About this activity

Wake up before dawn to enjoy the magnificent sunrise then return by dromedaries to reach the vehicle. It will be time to make the departure for Ouarzazate, this vast desert plateau which attracts visitors of all nationalities every year. In the shade of the palm trees, Ouarzazate has moved leaving behind a stony immensity swept by the winds of the Sahara. The splendid Kasbahs with their walls and adobe towers will take you to a world where time seems to have stood still. Ouarzazate is "Hollywood of Africa", many famous films have been shot here such as Alexander the Great, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, Kingdom of Heaven ... In the afternoon, continue to Marrakech for an expected arrival around 7 pm
