Departure

Marrakech

The Agafay Desert is the best-kept secret near Marrakech. This lunar landscape of rocky hills and dried riverbeds is only 40 km from the city, yet feels a world away — with the snow-capped Atlas as a permanent backdrop.

About this excursion

The Agafay Desert is a rocky desert landscape of arid hills and dried valleys, set just 40 km from Marrakech with a stunning backdrop of snow-capped Atlas peaks. It offers the authentic desert experience without the long journey to the Sahara: camel treks at sunset, quad bike rides, and bivouac dinners under the stars.

Desert Without the Distance

Unlike the Sahara which requires 2-3 days of travel, Agafay is accessible in under an hour from Marrakech. It offers all the magic of a desert experience: the silence, the immensity, the stars, and the camel rides, without the long journey.

The Luxury Camps

Several luxury camps have set up in Agafay, offering experiences ranging from romantic candlelit dinners to full overnight stays with hot showers under the stars. Our excursion includes a traditional Berber camp with authentic cuisine and live music.
