Overview
Draa Valley Day Trip from Ouarzazate
The Draa Valley day trip from Ouarzazate is a private one-day excursion along the Draa river, the longest river in Morocco, through palm groves, kasbahs and villages as far as Agdz, with a local driver and guide. The price is on request.
The Draa Valley is a long green ribbon of palm trees between the High Atlas and the desert. The river has fed oases here for centuries, and the villages still live from dates and agriculture.
From Ouarzazate you drive south to Agdz, with views of the palm groves and the Jebel Kissane. Stops include the Tamnougalt kasbah, a former fortress, and walks among the palms.
It is a quiet, scenic day with little traffic, ideal if you want landscapes and village life more than monuments. We adapt the stops to your pace.
