Solo Traveller

I had an incredible time on the 2-day desert tour to Zagora from Marrakech! From the moment we left the city, the journey was filled with breathtaking landscapes, and the guides were so informative and friendly. The Tizi n’Tichka Pass and the Aït Benhaddou kasbah were highlights of the trip. The camel ride at sunset in Zagora was a magical experience, and staying overnight in the desert camp made me feel like I was part of Morocco’s rich culture. The sunrise camel ride was unforgettable, and I loved the peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Morocco’s desert!
