Agafay Desert Experience
The Agafay Desert is located about an hour’s drive (40-50 km) southwest of Marrakech, making it an ideal destination for a day trip or an overnight stay.
Landscape: Unlike the vast sand dunes of the Sahara, Agafay is known for its rocky, arid, and rolling hills—often described as a lunar or stone desert (“reg”).
Vibe: It offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city, with stunning, expansive views of the Atlas Mountains, which are often snow-capped in winter.
Activities: The excursion is centered around adventure and cultural immersion.
Camps: The area is home to numerous luxury desert camps and eco-lodges, many of which offer the activities, meals, and overnight glamping experiences.
