4 DAYS PRIVATE DESERT TOUR FROM MARRAKECH

DAY 1 : MARRAKECH – KASBAH AIT BEN HADDOU – ZAGORA DESERT

 6 HOURS DRIVE

You will be picked up from your hotel in Marrakech around 08.00 am for a 08.15 am departure. The private desert tour will take place using a modern, air-conditioned minibus or a 4 x 4 vehicle.

Our first day is spent visiting the World Heritage site of the six Kasbahs at Ait Ben Haddou, we then take in the film set sights of Ouarzazate. From here, we take a road through the Draa Valley and end up in Zagora at some point during the late afternoon.

The first day’s highlight is yet to come as we take a 50-minute camel ride to our overnight desert stay within a Berber camp. Here, one can enjoy the sunset, sit around a bonfire and grab an opportunity to sleep in a Berber tent or underneath the stars.

DAY 2: ZAGORA – TAZARINE – MERZOUGA

 6 HOURS DRIVE

The second day begins with a traditional nomad breakfast and a chance to admire the sunrise. Then it’s back on the camels for our ride back to Zagora. We then drive south east across the Anti Atlas mountains. Will stop for lunch at Alnif oisis along the way to Merzouga. This is the town we head for next, and at this point there will be another chance to ride camels and sleep under the stars in the desert at a Berber camp.

Day two involves a camel trek across the Dunes of Erg Chebbi, on the outskirts of Merzouga. The dunes at sunrise and sunset are quite amazing. These wind-swept sands form a sea of undulating sandy hills where the only sights to see are camel caravans gracefully and effortlessly negotiating the soft sandy hills. You will enjoy another evening meal and a chance to sleep under the stars.
