2 days desert tour from Marrakech to M’hamid el Ghizlan

• Zagora

2 days desert tour from Marrakech to M’hamid el Ghizlan is the best option to visit the desert and the dunes, even though it doesn’t compare to Merzouga or Chegaga dunes, it’s still a lot better than Zagora, apart from the awesome attractions all along the road to M’hamid, you can actually see relatively big dunes and appreciate a wonderful sunset and sunrise and enjoy a beautiful atmosphere with the nomads.

The tour takes you from the metropolitan city of Marrakech to the perched berber villages on the foothills of the mountains along the Atlas chain where the mountains change their color and form frequently making each and every corner of the road new to the eye. The road continues through beautiful small oases before arriving to the immense palm grove of the Draa valley. Once in zagora, the tour includes a camel ride for about 40 minutes during a majestic sunset to reach the nomad tents in the bivouac behind the hills. On the way back during the second day of Zagora tour, you have the opportunity to visit many attractions on the road, including the beautiful kasbahs in Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou and some cinematographic locations before heading back to Marrakech.
