The two-day desert excursion from Marrakech to Zagora, complete with a camel ride at sunset, is our most sought-after itinerary. This short but immersive desert journey is ideal for those who want a taste of the desert but are short on time. You’ll have the chance to trek on camels, spend a night in a tent, and enjoy the unique beauty of the rocky Zagora desert, which is quite different from the sand dunes of the Erg Chegaga or Erg Chebbi in the Sahara. The tour also includes crossing the high Atlas Mountains, marvelling at the spectacular views of the Draa Valley and its palm groves, and visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites.
