If you dream of discovering the desert without traveling all the way to the Sahara, the Agafay Desert is an excellent option! The Marrakech desert is a rocky plateau offering lunar landscapes reminiscent of distant sand dunes.
We go to Agafay to enjoy these landscapes, but also for the dinner show and to spend the night in a tent, glamping style. Among the activities in the Marrakech desert, we can mention quad biking, buggy rides, or camel treks for an immersive experience in this breathtaking setting.
Add to this desert experience a night in the Atlas Mountains and the charm of Essaouira, and you have one of the best Morocco tours departing from Marrakech!
