After the pass, you’ll reach Ait-Ben-Haddou, one of Morocco’s most iconic kasbahs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a famous film set for movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After a short visit, continue to the Draa Valley, known as the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs,” crossing lush oases, palm groves, and ancient adobe fortresses. Arrival in Zagora in the afternoon and camel ride to a desert camp, where a traditional dinner, live Berber music, and a night under the stars await you.

DAY 2

Zagora – Ouarzazate – Agdz – Marrakech

Early wake-up to witness the magical sunrise over the dunes, an unforgettable and peaceful moment. After breakfast at the camp, return by camel to Zagora and then drive north. Arrival in Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Morocco” for its film studios and the renowned Kasbah of Taourirt, a well-preserved architectural gem showcasing the region’s rich history. After the visit, continue through the village of Agdz, where the Draa Valley winds its way among mountains, palm groves, and ancient kasbahs.
