In the morning after having breakfast we will collect in your Riad/Hotel early as we expect a very interesting day full of culture, we take the direction of Ouarzazate crossing the mountain pass Tizi n’Tichka at 2260 meters of altitude, which unites Marrakech with the city of Ouarzazate through the High Atlas and that is the main route of highest mountain in North Africa.
The first stop will be in Kasbah Ait Benhaddou (UNESCO Heritage Site) and well known for the filming of many famous movies such as Gladiator, Obelix etc…. Our route continues toward the Draa Valley (the largest in Morocco), where at every step of the route we will be able to enjoy the thousands of kasbahs that are there during the journey.
In the middle of the afternoon we arrive at the door of the desert of Zagora, where we will leave the 4×4 and we will ride the dromedaries that will carry us through the desert to spend the night in tent in the middle of nowhere, there we will have dinner and sleep, but before sleeping we will be able to enjoy the tranquility and the blanket of stars that the desert offers us.

 

Day 2: Zagora – Ouarzazate – Kasbah of Taourirt – Marrakech

We will get up early to be able to contemplate the beautiful dawn that the desert offers us and ride our camels back to the riad for a good shower and a typical breakfast Moroccan.
Our route continues to visit the village of Tamegrout; known for its green ceramics and its narrow streets that make it a labyrinth of tunnels.

We will continue our tour to the Draa Valley and the Oasis of Tamnougalt, we arrive at the village of Agdz (famous for its Kasbah) and then we will continue our route arriving late in the evening in Marrakech where you leave in your Riad/ Hotel.
