Down the Draa valley to the desert of Zagora: kasbahs, palm groves, a camel ride and a night in the dunes.
From Ouarzazate, the Draa valley is the shortest road to the desert. On the way you see the kasbah of Tamnougalt and the old village of Agdz, among endless palm groves.
A short and easy desert experience from Ouarzazate, with only about three hours of driving each way. It is ideal for families and for travellers who want a night in the dunes without long journeys.
The Draa valley is especially green and beautiful in autumn, at the time of the date harvest.
The Anti-Atlas, Agdz, Tamnougalt and the Draa valley. Camel ride and night in the camp.
South of Ouarzazate the road crosses the black mountains of the Anti-Atlas by the Tizi n'Tinifift pass and descends to Agdz. From there you follow the Draa valley, a long green ribbon of palm trees, passing the kasbah of Tamnougalt, to Zagora, where a camel caravan takes you to the camp in the dunes.
Sunrise in the desert and the drive back to Ouarzazate.
After the sunrise and breakfast in the camp, you ride back and drive north up the Draa valley. You can stop to walk in the palm groves of Agdz or visit a kasbah before crossing the Anti-Atlas back to Ouarzazate, where you arrive around midday.
