The Agafay Desert in Morocco, a comfortable day’s journey from Marrakeck, offers a distinct experience of its own. Contrary to usual deserts, Agafay presents a landscape of sandstone and hard-packed earth rather than sand. Traditional mud houses, dry river beds and luxurious greenery during the spring season form the varied scenery here, complete with a local tea experience.
These three valleys merge into fertile lands where the time-honoured customs of the native Berber people continue unaffected. Spend a day to uncover the true essence of Morocco, navigating through this age-old terrain, full of secret wonders and breathtaking panoramas.
