This rugged, undeveloped desert landscape is perfect for exploring on foot and experiencing a different side of Morocco, without travelling deep into the Sahara.

Marrakech – Agafay Desert
Travel by comfortable bus from Marrakech and reach the Agafay Desert in around 40 minutes. Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind as you head into the peaceful countryside, passing traditional Berber villages and enjoying views of Agafay’s distinctive rolling desert hills.
Follow a scenic trail through ancient mud-brick houses, some dating back hundreds of years, before arriving near a traditional desert camp. Take in the spectacular sunset while enjoying delicious Moroccan sweets, then sit down to a tasty dinner featuring fresh salads, fragrant tagines, traditional bread and couscous.
After dinner, enjoy an evening of traditional entertainment around the campfire, accompanied by Berber music, before returning to Marrakech after a memorable Agafay Desert experience.
