About this experience
Experience the ultimate Saharan adventure with our two-day excursion to Zagora. Leaving the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind, this journey transports you through the spectacular landscapes of the High Atlas to the gateway of the Sahara.
Zagora, the desert's first oasis, welcomes you with its ancient palm groves and golden dunes, offering a perfect immersion for those with limited time who still wish to experience the magic of the Moroccan desert.
This experience is designed for wonder: from crossing the Tizi n'Tichka pass to visiting the famous Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, every step reveals a part of Morocco's history and raw beauty.
The sunset camel trek and the night spent under an authentic Berber tent are the highlights of this journey, creating memories that will last a lifetime under the starry desert sky.

« Consiglio tanto ITINERANCE PLUS che è riuscita ad accoglierci e farci sentire a nostro agio nel organizzare i nostri tour con loro, a differenza di molte agenzie che abbiamo sentito prima di loro, (quest’ultime molto vaghe e oppressive) . Hanno una vasta proposta di esperienze e servizi di trasposto. Siamo stati ad Essaouira e Ourika in giornata, servizio di solo trasporto andata e ritorno, ma comunque puntuale come da accordo, svariati Caffe/toilette STOP o PHOTO STOP ( aprezzatissimi) , nella tratta di ourika ci siamo fermati pure a visitare e scoprire una casa berbera e gustarci un bicchiere di te offerto! Poi ci hanno organizzato un viaggio di tre giorni verso il deserto di MerZouga Un tour meraviglioso che consiglio tantissimo Mi soffermo sui servizi offerti dall’agenzia: Trasporto, prima notte in albergo con cena e colazione e seconda notte in tenda con cena SOETTACOLO davanti al fuoco e colazione giorno dopo, e GIRO IN CAMELLO . da non trascurare la disponibilità dell’autista durante i tragitti sopratutto con i photostop Esperienza molto molto bella! E tutto come da accordato . Menziono HASNA che è stata la nostra organizzatrice e IL NOSTRO PUNTO DI RIFERIMENTO che con i suoi modi e SOPRATTUTTO la sua DIPONIBILITA CI ha fatto sentire come a casa.

« Notre circuit Marrakech - desert Zagora - Ouarzazate - Marrakech s'est très bien passé avec Omar Nadif comme chauffeur qui est vraiment très gentil. Il a tout géré sur les points de rendez vous, hôtel les pauses déjeuner. Au cours des trajets il faisait régulièrement des pauses avec de jolis points de vues et des petites explications. »

« Excellente agence avec des employés au top (Abdellatif, Hasna, les différents chauffeurs que nous avons pu avoir). Malgré que notre logement était en dehors de la médina, un chauffeur venait nous chercher et nous y ramenait directement. Les navettes étaient confortables, les chauffeurs s'arrêtaient à certains spots pour que nous puissions prendre des photos en chemin (chèvres dans les arganiers sur la route d'Essaouira + arrêt dans une coopérative de fabrication d'huile d'argan, différents arrêts dans l'Atlas sur la route de Zagora + visite d'Aït ben Haddou vraiment magnifique, etc..). Si nous retournons à Marrakech nous retournons dans cette agence pour le trip à Merzouga. Scherif, Christelle et le petit prince Raheem ;) »

Agafay Desert Camel Ride: the Authentic Nomad Experience At Sunset
Dive into the soul of Morocco with our camel ride in the Agafay Desert. Less than an hour from Marrakech, forget the city's turmoil and let yourself be carried by the peaceful rhythm of ancient caravans. This experience begins with a visual immersion: you will don traditional nomad attire—the gandoura and the cheche—for authentic sun protection and the look of a true desert traveler. Mounted on your camel, you will traverse the rocky ridges and valleys of Agafay, a lunar landscape of wild beauty.

Conhecemos a Itinerante Plus já em marrakesh, através do Youssef. Youssef nós proporcionou excelentes passeios a um ótimo preço! Foi uma experiência incrível!! Viajamos por diversos lugares como Ouzoud, Deserto de Agafay, montanhas Atlas, Ourzazate e outros. Sempre com transportes de qualidade e seguros. Cumpriu tudo o que foi prometido! Super indico. Além de tudo foi sempre muito atencioso... esteve a disposição a todo momento para nos dar dicas na própria marrakesh, onde comer, melhores lojas para compras, etc. Quando voltarmos de certeza que o procurarei novamente. We got to know Itinerante Plus already in Marrakesh, through Youssef. Youssef provided us with excellent tours at a great price! It was an incredible experience!! We traveled through different places like Ouzoud, Agafay Desert, Atlas Mountains, Ourzazate and others. Always with quality and safe transport. Fulfilled everything that was promised! Super nominate. In addition, he was always very attentive... he was available at all times to give us tips on Marrakesh itself, where to eat, the best stores to shop, etc. When we return I will definitely look for it again.

The experience if was incredible!!! The driver good person a lot of paciente cause the ucrania girls that speak down, make lot of noise, we stop more times for this girls cause the princes nice to change more than 5 times in a day!! The experience in the desert is for enjoy something different no for instagramers that only disturb the group! The dessert if was incredible but yes the camel's no Smells like roses!!! I hate how this kind of people can speak wrong about your agency really!!!! This 4 princes it's better still at home!!! And we take more air!!! For the rest of the group if was magic and incredible experience! Lo escribo en ingles para que se entere más gente! Pero de verdad que es una experiencia super bonita! Lo peor fue contar con esas 4 cotorras que solo se preocupaban de los instagramers y de subir su foto con vestidos diferentes!! Me parece fatal que hablen así de la agencia!!!

Youssef told us not to rent a car, but instead take the 3-day Sahara tour, which was definitely the best choice. I cannot describe how much fun, adventure, people and culture we experience. It is the best value for money possible. I want to emphasize my gratefulness to Youssef for advising the tour. Everything from the transport, food, guides, hotel, camel ride, sleep in Sahara was amazing and unforgettable. I have many traveling experience, but this was definitely one of the best experiences in my life. Youssef is a good friend now and I'll definitely go with him next time.

Wow, amazing trip. Lots of impressions. Great scenery. Very long drive - like longer. Unfortunately, the camels were not doing so well. We walked along the way through the desert so as not to burden it any further. Experience and eat at the first hotel and stop quite wonderful. Also at desert camp. Great starry sky. Sunset and dawn - just madness. Our driver Rashid(?) super nice and helpful. Great respect for the long journey times he completes. Next time gladly again- but without camels 🐫
