Itinerary

No visit to Morocco is complete without having seen the beauty of the Sahara desert. If you have just 2 days, but would like to see as much as possible, this is the perfect tour for you!

Tour program

Day 1

Marrakech - Draa Valley - Zagora - Mhamid - Erg Lihoudi

This memorable trip starts with the scenic drive from Marrakech over the Tizi-N-Tichka pass (2’260 m), where you can spot the traditional Berber villages with its inhabitants working and chatting at the roadside. 

Shortly before the desert capital Ouarzazate, you have the opportunity to visit the famous Kasbah Aït-Ben-Haddou, the fortified clay city with its numerous Ksars and Kasbahs, where several famous movies such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven and Prince of Persia have been shot. Enjoy a guided visit with a local guide.

After crossing the vast Anti-Atlas mountains, you arrive at the green and peaceful Draa Valley which is famous for its huge date groves and henna fields.

Now it is time for the desert! Zagora is the last city before the real wilderness starts. 

Along the way, we stop at a Saadian town of the 16th century which is called Tamegroute. There, we are able to visit an old coran library and a subterranean Kasbah. Upon arrival at the dunes of Erg Lihoudi, you’ll meet your camel driver and head to the desert on top of your friendly camel while the sun sinks below the horizon. Just before dark, you will arrive at the Sahara Desert Camp where you can settle in your private berber tent. A traditional dinner is served and you can spend the night watching for shooting stars or dance around the camp fire to the beat of the desert drums.

Day 2

Erg Lihoudi - Mhamid - Tamegroute -Zagora - Ait Ben Haddou - Telouet - Marrakech

Today, you can get up early to enjoy the first rays of sunlight over the desert. Enjoy your breakfast in the camp and hop on your 4x4 for the ride back to civilization. On our way back through the Draa Valley in direction Marrakech we’ll stop in Ouarzazate for lunch and sightseeing in the Kasbah Taourirt or in the movie museum. The city of Ouarzazate with its film making studios hosts a lot of international film productions and is also known as «Hollywood of Morocco». After leaving Ouarzazate, you take a detour to the bizzare Telouet Kasbah which once belonged to the great Glaoui family and has a stratetic position with a fantastic view. Nowadays, it is fast crumbling into the red earth, but still an extraordinary site to visit. Afterwards, we’re heading back to Marrakech and your Hotel/Riad over the Atlas Mountains. Evening arrival in Marrakech and end of your tour.
