Day Trip to Agafay Desert from Marrakech

If you don’t have time to see the Sahara desert on your Moroccan vacation, this is a great day trip from Marrakech to Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility of the desert and the countryside with this Sahara tour.

You can’t see the southern Moroccan Saharan dunes because of the limited time you have in Marrakech. However, if you would like to get a sense of the vastness and solitude of the desert, you may still make a quick detour to the “Marrakech Desert,” also known as Agafay. At nine in the morning, a driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad and drive you a short distance to Agafay.

The region near Agafay is stony, dry, and moonlike, providing unanticipated and magnificent views of the High Atlas Mountains, which are covered in snow during the winter. You may face a few flocks of sheep going by in quest of grass and herbs in this mineral world. You will enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch in the Agafay Desert luxury camp. And, of course, this is followed by a relaxing glass of the famous Moroccan mint tea, Before you enjoy a one-hour camel ride in this fantastic desert place when the sun is about to get down.

This will let you catch a beautiful sunset up the camel, and you will see the beauty of the evening and live the desert vibe. You feel as though you can see for miles when you are standing on the Kik Plateau’s grassland, practically treeless plain. There are breathtaking views around every corner. Look down at the lovely valley that lies below you. Your eyes will go through the foothills and up toward the majestic High Atlas Mountains if you take a different direction.

Take in the peace of a tranquil Berber village by turning your head in a different direction. You might realize that this place offers so much tranquillity that you never want to leave! We go to the artificial Lalla Takerkoust Lake, which provides water to Marrakech. The annual replenishment of this lake by Marrakech depends on that snow. With all of its highways, swimming pools, and golf courses, this most populated city in Morocco has a high need for water.

We leave the highlands, which are still pristine in many sections, and head back to Marrakech. Your day trip to Agafay desert will conclude with drop-off at your accommodation when we return to Marrakech in the late evening.

SIN DUDA UN VIAJE INOLVIDABLE Gracias a Hassan hemos podido ver todo lo que teníamos pendiente por ver. Nos ha organizado el viaje totalmente y nos ha explicado todos y cada uno de los paisajes y monumentos que íbamos recorriendo. En nuestro caso que somos españoles hemos podido comunicarnos perfectamente en español con él. Es una gran persona y estamos seguro de que cuando volvamos a Marruecos repetiremos con él. Ha hecho unas vacaciones inolvidables

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.

Marokko 🇲🇦 2023 We booked a trip to Morocco for 10 days with Best Morocco Travels agency it was really unforgettable and Hassan was always responding on time and providing nice services. Mustafa our driver was exceptional. He expertly guided us through Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, the Sahara, and Berber villages and invited us to lunch with his family it was the best trip we have ever been on in our life. The itinerary was well organized, and the accommodation and local cuisine were top-notch. Moustapha local insights enriched our experience. Best Morocco Travel agency and Moustapha exceeded my expectations, making this trip a highlight of our trip. If you are planning to visit Morocco, we highly recommend their services, Thank you for the great experiences we will come back again. Susan and friends

Inesquecível!! Éramos seis amigas na nossa inesquecível viagem ao Marrocos, e nosso guia/motorista Hassan foi muito atencioso e prestativo, sempre pontual e pronto para atender às nossas solicitações. Excelente motorista, nos sentimos seguras durante toda a viagem. Van confortável e com wi-fi. Recomendo muito os seus serviços. O ponto alto da viagem foi nossa ida ao deserto e pernoite no acampamento. Experiência única e imperdível!

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.

Enjoyable trip The week in Morocco was very interesting and special. We not only enjoyed the local scenery, but also the considerate service. Hassan arranged the accommodation for us with local characteristics, and provided us with small gifts and local delicacies during the trip. All our requirements were well met by him and it was a very memorable and enjoyable trip.
