Zagora Desert and Draa Valley Day Trip From Ouarzazate

We took a 2-day private tour from Ouarzazate to the Merzouga Dunes. I have checked many companies and finally decided to pick this one and I see it was the right thing to do! We do not generally like to take long guided tours, but this time we thought it was just going to be the best option taking into account that it was our first time in Morocco and that we wanted to learn and see as much as possible about the country. Our driver/guide Mohamed was extremely informative and patient with all our questions - we learnt a lot more from him than what we could have learnt from just travel books. His way of driving was very pleasant. The itinerary included a bunch of interesting sights and the two restaurants in which we stopped on the way (for lunch) served very good food. They adapted to our wishes as well when we asked to stop some more time in the Valley of Roses as it was just around the festival time. Moreover, we decided not to sleep in the desert but in one of the hotels next to the dunes which was nice too. It included dinner and breakfast. The company even offered a free lunch the second day because my boyfriend decided not to ride the camel the evening before as he was too tired for that. It was a nice gesture we did not expect because it was in any case his choice not to take it. The great thing was as well that the tour was not too commercial, there was no unnecessary shopping we did not ask for. All in all, highly recommended and special thanks to Mohamed for having made these two days so great for us!

A friend and I did the two-day Erg Chebbi tour with Jaouad, starting and ending in Ouarzazate via an overnight stay in the Erg Chebbi dunes. And what an experience - from camel trekking through sunset and sunrise to staying in the Berber camp through to exploring the expanses of the Tafilalt oasis and Draa Valley with our extremely friendly (and incredibly knowledgeable) driver. It was a packed itinerary over two days, and I'd definitely recommend spending more time in the region if you can, but for an insightful and affordable adventure into south-central Morocco, this two-day tour from Ouarzazate Unlimited is an excellent choice.

Our family of four (1 year old son and 4 year old daughter) toured Morocco with Ouarzazate Unlimited in February 2018 for about 8 days. We had an amazing time there seeing Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, Ait Benhaddou, Draa Valley, and staying in a desert camp. Our driver and guide, Mohamed, was great with our small children and very accomodating of our needs. He added so much depth of culture and history to what we saw and did.
