If you’ve only got a couple of days but still want a real taste of the Sahara, this 2 day desert tour from Marrakech to Zagora is perfect. Think mountain views, winding roads, camels, campfires, and one incredible night sleeping under the stars.
You’ll leave Marrakech early in the morning, driving through the beautiful High Atlas Mountains — they’re packed with tiny Berber villages and breathtaking views at every turn. Your first big stop is Aït Benhaddou, a legendary UNESCO kasbah that’s been used in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. You’ll wander through its ancient streets, soak up the history, and maybe grab lunch nearby before continuing toward the desert.
The drive through the Draa Valley is seriously something else — endless palm groves, mud-brick villages, and kasbahs that look like they haven’t changed in centuries. When you reach Zagora, you’ll meet your camel caravan and head into the dunes just as the sun begins to set. It’s one of those moments that makes you stop and think, “Wow, this is really happening.”
At night, you’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner at your Sahara camp, listen to Berber drumming around the fire, and stargaze like never before. Travelers often say the silence of the desert is their favorite part — it’s peaceful, humbling, and totally unforgettable. The next morning, you’ll catch the sunrise, have breakfast, and head back to Marrakech feeling like you’ve lived a mini desert dream.
If you’re looking for things to do in Marrakech beyond the souks and the city walls, this 2 day desert tour from Marrakech to Zagora should be at the top of your list. It’s short, easy to fit into your schedule, and filled with unforgettable moments — mountains, camels, sunsets, and stories you’ll tell for years.

Start your 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Zagora
The adventure starts bright and early with pickup from your hotel or riad. You’ll climb into the Atlas Mountains, passing through winding roads, local cafés, and scenic viewpoints. Don’t forget your camera — the landscapes are unreal.
After a couple of hours, you’ll reach Aït Benhaddou, a centuries-old mud-brick fortress where movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator were filmed. Stroll through its maze-like alleys, grab lunch, and continue south through the Draa Valley, famous for its palm groves and ancient kasbahs.
By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Zagora, where your camels are waiting. The sunset ride across the sand dunes is pure magic — the light, the silence, the warm breeze — it’s everything you imagine a Sahara moment to be. Once at camp, settle into your tent, sip mint tea, enjoy dinner, and relax around the fire as the stars fill the sky.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the desert — totally worth it. After breakfast, hop back on your camel for a short ride to the meeting point, where your driver will be waiting. You’ll drive through Ouarzazate, known as Morocco’s “Hollywood,” with an optional stop to check out the film studios or Taourirt Kasbah. Expect to be back in Marrakech by late afternoon, with sand in your shoes and a smile you can’t shake.
Not at all! It’s the perfect quick escape — just long enough to experience the desert without losing too much travel time.
Yes, they’re slow and scenic. The guides are super attentive, and the camels are gentle and well-trained.
Bring comfy shoes, a light jacket, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small backpack, and your camera. You’ll want to capture every view.
Yep! Most camps in Zagora have shared bathrooms with showers and toilets — simple but clean.
Absolutely. Just let your guide know in advance, and they’ll make sure the camp cooks have you covered.
