Agafay Desert Trip from Marrakech
The stone desert 40 minutes from Marrakech: camels at sunset, dinner under the stars and the snowy Atlas in the background.
About this day trip
The Agafay Desert is the perfect escape if you are short on time and want a taste of the desert without long drives. It is not a sea of dunes like Merzouga, but a plateau of golden hills and stone that turns orange at sunset, with the peaks of the High Atlas behind.
We pick you up from your riad or hotel in the afternoon, enjoy a camel ride through the hills, watch the sunset from a viewpoint and have a Moroccan dinner at a camp with traditional music. We drive back to Marrakech in the evening.
