Detail of Desert Morocco Tour
The Desert Morocco Tour begins in Marrakesh where you will be received by your private driver on the airport. Being one of the most popular cities of Morocco, Marrakesh is the hub of activities all year round. Visitors throng popular places like the Djemaa el-Fna Square, the local souks, city gardens, royal palaces and several rooftop restaurants that provide authentic Moroccan cuisine. The city is located at the base of the majestic Atlas Mountains and makes a fitting starting point for visitors who are interested in trekking and exploring.
From the city of Marrakesh you will travel to the Atlas Mountains, which divide the desert interiors of Morocco from the fertile coastal areas. The Atlas Mountains are inhabited by Berbers, who still live by following the customs and traditions of their forefathers. On way to Atlas Mountains, you will get to visit Ait Ben Haddou which is the largest and most popular casbah in Morocco. The overnight stay will be in the city of Ouarzazate, a peaceful city that is close to the Atlas Mountains and the Draa Valley. The city is specially known for having the largest movie studios in the world. Many movies like Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, Alexander, and Gladiator have been filmed in this city.
The entry to Sahara Desert is from the city of Merzouga. The nomadic villages of Sahara and the serene atmosphere here can make you feel relaxed and calm. You can enjoy a camel ride through the sand dunes of Sahara and you will be accompanied by an experienced guide for the camel tour. On this desert tour you will also get a chance for experiencing desert life first hand, as a nomadic tent will be arranged for you where you can spend the night in desert.
The return from the desert will be through the city of Ouarzazate and the scenic beauty of the country will leave you mesmerized. Marrakesh is the last stop of the journey where you can relax and unwind after the tour to the Sahara Desert. The local souks are great places for shopping souvenirs like decoration pieces, jewelry and Moroccan carpets for your friends and family.
