Itinerary
Day 1 includes MARRAKECH, the Tizi n’Tichka Atlas Mountains, AIT BEN HADDOU KASBAH, ZAGORA, a camel ride, and an overnight stay at a desert camp.
Through the Tizi n’Tichka pass of the High Atlas Mountains ( 2260 m). On the mountainside, you will see Berber and traditional villages, and you will stop frequently to take pictures of the spectacular landscapes until we reach Ouarzazate, also known as “the Hollywood of Morocco,” where we will stop for lunch at the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah and then visit Taourirt Kasbah before continuing to the Zagora Desert. We will then travel to Agdz and the date-palm-filled Dra’a Valley. We’ll continue going until we reach Zagora, where your camels are ready for you to begin your camel Desert Experience tour. After that, you’ll spend the night in a Berber Desert tent.
Day 2: Back To Marrakech through Zagora, Agdez, and Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains
After watching the sunrise, we get back on the camels. Then, after breakfast and a shower, we’ll begin the trip back to Marrakech. On the way, we’ll stop at the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah. Then, after visiting it and eating lunch, we’ll continue on to cross the High Atlas Mountains via the country’s highest road pass (Tizni Tichka, 2260 M), which offers breathtaking views of nearby Berber villages and valleys. Arrive at Marrakech before sunset, where the journey comes to an end.
Note:
This 2 days tour to Zagora desert doesn’t offer a real experience of the desert, if more time available in your schedule so we recommend 3 or 4 days to Erg Chebbi desert for more enjoyable desert trip.
If you’re into astrophotography and want to take some amazing photos of the Milky Way, I’d definitely choose Merzouga over Zagora as the stars there are truly incredible and worth the 3-day trek .
How far away is Zagora desert from Marrakech?
There are 355 kilometers between Marrakech and the Zagora Desert (220 Miles). Driving via the High Atlas Mountains, Ouarzazate, and Agdz Village from Marrakech to Zagora takes roughly 7 hours. If you include in stops for lunch, coffee, and sightseeing, the process will take longer.

We had and amazing time! junny2024-11-05Verified Best ever 5 Days desert tour from Marrakech It is impossible to express how much we enjoyed our trip to Morocco, which is mostly due to Mohamed. By the end of our trip, our three children, ages seven, nine, and eleven, were all enamored with Moha. On the trip, my daughter turned ten, and he bought gifts for every child! He even managed to procure my kid a cake in the Sahara desert with her name on it! Very safe driving and excellent communication. He was really understanding and listened to what we wanted to do. Definitely going to tell others about Sahara Gate Tours. It really could not have been better in any aspect. Jarmila R2023-11-06Verified Amazing The trip was amazing.

Nos acompaño Moha, un genio de esas personas que la vida te pone en tu camino y parece que la conoces de toda la vida. Marruecos es una tierra de leyendas, es mi segunda vez en el destino lo recomiendo absolutamente. Todos los servicios que nos ofreció la empresa sorprendió nuestras espectativas. Nos dedicamos a la actividad turística en patagonia por eso es que hablo con conocimiento del tema, realmente sorprendente. Párrafo aparte la experiencia en el desierto del Sahara, es una película.
