Itinerary: Marrakech to Agafay Desert Experience

Your journey begins in the afternoon, when your driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. As you leave the city behind, the landscape gradually transforms from bustling streets to tranquil open spaces. After around 45 minutes, you will arrive at the beautiful Agafay Desert, which is renowned for its rocky hills and tranquil atmosphere.

At the camp, you will be welcomed with a glass of traditional Moroccan mint tea. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the calm surroundings before heading out for one of the trip’s highlights. As the afternoon light softens, you ride a camel across the desert. The sunset here feels particularly special, with warm colours spreading across the sky and the Atlas Mountains providing a stunning backdrop.

As night falls, the camp lights up gently. You sit down for a candlelit dinner under the open sky and enjoy carefully prepared Moroccan dishes. The evening becomes even more magical when soft Berber music is played around the fire, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

You then spend the night in a comfortable, luxury tent fully equipped with a private bathroom and cosy bedding, allowing you to relax and enjoy the desert’s silence.
