2-Day Zagora Desert Tour from Marrakech

2 Days 1 Night

for the 2-day Sahara desert tour to Zagora dunes. It sounds like a wonderful experience, especially for those who are short on time but still want to experience the beauty of the Sahara desert. The itinerary includes a variety of interesting stops, including Ait Benhaddou village, Ouarzazate, and the Draa Valley, which should provide a good overview of the region’s history and landscape. The camel ride and overnight stay in the nomadic tents sound like a great way to experience the desert, and seeing the sunrise over the dunes in the morning is sure to be a memorable moment. Overall, it seems like a well-rounded itinerary that offers a good balance of sightseeing and adventure.

If you want to experience very huge dunes, we have another 3 days Sahara Zagora desert tour from Marrakech.
