Morocco Desert Dream: 2-Day Atlas, Camel Trek & Zagora Camp

We were picked up by our very attentive driver Kamal, who over the next two days did everything possible to make the journey as pleasant as possible. We had a small medical emergency on the way and it was no problem to stop for a few minutes and he even went into a pharmacy to get us an ointment. We had many stops to take pictures and always got small explanations for the landmarks. We also stopped for breakfast, lunch and tea, so the long drive is not uncomfortable as there are enough breaks. On the first day, the visit of the movieset is fine, not super interesting as you get pushed through pretty fast, but that probably depends on your guide. You'll also be strongly encouraged to buy a cloth for a turban (130 Dirham), which is nice for the experience, but in the end wasn't necessary for us. If you're sensitive to sand you should probably still get it. The camelride in the evening is very nice and you get to take nice pictures and also get a little accustomed to the ride. Long pants are not necessary, but will maybe make it a little more comfortable. The evening in the desert is very nice, you get greeted wirh tea and biscuits and spend some time talking and arriving, afterwards you have dinner, which is tajine and fruit, nothing special, but not bad at all. Later in the evening is a campfire with music and dancing which is very fun and you get to try the instruments as well. Afterwards we "hiked" up a sanddune and just spent some time looking at the lights and taking in the atmosphere. For motivated people you can also go look at the sunrise in the morning, but we didn't do that. The breakfast is a little lackluster, with bread that seems like leftovers from the day before and not a large selection, which is ok, but still a little dissapointing. The drive back was also good, we opted to skip the movie museum, which was no problem, so we arrived in marrakesh a little earlier. All in all it was a very nice and unique experience I would recommend

I just took a tour in southern Morocco with some truly stunning stops, and I highly recommend it! The views of the Atlas Mountains are breathtaking, and the visit to Aït-Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was both fascinating and full of history, even if the time there was a bit short. The stop in Ouarzazate was a great way to discover this charming town quickly. The long drive through Zagora’s desert landscapes was really captivating—a 9-hour stop that’s well worth it. The included dinner was delicious, and the comfortable accommodations made the experience even better.

Our driver Mohamed was amazing! He made us feel safe and constantly checked up on us. He was so kind and made us all laugh and smile even when we were very tired from the long drives. The trip was amazing and got to see so many amazing views and villages.

We both had an amazing time and I would highly recommend the trip. Our driver Abderrahman abbassi did a great job, with plenty of stops along with way. Helpful and plenty of places / stops to take photos, he knew the good spots. The camp was clean and the camels were very friendly. Everyone was helpful and made you feel at home. Would definitely recommend to family and friends to try.

Our driver and all the people we met on the way were very nice friendly and funny. We had a beautiful desert experience, saw many different things and got to enjoy the culture. Thank you very much!

Our driver Houssain Ford was amazing. The trip was awesome and he stopped at every panoramic point to let us have a view of the most beautiful stops on the way to the desert. He was so kind and friendly! His van was immaculate and he even cleaned again before picking us up after the night in the desert. If you want to live an amazing experience I highly recommend asking for Houssain! When we got to the desert of Zagora, a guy brought us with the camels to the camp: the camel ride was absolutely stunning. The camp was sensational and all the guys of the crew of the camp were amazing. Everybody was friendly and smiling. We definitely had a great time. If you want to live a real astonishing adventure, this safari is all you need.

The tour was incredible, Ajbli our guide was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly can't recommend this experience enough, a trip of a life time never to be forgotten. Thank you so much.

It’s so much driving. 6 hours each day, the first day you do a 1 hour camel ride at the end, and the 2nd day you only break for toilet along the way, there is nothing really to see besides the natural view. The driver was professional and this is not his fault at all, but it should be clearer how you basically will just spend 2 days in a car. The camp site is nice and service was good, but it’s more semi- desert than the actual Sahara. I’m a solo traveller and they put me with a family with 3 young kids and a couple.

Well organized. Good communication. And fantastic guide, driver, friend. Mohmad Amjif. We enjoyed long drive because Mohmad was telling stories, played arabic music, was very helpful, flexible and responsive. Desert camp was nice. Food good. Sunrise perfect. I could have stayed there longer

The two stops on the way there and back were interesting. Two long days sitting in a minibus, so not suitable for a short holiday. The Desert Camp was near a town and agriculture, so not as remote as expected. A bit disappointing. Don't take much baggage as you have to carry it on your back on the camel (for about an hour each way).
