The Experience
About the Agafay Desert Experience
Travel outside Marrakech toward the open landscapes of the Agafay Desert, where rocky hills and wide plains create a very different setting from the busy streets of the city.
The experience combines transportation from Marrakech with time in the desert environment, panoramic views and selected activities according to the package booked.
A camel experience can be included as part of the visit, giving travelers time to cross part of the landscape at a slower pace before relaxing in the desert surroundings.
Later in the day, the changing light across the rocky terrain creates an ideal setting for sunset before returning to Marrakech.
