Tour Plan

Day 1: Ouarzazate – Agdz – Draa Valley – Zagora

Your 3-day desert tour begins with a morning pickup in Ouarzazate. First, we head to the Taourirt Kasbah, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved kasbahs in Morocco. Continuing along the Draa Valley, with its palm groves and old traditional Berber villages, on the route is the town of Agdz, which nestles within the valley. Stop for lunch in one of the villages. During the afternoon, we will drive to continue to Zagora, a city considered as the Sahara Gate. We will arrive and change camels to start an unforgettable journey through the sand dunes. At sunset, we will be reaching your desert camp, having dinner and night under stars in a traditional Berber tent.

Day 2: Explore Zagora Desert – Tamegroute – Nomad Villages

Then, an early breakfast is followed by the possibility of an in-depth exploration of the desert surroundings. A close-by village, Tamegroute, is well known for its ancient Quranic library and traditional pottery and is always worth a visit. You will also see nomadic villages where you will get the opportunity to learn about the lifestyle of the local Berber people. In the afternoon, take some free time to relax in the peaceful desert landscape-or participate in optional activities such as sandboarding. Enjoy the evening desert sunset, then return to the camp for another amazing night in the starlit sky.

Day 3: Zagora – Draa Valley – Ouarzazate

On the last day, we will leave the Zagora desert after having breakfast and drive back via the Draa Valley. Admire the landscapes of palm groves and Kasbahs while en-route to Ouarzazate. We'll have lunch on the road and continue discovering the rest of the hidden charms of the valley. In the afternoon, we'll reach Ouarzazate, where we end this tour and drop you off at your accommodation or airport.
