This tour is a special one and it lasts for at least 8 days, so make sure you have enough time at your disposal. We will start our trip from Ouarzazate, the so-called “Door of the desert”, as far as to the south of the town lies only desert. It is inhabited mostly by Berbers, who have manages to build most part of the city. It is a very important holiday destination for Moroccans and for foreigners, who come to Quazazate aiming at crossing Draa Valley.

As a professional private guide in Tangier I would strongly recommend you to visit Ait Benhaddou, the fortified village in the western part of Quarzazate, which is considered to be the World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will also take a look at the Glaoui Kasbah of Taurit (Taourirt Kasbah) and on the next day proceed to Zagora, which is called “the heart of a beautiful oasis”. Merzouga is our next destination. Finally you will have an opportunity to enjoy the view of the desert. You will ride a camel and relish the sun rays on the dunes.

You will spend the night by the camp fire. On the fourth day you will have to travel a bit on foot, and this way you will be able to enjoy the way of Berbers’ life.

For the next day we have planned to return to Quarzazate, but on our way there we will make a stop in El Kelaa-m-Goume (Kalaat M'Gouna), where the rose water is produced. It will be an opportunity for you to appreciate the harmony and calmness of the palm plantations and a fresh oasis, the breath-taking view of the Middle-Atlas Mountains. It is worth noting that this tour is as popular as the private tour in Tangier.
