Day 1:Marrakech Ait Ben Haddou Ouarzazate Agdez Zagora:
Our Zagora desert tour starts at 8:00 AM, our driver will come to pick you up from your Riad or hotel in Marrakech in a comfortable air-conditionned 4×4 car or minivan. We leave the ochre city behind and drive south-east crossing many small and dispersed villages on our way. After about a 100 kilometers, we start to go up as we reach the chain of the Atlas mountains and the highest pass in the chain Tizi N-Tichka (2160m), the pass is usually coverd in snow during winter time.We will stop in one of the teraces in Tichka to stretch our legs, maybe grab a cup of coffee to fully wake up. After the pass, we cross several berber villages again, perched in the mountains and hills. The scenery on the road changes frequently leaving no room for boredom. Arriving to Ouarzazate (~90 kilometers from Tichka pass), we will stop to visit the beautiful Kasbah of Taourirt (home to former Caid Pacha Glaoui) and the museum of Cinema as Ouarzazate is a noted film-making location, it has two huge film studios inviting some of the big international experts of the industry of cinema to work there. After Visiting the attractions of Ouarzazate, we will drive again through the beautiful valleys for another 90 kilometers to reach Agdez and appreciate the view of its palmeraie from a high point. Then just after a couple of turns, our lunch place awaits, a nice Kasbah in Tamnougalt, to get there, we take a little detour from the main the road and cross a river then drive inside the fields. The Kasbah has a nice terrace looking at the palm grove and sunny enough to warm you up on cold days. After lunch, we continue our desert trip to the city of Zagora, where the camels await you at the end of the paved road, to take you to the bivouac in the dunes just in time to witness the majestic sunset and take memorable photos. Once you arrive at the bivouac of Zagora desert, you are welcomed by the staff, given your tents and gather for a mint tea session to get to know eachother and break the ice with other comers. The night in the desert camp has a clear sky and you can see countless stars and easyli distinguish the constellations. After a nice home made dinner, we gather around fire to enjoy a session of singing, dancing and laughing around fire, share beautiful moments and forget the world.

Day 2:Zagora Draa valley Agdez Ouarzazate Tizi N Ticha Marrakech:
The second day of Zagora desert trip starts with an early breakfast, so you don’t miss the awesome sunset Zagora has to offer, another opportunity to take beautiful pictures. Then Ride the camels back to meet the car at the end of the paved road. Leave Zagora behind and head straight back to the fortified village of Ait benhaddou, where you will have lunch, before exploring the site, declared by the UNESCO as a world heritage site. The village is known as a backdrop for many cinematographic works, the most famous ones are ‘The gladiator’, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ and even some scenes of the classi ‘Game of thrones’ were shot in this village. Seven families still live in the old village of Ait benhaddou, the rest have moved to the other side of the valley, a more modern side. Ksar Ait benhaddou was a pausing station for the caravanes traveling along the Ounila valley, the merchants either exchange goods here and go back to the desert, or pause to rest then continue to Marrakech, they used to trade salt, silver and slaves. After visiting the Ksar of Ait benhaddou, we will take the road back to Marrakech, to arrive there at around 6 or 7pm, where your driver will drop you at the location of your choice.
Tour Reviews
I never thought that a travel agency could provide such thoughtful service. Before the epidemic, I traveled every year. Now I know what a real tour guide is. Travel agencies, if possible, hope that each country has their branches. Thank you Tilia Travel
It was amazing desert trip. Mohammed our guide tour was fantastic.
The camp in sahara was great.
Everything was good 👍
I really enjoyed the trip.
Tilila Travel was the best
We went for a two-day trip from Marrakech to the desert next to Tinfou in the south of Zagora. Mohamed, picked us up in time and welcomed us very warmly 🙂 During the whole trip, he provided us with information and showed us the most beautiful spots – which are not always the most touristic ones 😉 Moreover, he took care of us in every situation and made us laughing repeatedly by jokes and singing. Over all, highly recommended!
We highly appreciate your efforts and support, Mohamed! Thank you very much and we’re looking forward to seeing you again!

An eventful 2-day desert tour, thanks to our guide and co-director, Mohamet. He designed the long drives over the Atlas Mountains with some stops, entertaining, informative and very personal. The two brothers in the desert camp were also very nice and accommodating. After dinner we sat together around the campfire, had a lot of fun and were entertained with typical Moroccan music.
Equipment: new air-conditioned minibus, the camp with beds in the sleeping tents, a large communal tent for eating and separate sanitary tent, lots of seating around the fireplace.
This 2-day tour with our guide Mohamed was terrific. Mohamed has given us on the way over the Atlas Mountains to the Zagora desert very many interesting info about the country and its people. Through several short stops, the longer car ride was very entertaining and scenic incredibly beautiful. Mohamed always responded to our personal wishes and has always ensured that we were well and lacked nothing. After the drive, a comfortable camp at the edge of the desert awaited us, where we received a very warm welcome. A camel ride through the desert, as well as a delicious dinner with traditional music made the evening perfect and unforgettable. In the morning early at sunrise we could enjoy another tour with on the camels through the desert and even walk through the desert dunes and climb the desert ridge. Upon our return, a heartily prepared breakfast awaited us. The return trip to Marrakech was again very entertaining and informative due to several short stops, among others at the Atlas Corporation Studios. We can only recommend this tour with Mohamed. We experienced Mohamed as an open-minded, fun-loving and funny person with a very cordial manner, with whom we felt well and safe at all times. Mohamed – Thank you very much for everything.

We booked a 2-days desert trip to Zagora and have been so lucky with our driver Khalid from Tilila tours. He made our trip so pleasant even if it took us the whole day to reach Zagora. At the end the views, stops at local berber markets and pottery shops as well as training centers for women in difficult life situations, great tajine restaurants and so much more made our trip much more pleasant than the desert stay itself! We didn‘t expect that and are extremely grateful to Khalid with his extraordinary social skills and cultural knowledge for making us explore Marocco far away from Marrakech allthrough the beathtaking Atlas mountains! We can strongly recommend if you really want to discover Marocco to go on such a trip and ask Tilila Tours to get Khalid as your driver. You will not regret a single second of the time you spend with him. He will share everything he knows about his country with you! Thank you Khalid! Ingrid with Anna and Simon
