Private 3-day desert tour from Marrakech: Telouet kasbah, Aït Ben Haddou, the Ouarzazate film studios, the palm groves of the Draa valley and a night in a camp near Zagora.
Kasbahs, palm groves and your first Saharan landscapes: this 3-day private tour is the ideal introduction to the Moroccan desert when time is short. After crossing the High Atlas over the Tizi n’Tichka pass, you visit the kasbah of Telouet and the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, then the film studios of Ouarzazate. On day two the road follows the Draa valley, one of the longest palm groves in Morocco, down to Zagora: a camel or 4x4 ride, sunset over the dunes and a night in a desert camp. The essence of southern Morocco, at your own pace and with your own private driver.
