Private Tours from Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate, the "gate of the desert", sits at the crossroads of the Draa Valley, the Dades Valley and the road over the High Atlas. Many of our itineraries pass through it, and any of them can be arranged to start here.
Ouarzazate is a quiet town with a big role: almost every journey through southern Morocco passes through it. To the north, the road climbs over the High Atlas to Marrakech; to the west lies Ait Benhaddou; to the south the Draa Valley runs towards Zagora; and to the east the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through Skoura, the Valley of Roses and the Dades and Todra gorges towards the Sahara.
In town, the Taourirt Kasbah and the film studios are worth a visit, and Ouarzazate’s airport makes it a practical starting point if you want to skip the drive from Marrakech.
Our tours from Ouarzazate range from a two-day trip to the Zagora desert to three- and four-day loops to the dunes of Erg Chebbi and back through the gorges, and a six-day journey north to Fes and Chefchaouen. Every itinerary is private and can be adapted — tell us how many days you have.
