Depart Marrakech at 9:00 am in a modern, air-conditioned minibus and head for the Atlas Mountains. Drive through the range, enjoying magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and snow-capped mountains. You will soon arrive at Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, an ancient fortified village that exemplifies traditional Moroccan terracotta architecture.
Then continue to Ouarzazate for lunch at a local cafe or restaurant. Continue along the Draa Valley to reach the town of Zagora. Here you will meet your camels, who will take you on a 1.5 hour trek through the dunes. From the top of these tall, sometimes graceful animals, you will have breathtaking views of the desert en route to your camp in the dunes.
