A compact, private two‑day route from Agadir to the Zagora desert that pairs a sunset camel trek with a night in a Berber camp. Expect long scenic drives, Draa Valley palms, traditional food, and clear desert skies.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned minibus as the light thins and the desert leans into evening—wind carving long shadows from the dunes, a single camel string punctuating the horizon. The road from Agadir loosens its coastal grip and, after hours of changing olive groves and ochre plateaus, the Draa Valley opens: a corridor of palms and adobe villages that lead toward Zagora’s simpler sky.
