Agafay Desert Tour from Marrakech
The Agafay Desert is the closest desert to Marrakech: only 45 minutes from the Medina. A private trip with ZikassTours takes you to its lunar landscape of stone hills, with views of the Atlas Mountains, for a sunset you will never forget.
Highlights
- Sunset over the desert and the Atlas Mountains
- Camel ride or quad biking (optional)
- Dinner under the stars in a desert camp (optional)
- Only 45 minutes from Marrakech
Agafay is a stone desert, not a sand desert. That makes it perfect if you do not have time for the 2-day trip to the Sahara. You get the silence, the space and the golden light of the desert in half a day.
Most travelers choose the afternoon trip: we pick you up at your riad, drive to the desert, and you can add a camel ride, a quad session or a traditional dinner with music in a desert camp. Tell us what you want on WhatsApp and we organize everything.
Because the car is private, you leave when you want and stop where you want. It is ideal for couples, families and small groups up to 7 people.
