At the scheduled time, we’ll collect you from your hotel in Marrakech, and from there, we’ll begin this trip to the Agafay Desert. This will be a real trip to paradise!
During the journey, of around 30 minutes, you’ll have the chance to admire the changing landscapes around us, from the majestic mountains to the desert’s sand dunes.
Once we’ve arrived in Afagay, we’ll stop off at a campsite located among the dunes. There, you’ll have some free time to take a refreshing dip in the pool. The perfect place to combat the heat of the desert. You’ll be able to enjoy the tranquillity of the desert while taking in the stunning views of the Atlas Mountain Range. An unforgettable experience!
At midday, we’ll meet at the restaurant at the campsite to enjoy a feast of Moroccan flavours. We’ll enjoy delicacies from fresh salads to aromatic chicken tajines and sweet desserts. Dig in!
After lunch, we’ll use our time to explore the desert. For this, you’ll be able to go on an hour-long camel ride and enjoy another hour of fun by taking a quadbike tour of the golden dunes of the Agafay desert.
Once we’ve finished these activities and the sun has begun to set behind the horizon, we’ll return to Marrakech, after around 6 hours together.
If you’d like to get to know the Agafay Desert in a more relaxed way, book our tour option that includes a stop at the dunes campsite with pool access and meals included. This tour lasts as long as the one mentioned prior, but instead, you’ll spend the whole day at the campsite while the rest of the group completes the tour route.

Yes, you can easily enhance your Agafay desert day trip by adding quad biking or dune buggy experiences. These can be arranged upon request for an additional fee.

Yes, the day trip to Agafay desert from Marrakech is family-friendly, and children will enjoy the camel ride and cultural experiences. However, parents should consider the desert’s heat and potential walking distances.
The Agafay Desert offers a more accessible desert adventure for those short on time, providing stunning landscapes and cultural immersion without the need for a multi-day journey. It’s an ideal alternative to the Sahara for those staying in Marrakech.
Escursione molto ben organizzata. I tramonti sono emozionanti. Buona cena e spettacolo serale molto coinvolgente. Giro in cammello al tramonto da non perdere. Un ringraziamento particolare a Badr per l’accoglienza e la cura dei dettagli, una persona “speciale”
La vérité, c’est que c’était incroyable. Dès notre arrivée jusqu’à notre départ, Abdelali a été attentif pour s’assurer que nous n’avons manqué de rien. Je le recommande à 100 %. La balade à dos de chameau, le dîner, les piscines, le lever de soleil,… l’expérience et l’accueil étaient incroyables.
Es war besser als wir erwartet hatten. Sehr aufmerksames Personal, eine Haima mit unglaublichem Blick auf die Wüste. Sie werden auch einen filmreifen Sonnenuntergang genießen, ein sehr gutes Abendessen und eine unterhaltsame Show, die das Abendessen unterhaltsam macht. Das Frühstück war genauso gut wie das Abendessen. Vielen Dank an Abdelali, das gesamte Personal und die Künstler der Erfahrung.
The activity was very good. We were pleasantly surprised. The quad ride was very interesting and fun. All the workers were very attentive and friendly, especially Abdelali who treated us very well.
Everything was exceptional! They came to take me near my hotel, and took us to the camp at the desert. They warmly welcomed us with some tea and explained us the program of the evening (shout out to Fatima that has been so so so kind and helpful). Staff is all super kind, they always asked about me and checking if I needed anything and took care of all my needs. The views, especially night and sunrise, are magical! This is absolutely an experience to not miss when in Marrakesh!
It is a very good price, it includes transport, a welcome tea, accommodation in the haima which is super nice and also dinner with a show and breakfast. The only thing to keep in mind is that they sell alcoholic drinks but it is a bit expensive.
Very friendly service from the start, very entertaining shows and an exquisite gourmet dinner. The place is beautiful, we did quad biking in the desert and it was very fun
Experiencia 100% recomendada de principio a fin! Todo el personal fue encantador y muy atento a cualquier necesidad que pudiéramos tener. Si quieres una experiencia aún mejor, hazte buen amigo de Abdelali; te dará prioridad en todo y estará atento a ti durante toda tu estancia. La cena y el desayuno fueron deliciosos y abundantes, ¡y los camareros son todos encantadores! Recomendamos la excursión en quad. ¡Las instalaciones son 10/10!
The truth is that it was the best experience we have ever had. Our expectations were exceeded and by far. For being in the middle of nowhere, they had everything and more than we could have wished for, the dinner with abundant food and the show throughout the dinner was unbeatable. Rabie and the great team behind it made our experience unforgettable, the attention was 10/10. Simply thank you.
It was an extraordinary experience, from the first to the last minute. We enjoyed the scenery, the activities, the performances, the food and all the people who work there. The staff treated us very well and made our stay as easy as possible. We recommend doing this activity without hesitation.
È un’esperienza che tutti coloro che vengono a Marrakech dovrebbero fare. Tutto è stato molto ben organizzato, dal prelievo al ritorno in hotel. La cena e lo spettacolo sono stati fantastici. Grazie, Abdelali, tutto è stato perfetto.
Everything was really beautiful, the van came to pick us up on time, comfortable trip, basic but very clean Berber tent, very kind guys at the camp, especially Abdelali who speaks Italian, really kind and helpful, dinner with a beautiful and fun show, moments of relaxation were not lacking, wonderful quad and camel excursion, what can I say? Highly recommended Morocco I love
