Agafay Desert

Overview

Agafay is the Sahara without the eight-hour drive: an ocean of lunar hills 45 minutes from the city, with the snow-capped Atlas as a backdrop. The idea is simple — round-trip transport is a fixed price, and you then pick the activities you fancy. Some come just for the sunset and a glass of tea, others line up quad biking, a camel ride and dinner under a tent. Tell us what you're after and we build the outing with you.

Highlights

• Stone hills 45 minutes from Marrakech
• À la carte activities: quad, buggy, camel, dinner
• Sunset over the Atlas
• Possible during the day or in the evening
• Great for families and couples alike
