.
Note: It is recommended to bring a backpack and a change of clothes, as suitcases are not allowed on this journey.
