-
Relish a 3-course meal under the starlit sky in the boundless Agafay Desert.
-
While the contours of Agafay mimic a typical desert’s topography like the Sahara, it should be categorized as a desert region with a smaller surface area rather than a full-blown desert. Its close proximity to the city of Marrakech and the Atlas mountains makes it an attractive escape option.

Decent day out. Quad... - Decent day out. Quad biking was offered, and I found it great fun, though I think it probably wasn't up to European safety standards (once round the yard and then onto a main road for a few mins). Once in the desert though it was a blast with fantastic views. Camels were as advertised. Something of a sterile experience in that you're not actually going anywhere, they just dress you up in the robes and trot you out for what is effectively a fifteen minute photo op. I didn't care much for the evening show but for those that like that sort of thing it seems alright. They had us yell Arabic phrases, it would have been nice to know what we were saying. The food was surprisingly good, really decent. The desert in general was awesome though, and the price of the whole thing very reasonable. I'd recommend it, all things considered.

Camel ride at sunset & Dinner In a camp - We had a lovely evening and highly recommend this experience. It was all taken care of and our guide Nassim has done a very good job, as he took care of all the smallest details. After a camel ride at sunset, we had a typical dinner (tajine and salad) in a camp just outside Marrakesh, and a drums show around a bonfire to warm us a little bit up. Very nice atmosphere, for everyone.

TREAT THOSE CAMELS BETTER!🐪 - Treat those CAMELS with respect! It was just heartbreaking to see how they are being mistreated. Some of them have a very deep wounds from ropes on their faces. They are connected with those ropes so close, so they can't move their heads!
I really hope more people will start noticing it
