About Agafay

Marrakech's closest desert — a rocky, moon-like plain at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. Expect stony hills and wide-open silence, camel trains at golden hour, tented camps under the stars. The quickest desert escape from Marrakech — camel rides, quad and buggy trails, and sunset dinners about 40 minutes from the city, with no long Sahara drive.
