Continue towards Tamegroute, famous for its unique green pottery and ancient spiritual heritage. Visit pottery workshops and learn about the distinctive green glaze made using traditional natural techniques passed down through generations.
In the late afternoon, arrive at the dunes near Zagora.

Day 2: Zagora Desert Camp to Ouarzazate
Wake early to witness a magical Sahara sunrise over the dunes. Enjoy breakfast in the peaceful desert atmosphere before beginning a scenic off-road adventure through remote desert tracks and volcanic landscapes.
Travel through isolated desert scenery towards Taghbalte and the fascinating archaeological site of Ait Ouazik Rock Engravings. The Ait Ouazik rock engravings are among the most important prehistoric rock art sites in southern Morocco. These ancient carvings date back thousands of years and depict animals, hunters, camels, symbols, and scenes of early human life in the Sahara before desertification transformed the region.
