Day 2 : Zagora to Marrakech Via Ouarzazate

Climb a dune for sunrise and after breakfast camel trek back to Zagora.  Transfer back to Marrakech.

Notes

Please note that Zagora is a 7hrs drive each way and the dunes do not offer the same desert experience as Erg Chebbi or Erg Chegaga.  Zagora is a compromise if you only have  two days abut still want to get out of the city to camel trek and sleep under the stars in a desert camp.  However, if you have time for a 3day Marrakech Camel Trek Tour we recommend you go the distance to Erg Chebbi or Erg Chegaga.
