    Itinerary of

    2 Days Desert Trip Marrakech to Zagora

    Day 1 : Marakech – Ait Benhaddou – Ouarzazate – Draa Valley – Zagora

    The departure of the 2-day desert trip to Zagora will be in the morning, whether from the airport or your hotel. After that, we drive through the high Atlas Mountains to the summit of 2260m (Tizi n Tichka). It means a difficult pass.

    We will stop for pictures through the views and Ait Benhadou’kasbah. It has been classed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1987. Lunch will be in the Hollywood of North Africa, named Ouarzazate City, which is the departure point of the Sahara Desert.

    We continue through the ”Draa Valley” at a length of 200 km. And then arrived Zagora. Then, you will ride camels for an hour, trekking out into the desert dunes to watch the magical sunset. You will spend the night in a Berber nomad tent with a delicious local dinner.


    Day 2 : Zagora – Agdez – High Atlas Mountains – Marrakech

    You can wake up early to enjoy the sunrise over the dunes and fantastic landscapes of harsh Saharan desert land. After those beautiful moments and exploration experience of desert land, you will have your breakfast meal in camp, the sun shining and becoming warm or a little hot, and you will ride your camels back to Zagora Hotel.

    We can also drive our 4×4 car just from the camp instead of riding the camels to the road. We drive back to Marrakech through the Draa valley and Agdez to discover the hidden treasures of the southern regions. Continue to Ouarzazate, where you will have your lunch, and explore the city with its ‘Cinema Studios’. In the afternoon, drive back to Marrakech via the high Atlas Mountains. We reach Marrakech around 6:00 p.m. and the end of the two days.

    6 day tour Said, our driver, was amazing. He skillfully took us through traffic, rain, and snow to get us to our destinations. He was as interested in us and we were in him. Lots of fun facts and was patient eveytime we were late in the morning! Youssef helped organize our tour and was always responsive before and through the tour. Definitely recommend!

    Perfect multi-day trip to the desert! We did a 5 day trip to Merzouga in the desert with them and it was perfect! Youssef was super responsive over email during the planning process. Our driver was his brother Hussain and we loved every minute of the trip. We were able to be picked up in Marrakech and dropped off in Fes which worked for our scheduled. We could also customize the day-to-day with the items we wanted to. The family is from Merzouga so they were super knowledgeable and knew all the great place to stop. Highly recommend!

    Simply Fantastic Amazing experience! My family booked with this company on the recommendation from a friend. We couldn't have been happier with the tour. Our guide, Youssef, went out of his way to make the trip extra special. Well organized, great hotels, brand new comfortable van, and attention to detail. If you're thinking of visiting Morocco, I highly recommend this company!

    Excellent Private Tour from Fes to Marrakech My Mom and I did a two person private tour with MET in January 2025. We started in Fez and did a 5 day trip to Marrakech, stopping in the dunes along the way with a fantastic night in the desert camp. Our guide Houssain was very willing to answer all of our (probably endless) questions about Morocco -- he's also a safe and skilled driver! Youssef was very responsive with our questions planning the trip and also able to accommodate changes to the schedule. I recommend them highly if you want to do a private tour through Morocco. They are a local company and know the history and terrain.

    Amazing, fantastic, unforgettable, Where do I start? Seven of us decided to travel to beautiful Morocco to celebrate our wonderful friend Joel. We had an unforgettable time. We met new people, visited amazing sites, ate great food, travel across country. This was one in a life time experience. All of these was possible because of Morocco exploration Trip. Youseff , Mohammed and team were one of a kind. They were just incredible. We felt safe in every place, town we went to, we were attended to and the trip was a success. My friend recommended Youssef to me and now I will highly , highly recommend him to you. I hope your trip to Morocco with Youseff is as beautiful as ours.
