The road from Marrakech to Zagora
South-east of Marrakech the N9 climbs the High Atlas through Berber villages and walnut groves to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends into the stony south to the Aït Benhaddou turn-off. From Aït Benhaddou it is a short run across the plateau past the Atlas film studios into Ouarzazate. South of Ouarzazate the N9 crosses the Tizi n'Tinififft pass to Agdz, then follows the Draa valley — a 100 km ribbon of palm groves and crumbling kasbahs — to Zagora. Good places to break the drive: the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert, the Atlas film studios and the Draa valley palmeries.
Arriving in Zagora
Zagora is a palm-oasis town at the southern end of the Draa valley, famous for the old caravan sign reading '52 days to Timbuktu' and nearby smaller dunes. Desert camps are beyond the tarmac; your camp organises the final 4x4 or camel leg from town.
