Day Trips from Marrakech to Agafay

Experience Marrakech: Best Things to Do & See, Including the Agafay Desert

- Overview of the Agafay Desert Experience

The Agafay Desert experience from Marrakech is considered one of the best outdoor activities in Marrakech. A Sahara Desert experience in Morocco is highly recommended and well-known among travelers, with the Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga dunes being the most famous destinations. However, for travelers with limited time in Morocco, a visit to the Agafay Desert near Marrakech offers a fantastic alternative.

Less than one hour from Marrakech, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains, a peaceful and relaxing desert experience, and exciting adventure activities in Agafay, making it a must-do excursion from Marrakech.

In the afternoon, our team will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and drive towards the traditional Berber villages near Marrakech, far from the city’s hustle and bustle. On the way, we will pass by the Lalla Takerkoust Dam, which relies on the High Atlas Mountains’ snowmelt to provide fresh water to Marrakech.
