Day 1: Marrakech to Zagora

Start with an early morning pickup from your Marrakech hotel or riad and travel through the High Atlas Mountains to Ouarzazate, where you can enjoy lunch at your own pace.

Proceed to the lush oasis of Agdez and then drive through the Draa Valley, admiring its fortified Kasbahs and palm groves. Once in Zagora, join your camel caravan for a mesmerizing sunset ride over the dunes.

Rise early for an optional desert sunrise, followed by breakfast. Mount your camel again for the journey back to the main road where your minibus awaits.

Your next stop is the World Heritage village of Ait Ben Haddou, recognizable from various Hollywood blockbusters. Take time to explore this iconic Kasbah and grab some lunch at your leisure, before making the scenic drive back to Marrakech.
