Agafay Desert Day Tour from Marrakech Itinerary
Marrakech → Agafay Desert
If you can spare a day to experience the Moroccan desolate tract landscapes and lifestyle, the Agafay Desert day ride is your first-class preference.
Meet your driving force/manual at your resort and pressure Southeast past orange, olive, and peach farms till you reach the moon-like arid hills of the Agafay Desert.
From here, you will travel off the beaten track. As you proceed, you will be surrounded by the rugged dunes and rocky landscape of the Agafay barren region. You will cross dry rivers, canyons, and oases. You will drive beyond Berber villages and watch flocks of sheep pass by.
After enjoying a cup of refreshing mint tea, prepare for an hour-long camel trek, followed by a delightful Moroccan Tagine lunch underneath a nomad tent. In the afternoon, you return to Lalla Takerkoust Lake, located at the opposite stop of the Agafay barren region. This lake serves as a water reservoir that provides Marrakech with water for consumption. On the horizon, you will see the grandeur of the High Atlas Mountains, which are typically snow-covered throughout the year.
We will return to Marrakech in the late afternoon, and your Agafay day trip will conclude with a drop-off at your lodge.
