About 2 Days 1 Night Zagora Desert Private Tour from Marrakech
This 2 days Zagora desert private tour from Marrakech is the perfect short Sahara getaway for travelers who want to enjoy the desert without very long driving days. Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech and take you across the beautiful High Atlas Mountains through the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass.

After visiting Ait Ben Haddou, continue to Ouarzazate, the Gateway to the Sahara, before driving through the spectacular Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest river oasis filled with palm groves, kasbahs, and traditional villages.

You will spend the night in a luxury desert camp in Zagora with a private tent, ensuite bathroom, hot shower, dinner, Berber music, and a magical night under the stars. The next morning, enjoy sunrise in the desert and return to Marrakech through the Draa Valley, Ouarzazate, and the Atlas Mountains with flexible stops along the way.
