Your adventure begins with a 7:45 AM pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Leaving the city, your journey will take you to the High Atlas Mountains. The winding road through Tizi N'Pass'tichka has stunning views. It overlooks rugged peaks and remote Berber villages.
You will stop for refreshments and photos along the way. This will let you admire the beauty of the mountains. Next, you will arrive at Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. It's one of Morocco's most iconic historical sites.
This ancient walled village has striking mud-brick architecture. It has been the setting for many famous films and TV shows. You can take a guided tour to learn about the kasbah's history. It was once a vital stop for traders, and now it has cultural significance.
After a relaxing lunch, you'll drive through the Ouarzazate region. It's famous for its scenic film sets. The road then follows the Draa Valley. It is a vast area of lush palm trees. They stand in stark contrast to the surrounding desert. As the sun sets, you'll reach Zagora, a rocky, beautiful, and tranquil desert. Your day ends with a sunset camel ride. You can soak up the desert's serenity as the sky turns from fiery orange to deep purple.
The trek will take you to an overnight campsite. You can enjoy a traditional Berber dinner and music around a campfire, under a starry desert sky. The camp offers basic but comfortable facilities, including tents and shared bathrooms.
