This Zagora desert tour from Agadir packs the Atlas foothills, saffron country, the desert and a famous kasbah into two days. You are picked up at your hotel in Agadir or Taghazout and travel by air-conditioned 4x4 with a driver-guide, so there is no need to organize your own route.
On day one you drive inland through Berber villages toward Zagora, passing Taznakht and Taliouine, known as the saffron capital. In the Zagora region you take a camel ride at sunset and spend the night in a desert camp, with dinner included.
On day two you leave Zagora and head for Ouarzazate. You visit the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and the African Hollywood Studios, take a lunch break and see Ouarzazate before the drive back to Agadir. The tour usually ends around 8:00 PM.
It suits travelers who want a real taste of the Moroccan desert without leaving Agadir for a long multi-day journey. Expect long driving days, which is the trade-off for covering so much ground.
