Agafay Desert: The Perfect Escape Near Marrakech

Writer: Latif GuideLatif Guide

Just a short drive from Marrakech, the Agafay Desert is becoming a must-visit destination for travelers looking for adventure and relaxation. With its wild beauty and peaceful atmosphere, it now rivals Merzouga as a top desert experience in Morocco.


A few years ago, most visitors went to Merzouga for a desert experience. But now, more and more people choose Agafay because it is closer to Marrakech and offers a similar feeling of escape, but with easier logistics.


Luxury camps in Agafay provide comfortable tents under the stars, quad and buggy tours, and traditional dinners with Berber music. The atmosphere here feels more intimate and unique.

Camel rides are also a popular activity, allowing visitors to enjoy the calm and beauty of the desert. The camels, in shades from light beige to dark brown, move gracefully across the rocky landscape, making the experience even more special.


In just a few years, Agafay has become a great alternative to Merzouga for those looking for nature, adventure, and tradition all just a short trip from Marrakech.
