Your adventure to the Zagora Sahara Desert begins with a visit to some traditional Amazigh villages en route. Leaving Agadir, you'll head towards Zagora, passing through Taliouine, the capital of saffron, and Taznakht, renowned for its Amazigh carpets.
You'll pause for lunch in Taznakht before continuing your journey to Zagora. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and admire the views of the High Atlas Mountains, ancient kasbahs and verdant palm tree oasis. You'll then settle into your tent for an overnight stay in the desert. After dinner, the atmosphere becomes truly magical. You're invited to join the locals for some traditional music, share a few laughs and jokes, and soak up the tranquillity of the Sahara under a starlit sky.
The second day of your journey begins early so that you can savour the sunrise and capture some final moments in the Sahara. After breakfast, you'll start your drive back through the High Atlas Mountains and past more villages towards Ouarzazate, often referred to as 'Hollywood Africa'. Once in Ouarzazate, you'll visit the historic Taourirte Kasbah and the famous Atlas Cinema Studios. From there, it's onto Kser Ait Ben Haddou, arguably Africa's most famous kasbah, where you'll have free time and lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch, you'll begin your return journey to Agadir, arriving back in the late afternoon.
