Just 30-40 minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay desert is one of the most popular short excursions. Unlike Merzouga, it's a stony landscape, set against the High Atlas Mountains.
Popular activities
Sunset camel rides, quad biking, buggy tours, and Berber-style dinner camps. Some upscale camps feature infinity pools overlooking the mountains.
Half-day or overnight?
The half-day excursion lets you catch the sunset and dinner. An overnight stay offers a tent, stargazing and breakfast with mountain views. Riad Dar Kawkawa, 3 min from Jemaa el-Fna, can arrange it at +212 661 13 22 74.
