Your journey begins in Marrakech with a drive towards the High Atlas Mountains. The road crosses the Tizi n’Tichka pass and reveals mountain scenery, valleys and traditional villages. Your driver can make stops along the way for photographs and views, depending on the schedule and road conditions.

Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a historic fortified village known for its traditional earthen architecture. Walk through its narrow lanes and explore the old settlement. The route then passes Ouarzazate before following the landscapes of the Draa Valley. Palm groves, villages and dry hills gradually introduce the scenery of southern Morocco.

Arrive in Zagora in the afternoon or evening. Depending on your booking, enjoy a desert-related experience and spend the night in local accommodation or a desert camp. This first day combines mountain roads, cultural heritage and the changing landscapes of the south.

Day 2: Zagora, Draa Valley and Return to Marrakech

After breakfast, begin the return journey to Marrakech. The route follows the Draa Valley, an area known for its palm groves, traditional settlements and dry landscapes. Along the way, you can observe the transition between desert scenery, mountain terrain and inhabited areas.

Stops may be arranged during the drive, depending on the available time and your interests. Enjoy panoramic views and discover villages that reflect everyday life in southern Morocco. Your driver will adapt the route to traffic, road conditions and the agreed itinerary.
