  Agafay is the closest desert to Marrakech, much more arid and rocky than Merzouga. It is a great option for those who want to visit a desert but only have one day’s time, or for those who want to enjoy a night in a Berber tent but want to be back the next day; It is also a good option for families who want to enjoy a night in tents in the desert without having to spend many hours on the road. For the rest, we recommend our 3-day desert excursion or, otherwise, the two-day excursion. Feel free to check out the pictures in the Agafay gallery attached.

Itinerary

One day private Marrakesh desert tour

Pick up at the hotel or riad in Marrakech at 9:00 in the morning. Then we leave for Agafay, arriving at approximately 10:00 in the morning.

There we are welcomed with tea, bread and oil, before our 45 minute camel ride through the Agafay desert. Then, we will go on a 45-minute quad tour, exploring the desert from another point of view.

Around 12:00 we get in our 4×4 again crossing the desert until we reach the Lalla Takerkoust lake, an unusual landscape surrounded by mountains that supplies water to this dry area of Morocco.

Our next stop along the way is the Plateau de Kik, a landscape dominated by a vast limestone plateau. Then we go up to the Berber village of Moulay Ibrahim, and later head down to Asni, where we will have lunch in a family restaurant.

Then free time in Asni (if it is Saturday we can check out its peculiar market). Return to Marrakech crossing the Atlas Mountains and arrival at the accommodations in Marrakech at approximately 4:00pm.

Another interesting option is spending a night in a Berber tent. These are some of the advantages of this option:

More leisurely and complete excursion, also visiting the three valleys (Ourika, Asni and Sidi Fars).

 Since we have all day, we arrive in Agafay at sunset time, and start our camel ride, ending with a night spent in a Berber tent, making the experience more immersive.

Spend a night in your own Berber tent with a private bathroom, including dinner and breakfast the next day in the camp.

 We head back to Marrakech the morning of the next day (we let the driver know at what time, taking into account that we have to check out of the tent before 11:30 and that the ride from Agafay to Marrakech is about an hour).

 All the advantages of the basic option are also included (lunch, camel ride, welcome tea with bread and oil, etc.)

The cost will also vary depending on the total number of travelers price indicated in the table per person for a double tent):
