Continue along the Draa River Valley to Zagora via the mountains of Ait Saoune. Camel trek (1hr) to the camp for sunset. Camp with dinner and breakfast included.
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.
