Zagora

"The desert in Zagora is a special place that offers a unique taste of the Moroccan Sahara. Known for its dramatic landscapes and the iconic sign that says "Timbuktu 52 days," it’s a gateway to desert adventures. Compared to other desert destinations like Merzouga, Zagora has smaller dunes but offers a more intimate and less crowded experience. It's a great starting point for exploring the Draa Valley, with its beautiful palm groves and ancient kasbahs. Visiting Zagora is all about soaking in the desert vibes without the hustle and bustle. You can take a camel trek into the desert, be greeted at your camp with Berber tea, and enjoy the simplicity and quietness of the surroundings. The sunsets here are breathtaking, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. At night, the stars fill the sky, providing a stunning view that's perfect for stargazing. Staying in a Berber camp, sharing stories around the campfire, and enjoying traditional Moroccan meals make the experience memorable. It's a peaceful escape that lets you connect with the desert's timeless beauty."
