    If you're looking for an experience out of Marrakech that everyone can enjoy regardless of age, this is a great choice. Our team ranged from pre-adolescents to 50+ yo folk and they all enjoyed driving quads and dromedary riding. The scenic view is stunning and you get plenty of time to walk around, relax and more. The food was very good, though I wish it also included drinks (at least a soda). A standout was the tea. The dromedary guide took some of our best pics!

More information

The Agafay Desert is an expansive stone desert, located just outside the bustling city of Marrakech.

Why visit the Agafay Desert?

Less than 30 kilometres (18 miles) outside of Marrakech, the Agafay Desert offers the tranquil, isolated experience of the Sahara Desert, without all of the travel. Get away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the High Atlas mountains.

What is there to do?

There are lots of ways you can experience the Agafay with Civitatis, from going on a camel ride or a quad tour to visiting a local village to learn about the traditions and culture of people living in the region. Alternatively, spend the night in this magical spot and watch the sunrise over the dunes.

How to get to the Afaday Desert

The easiest way to get to the desert is with a day trip/excursion from Marrakech. Alternatively, you can grab a taxi from the city.
