Agafay Desert: Camel Ride, Sunset & Dinner
Overview
Ride a camel across the stone desert of Agafay and enjoy dinner under the stars, just 40 minutes from Marrakech.
Only 40 minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay Desert is a landscape of golden hills with the snowy peaks of the High Atlas on the horizon. It is the perfect escape when you do not have time to travel to the Sahara.
