Our first stop allows you to take in the breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains and rolling landscapes. We will pause for a quick break to admire the countryside and capture photos of local Berber villages. After about 30 minutes of driving, you will finally reach the Agafay Desert.
Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome glass of mint tea while taking in the expansive views. The rest of the day is dedicated to relaxation and desert exploration.

FAQs
How far is the Agafay Desert from Marrakech?
The Agafay Desert is located approximately 30 to 35 kilometers from Marrakech, making it a very short and scenic drive of about 30 to 40 minutes.
Is the Agafay Desert like the Sahara Desert?
No, the Agafay is a rocky desert (often called a lunar landscape) rather than the sandy dunes of the Sahara. It offers a beautiful, peaceful desert atmosphere without the long drive required to reach Merzouga.
Can I do quad biking instead of a camel ride?
Yes, quad biking is available as an optional activity upon arrival at the desert. You can arrange this on-site or with your driver before arriving.
Where will I be dropped off on the second day?
We offer flexible drop-off services on Day 2. We can drop you off at your original hotel or riad, or directly at the Marrakech Airport if you have a departing flight.
