aghafay day trip
A day trip to the Agafay Desert from Marrakech offers a unique experience of Morocco’s rocky desert landscape, just a short drive from the city. Unlike the sand dunes of the Sahara, Agafay is a stony desert, characterized by its rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and vast open spaces that stretch towards the Atlas Mountains.
The trip often includes a stop at a traditional Berber village, where you can learn about local customs and enjoy mint tea with the villagers. You’ll also have the chance to explore the desert on a camel trek or a quad bike adventure, experiencing the rugged beauty of the terrain up close.
Lunch is typically served in a scenic desert camp, where you can relax in a comfortable tent and savor traditional Moroccan cuisine while taking in the tranquil surroundings. The day ends with a leisurely drive back to Marrakech, with memories of the stark yet captivating landscapes of the Agafay Desert.
