Day 1: Marrakech – Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou – Agdz – Zagora Desert
The tour departs from Marrakech around 07:30, passing through various Berber villages. Along the way, we stop in the middle of the High Atlas Mountains to take pictures, stretch our legs or have a cup of coffee.
Upon arrival at Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou, you will have some free time to explore the UNESCO World Heritage village, and its famous Kasbah, which has been used as a set for various Biblical epics as well as a backdrop for commercial and modeling photo shoots. If you wish to join the group on a guided tour, there is an extra fee of €3.00 euros per person for your local guide. After the visit to the Kasbah, you will have an hour’s lunch break at leisure.
From here, we will continue to drive past Ouarzazate and will cross the Northeastern parts of the Anti Atlas Mountains to the oasis of Agdz. After a quick stop in the village center, get ready to admire one amazing scenery after another driving along Draa Valley with its fortified Kasbahs and oases dotted with hundreds of thousands of dates palm trees. Draa Valley hosts the largest palm tree plantation in Morocco.
Upon arrival at Zagora desert late in the afternoon, we meet our camel caravans, and our camel trekking adventure will begin through Zagora desert while assisting to an amazing sunset for about an hour. Please kindly note that there are barely any sand dunes in Zagora.
Just before it gets dark, we drive our camels to our Berber desert camp nestled in the middle of nowhere. A delicious Moroccan dinner will be served tonight at your Bedouin camp. Right after dinner, get ready for a fantastic drum show and local music next to the campfire. Your local desert nomads hosts will be playing drums and singing local folklore music until around midnight. Feel free to learn about the star’s constellation or just enjoy the silence of the desert under the crystal clear skies.
