3-Day Marrakech to Zagora Desert Tour

The 3-day Marrakech to Zagora tour suits travellers who want to sleep twice in the desert without crossing the whole country. With about 350 km each way, the first and last days are full but manageable, and the middle day lets you slow down in the Draa Valley. Families, couples and curious travellers who like villages, pottery and palm groves as much as dunes will enjoy it. Those who want the tall dunes of Erg Chebbi should look at the Merzouga tours instead.

Spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons for the 3-day Marrakech to Zagora tour, with warm days for walking in the palm groves and cool evenings at the camp. In summer, Zagora and the Draa Valley can be very hot, so outdoor time is best in the early morning and at sunset. In winter, the desert nights are cold, and snow is possible on the Tizi n'Tichka pass over the High Atlas, which can slow the first and last days. Marrakech has a different climate from the interior, so judge the trip by the desert.

For the 3-day Marrakech to Zagora tour, pack light layers for the day and a warm jacket or fleece for two nights in the desert camp. A scarf, sunglasses, sun cream, a hat and closed shoes help in the palm groves and the dunes. The tour does not include lunches, drinks, entrance fees or tips, so carry cash for meals on the road, Tamegroute, any visits you choose and your driver and guide. Dinner and breakfast at the camp are included, and a small bag is easier than a large suitcase.
