Sunset Camel Ride in Agafay

Description

Camel Riding at Sunset in the Agafay Desert

If you only have half a day to spare, the Agafay Desert is the perfect destination for an unforgettable camel-riding experience near Marrakech.

Located just a 40-minute drive southeast of the city, the Agafay Desert offers breathtaking views of its rocky terrain, reminiscent of sand dunes, and a chance to witness a stunning sunset. Sip on a cup of traditional mint tea as you soak in the serene beauty of this unique landscape.

Activity Program

• Pick-Up: Your driver will collect you from your hotel or riad in Marrakech and take you through scenic olive and orange farms on the way to the Agafay Desert, located southwest of the city.
• Camel Ride: Upon arrival, meet your camel caravan and get dressed in a traditional nomadic outfit, complete with a blue robe and sheish (turban). After snapping a few memorable photos, you’ll begin a one-hour camel ride through the picturesque desert landscape. In spring, the arid terrain may bloom with greenery, and on clear days, the snow-capped Atlas Mountains provide a spectacular backdrop.
• Mint Tea Break: Enjoy a refreshing cup of mint tea and experience the warm hospitality of the Berber people.
• Return to Marrakech: As the sun sets and the desert transforms under the fading light, your driver will take you back to Marrakech, dropping you off at your hotel, riad, or a location of your choice in the city center.

This half-day adventure combines breathtaking scenery, authentic culture, and unforgettable moments, making it a must-do experience in Marrakech.
