2 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech

Our Morocco Trips and Tours are available every day. Travel with Special Morocco Tours to explore the best of Sahara. We depart early in the morning and immediately witness some of the beauty that Morocco has to offer. You’ll be stunned by the valleys and hills as you travel 7400 feet up in your air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll quickly arrive at the ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, located along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. You may get the feeling that you’ve been here before; Ait Ben Haddou has served as the backdrop for films such as “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Time Bandits”, “Kundun”, “The Mummy”, and many more. While many families here now live in modern homes, you’ll get the chance to see why this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989. You’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant.

The day continues with a drive to Ouarzazate, home to film studios and famous scenery. You’ll pass through the inspiring Anti-Atlas Mountains (Tizi N Tnifift), as well as Agdz and the Draa valley, famous for its palm plantations. There are over 11 million palm trees in this area – truly a sight to behold. Upon arrival in Zagora, we’ll take a 1.5-hour camel ride to watch the sunset over the desert. You’ll sleep like a local in a Berber tent.

Today we wake early to experience the magic of a desert sunrise (optional). Then, enjoy breakfast before climbing back into the saddle of your camel for the ride back to the main road. Here, your minibus will be waiting to take you on a scenic drive to the world heritage village of Ait Ben Haddou. Instantly recognizable as the setting of various Hollywood epics, it’s also a popular backdrop for photo shoots with international fashion magazines and agencies. Explore the Kasbah at leisure, with some free time for lunch, before the picturesque drive back to Marrakech for an estimated drop-off at 6.30 pm. Special Morocco Tours team would like to thank you for our trust and we wish you a happy return back home.
