Itinerary
Departure at 07:30 from your hotel/Riad in Marrakech towards Zagora. On the way, we will cross the famous Tizi N’tichka pass at 2260 meters altitude where we will make a brief stop for you to take photographs and enjoy the views of Berber villages. Upon arrival at Kasbahs Ait Ben Haddou, a local guide will accompany you for a 1-hour walk, during which he will tell you the history of his village. Our advice here is to keep your eyes wide open and enjoy the paradisiacal landscapes around you, as you will be walking through a UNESCO World Heritage site that has served as the setting for multiple Hollywood movies like Gladiator or Lawrence of Arabia. After lunch, we will drive through the high Atlas mountains, the Draa Valley with its palm trees, and the Berber village of Agdez. Crossing these three places will take us the rest of the day, and we can enjoy an incredible sunset in the Draa Valley with its thousands of palm trees while taking a camel ride, and then arrive at our camp, in the middle of the dunes, under the stars in the desert.
The next day, we will wake up very early to watch the sunrise. After breakfast, we will head towards Ouarzazate where we will visit Kasbah Taurirt, then continue towards the Atlas mountains, have a lunch stop, then return to Marrakech via the Tizi N’tichka pass. You will arrive at your hotel or Riad in Marrakech in the afternoon around 6:00 p.m., ending the trip at the same point where it started. End of our services.
