Step by Step

This 2-day tour from Marrakech takes you along one of the most iconic routes in southern Morocco. You'll begin your adventure crossing the majestic High Atlas Mountains, with spectacular views and photo stops. The first highlight will be the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified enclave of great historical and cinematographic value, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After visiting Ait Ben Haddou and a break in Ouarzazate, the "Gateway to the Desert", you will continue on to the Draa Valley and the town of Zagora. There, camels will be waiting for you for an unforgettable ride through the dunes until you reach the desert camp, where you will be welcomed with a traditional dinner and a starry sky like no other.

The next day, you will experience another magical moment: a sunrise camel ride through the Sahara dunes. After a typical Berber breakfast, you will head back to Marrakech, crossing the landscapes of southern Morocco again, with multiple stops for photos and lunch.

    Surprise stop at an abandoned kasbah in the Draa, photos that seem to be from another era; Morocco never fails.
