2-day Marrakech to Zagora desert tour: UNESCO Ait Ben Haddou, Draa Valley, sunrise and sunset camel rides, Berber camp dinner.

“Jamaal was an excellent driver who took great care of us and answered lots of questions about the area. The size of the group (7 travelers) was great and we had a lot of fun. Highlight was the camel ride and camp in the desert. The guides there were great as well. Enjoyed the drive to see landscape and towns along the way. Did not need a guide for Ait Ben Haddou. Would recommend this 2-day trip for seeing outside of Marrakech.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 411 reviews · from $172Top rated

Atlas Mountains day trip from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou via Tizi n'Tichka, with breakfast, lunch, entrance fees, and small-group guides.

“This is a must for anybody visiting Morocco. The drive to the Big Atlas mountain was wonderful, catching the sunrise on our way up and marveling at the view from Tiznit-n-Tichka pass. Our tour guide/driver was necessarily cautious as he navigated the zigzagging road. Mohamed, our tour guide/driver was very informative and accommodating. He did the necessary stops we asked of him. It was a private tour after all. Upon arriving at Ait Ben Haddou, he handed us over to a different guide and gave us a bottle of water each, for the warm climb up Ait Ben Haddou. The other guide, Radia, was also very informative and patient with…”

The destination Ait ben haddou was very interesting and enough time was provided to explore. The restaurant meal was very good. The van was comfortable and safe. I do think the driver and tour guide could be more active in providing more information along the journey. Overall we enjoyed the tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 198 reviews · 1 day · from $54

Day trip from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate via Tizi N'Tichka, with UNESCO Ait Ben Haddou, optional Atlas Studios, and lunch options.

“I was so happy to have taken this tour through the Atlas Mountains and out to the various stops along the way to Ouarzazate. It was truly an unforgettable experience in Morocco. I recommend that you take a tour like this one but it's definitely a long day, so be prepared. Early pick up (which I almost missed because I confused the time and location because it wasn't very clear) The ride is long - along the way there are numerous stops so you get to enjoy getting out, walking around and taking in the scenic views. The way back was a bit rough because it's a 4hr drive back…”

“The driver literally spoke no English at all. He seemed a lovely young man but when we asked a couple of questions, he struggled. Some interactions with our driver would have been nice. As I said, he seemed a nice young man, great music, but thought we would have had a driver with a bit more English. Not his fault”
