DAY 1 : MARRAKECH, KASBAH AIT BEN HADDOU, ZAGORA DESERT
7 HOURS DRIVE
The journey begins inside a modern air-conditioned minibus, should you come as part of a shared group, where we will head towards the Atlas Mountains. Our first port of call is at the Kasbah ait ben hadou.
This walled city actually is home to around six Kasbahs and you’ll be amazed at the ancient feel of the place. After our stop off at the Kasbah we will head to the city of Ouarzazate. Here you can witness the place where many Hollywood blockbuster films were shot. The Living Daylights, Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia, among others, have all seen the clapperboard in this city.
If the scheduler allows for it, we may also stop off at the Atlas Film Studios. There is a 8.00 euro entrance fee to the studios, which has not been included within the price. Entry to the studios is at your own discretion.
The afternoon is when we make our way through the Draa Valley. You will see a beautiful oasis and a stunning landscape that will have you taking photographs at regular points. At the end of this day we will meet up with our camels and ride to Zagora desert camp.
The Overnight Stay
The overnight stay in the Berber tents will include a sumptuous evening meal and breakfast in the morning. It is possible to upgrade your overnight accommodation to a luxury desert camp with shower.
