The sunrise over the Zagora dunes was the cherry on top. Perfect short trip to experience Morocco’s beauty!

      Best Way to See the Sahara in a Short Time!

      This 2-day tour to Zagora was ideal since we only had a few days in Morocco. The scenery was breathtaking, especially as we crossed the Atlas Mountains. Camel riding at sunset was a bucket-list moment, and the night in the desert camp under the stars was unforgettable. Loved the group atmosphere, too – we made friends from all over. Great value for money, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
