The experience
What makes this time well spent
Less than an hour from Marrakech, the Agafay Desert replaces city noise with pale hills, open valleys and distant Atlas Mountain views.
The afternoon begins with pickup from your accommodation before following the road into the countryside. Once at the camp, there is time to settle in, enjoy mint tea and watch the changing evening light.
Dinner is served in a relaxed desert setting. This activity is a good choice for travelers who want an atmospheric evening outside Marrakech without making the long journey to the Sahara.
