3Days Zagora Desert

If you’re looking to experience the magic of the Moroccan desert without venturing too far from Marrakech, our 3 Days Zagora Desert Excursion is the perfect option. This trip offers a mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation, giving you the chance to explore the stunning landscapes of southern Morocco while immersing yourself in the traditions of the Berber people who call this region home.

Your journey begins as we leave the bustling streets of Marrakech and travel through the High Atlas Mountains. As we ascend, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of rugged peaks, lush valleys, and terraced farmland. Along the way, we’ll stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, a famous kasbah that has been used as the backdrop for numerous films and TV shows, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Here, you’ll have time to explore the ancient village, wander through its narrow streets, and take in the impressive architecture that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

As we continue our journey toward Zagora, you’ll notice the landscape begin to change as the lush greenery of the mountains gives way to the rocky desert terrain. The drive itself is an adventure, with spectacular views around every corner as we pass through the Draa Valley, home to one of the longest rivers in Morocco and a lush oasis of palm groves.

Upon arrival in Zagora, you’ll meet your camel for a traditional desert trek. Riding a camel through the desert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will take you back to the days when nomads traversed these vast landscapes. The camels will carry you across the rocky dunes of the Zagora Desert, with the towering peaks of the Atlas Mountains in the distance and the wide-open skies above. The peaceful rhythm of the camel’s steps and the silence of the desert create a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find anywhere else.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll arrive at your desert camp, where you’ll spend the night under the stars. Our luxury desert camps offer all the comforts you need, including comfortable tents, traditional Moroccan meals, and hot showers. After a delicious dinner, you’ll gather around the campfire to enjoy traditional Berber music and storytelling. The clear desert skies offer unparalleled stargazing opportunities, making this an unforgettable night.

On the second day, you’ll continue your exploration of the Zagora region, visiting ancient kasbahs, small Berber villages, and beautiful oases. You’ll learn about the history and culture of the Berber people, who have lived in these harsh desert conditions for centuries. There’s also time for a guided hike or an optional quad biking adventure if you’re looking for a bit more excitement.

As your journey comes to an end on the third day, we’ll make our way back to Marrakech, stopping at panoramic viewpoints along the way to capture the stunning beauty of the desert and mountains.
