Agafay Desert Sunset Camel ride

Leave the bustling city of Marrakech behind and drive past lush vegetation, olive and orange orchards, and picturesque villages. Venture off the paved road onto rugged paths where the scenery changes dramatically: light brown barren plateaus, a true stone desert. The locals call this the Agafay Desert, and the sense of solitude is so profound, it feels like the Sahara. For those who don’t have time for a full Sahara Desert tour, the Agafay Desert is the perfect alternative. This desert is not a sand desert, but rather a sandstone and earthen plateau, with traditional mud-built villages and dry riverbeds, interspersed with lush pastures and vegetation in springtime. Here, you can sample tea with the locals and experience a unique camel trekking adventure.
