Day Trip to Agafay Desert – A Stone Desert Escape Near Marrakech

Perfect for those short on time, this day trip brings the desert experience close to the city. Ride camels or quad bikes across the arid terrain, enjoy tea in a nomadic-style tent, and watch the sun set over the Atlas Mountains in the distance.
Whether you’re seeking peaceful moments or a touch of adventure, Agafay is a stunning and accessible desert getaway—ideal for a romantic escape, a group outing, or a quiet retreat into nature.
