Agafay Desert Day Trip From Marrakech

Agafay Desert Overview:

Agafay Desert Day From Marrakech to experience the tranquility of the desert. Photograph the beautiful scenery of the surrounding countryside.

Situated just 40km from Marrakech, the Agafay desert may not be a traditional Saharan expanse but rather a captivating barren plateau. This semi-lunar landscape, spanning vast distances, offers a stark beauty that is both challenging in the summer heat yet truly mesmerizing during the cooler seasons. Despite its unique allure, the Agafay desert is often overshadowed by travelers journeying between the Atlas Mountains and Marrakech, making it a hidden gem waiting to be explored by those seeking a different kind of desert experience.

The departure of local villages due to water scarcity has transformed the area into a haven for camel trekking and hiking enthusiasts. Traversing the seemingly boundless plateau against the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains offers a serene and effortless experience. Exploring small river gorges and ascending gentle hills rewards adventurers with expansive vistas that stretch far and wide. Along the journey, opportunities for camel rides and delightful picnic lunches further enhance the exploration of this unique terrain.

Take photos of your party in front of the snow-covered High Atlas mountains. Sunset camel rides and tea are relaxing. Lunch in the most charming Agafay desert spot.

Return to Marrakech by afternoon.
