Two-day Sahara Desert Experience with overnight Berber tent experience

2 days + 1 night
2 meals included
Light intensity
Desert camp

From Agadir, this two-day route south cuts through saffron fields in Taliouine, carpet-weaving workshops in Taznakht and the High Atlas foothills before dropping into the desert near Zagora. A sunset camel ride across the dunes leads to a nomadic camp where traditional dinner and live music set the tone for a night sleeping under a sky full of stars. The return via Ouarzazate and the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou makes the journey back just as rewarding.

What makes the night special

The camels pad softly across the dunes as the last sunlight turns the sand gold, then amber, then deep rose. At the nomadic camp, lanterns glow between low tents and the sound of traditional music drifts across the sand. Dinner is served communally with tagine, bread and tea. Afterwards, lying back on cushions, the Sahara sky opens up into a blanket of stars with no competition from city lights.

Depart Agadir and head south through changing scenery, stopping in Taliouine, known as the capital of saffron, and Taznakht, famous for traditional Berber carpets. After a lunch break in Taznakht, continue towards Zagora with scenic stops for panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains, ancient kasbahs and palm-filled oases. By late afternoon, arrive at the desert outskirts for a sunset camel ride across the dunes. As night falls, settle into your nomadic desert camp for a traditional dinner with local music under a sky full of stars.

Wake to a desert sunrise and eat breakfast at camp before beginning the return to Agadir via Ouarzazate. Along the way, pass through Berber villages with the option to visit the Taourirt Kasbah and Atlas Cinema Studios in Ouarzazate. The highlight is Ait Ben Haddou, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its earthen architecture and film-set history. After free time for lunch, continue the drive back to Agadir.

We couldn't fault anything. We would have paid the money for the trip just for the drive there which was stunning and fully air con which we did need. Yusef and Mohammed guided us just the perfect amount but kept their distance to give us some exploration time and space. They were really knowledgable and they got involved and helped us get involved with the berber music despite us both being a bit shy. They really helped us relax and feel well looked after. The best experience we ever had.
