Full description

Live the life of a Berber on a 2-day desert safari to Zagora and the Draa Valley from Marrakech. Experience the shifting sand dunes on the back of a camel, sleep under a canopy of stars, and follow in the footsteps of Hollywood royalty on a visit to the world heritage village of Ait Ben Haddou.

Day 1: Marrakech - Zagora

Following an early morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, drive across the High Atlas Mountains en route to Ouarzazate, where you will stop for lunch at your leisure.

Continue to the oasis of Agdez, before driving through the date and palm trees of the Draa Valley. Marvel at the fortified Kasbahs along the way. Upon arrival at Zagora, meet your camel caravan and ride a camel over the sand dunes as you watch the sunset paint the desert sands.

Then, transfer to your Sahara Desert camp just before dark. Settle into your private tent, and enjoy some free time to explore the surrounding desert scenery. Dinner will be served under the stars while your nomad hosts entertain you around a campfire with the beat of their tamtam drums.

Day 2: Zagora - Marrakech

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.

Fab trip, it is a long journey which you need to prepared for and the camel ride can be quite physical without you realising. Hospitality and environment, food etc at Berber Camp excellent. Was very comfortable & welcoming. Only thing that let the whole experience down was the taking to restaurants on the journey to and from that do not allow you to chose what & how much you want to eat. A 3 course meal at a set price of 120/130MAD pp is not required or acceptable to be forced to take. On both occasions as a small group we managed to find something else at a quarter of the price after a battle with staff!! The description of the trip states you will have free time to chose - this is not the case

We had a wonderful trip to Zagora, definitely one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Our driver Mohammed was absolutely amazing, he was always smiling and happy to accommodate whatever we wanted, including joining us in group activities and posing for photos! We can’t recommend Mohamed enough!! Our host Aziz was also extremely helpful, and even helped us arrange transport after our tour twice, despite us no longer being under his care. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions readily. One point of confusion was the lack of information provided before the tour, we had an email sent the day before the tour but an itinerary with the timeline and all activities planned for the first day would have been helpful. We also felt pressured by our host Hassan at Ait Benhaddou to purchase from his families store, who grossly overcharged us. Our hosts at the campsite were wonderful, happily chatted with us, and the accommodation and food was excellent.

Amazing experience. Totally worth-it, the comeback to Marrakesh is at 7pm of the 2nd day. You pay 3€ to a guide at Ben Haddou and have the chance to buy a scarf for the desert if you want to for 12€. They usually expect tips. The experience at the camp it incredible and I couldn’t recommend it more!
