Leave the vibrant city of Marrakech and drive through lush vegetation, olive and orange trees, orchards and through genuine villages. The scenery is completely different off the beaten tracks or on the road, – barren light brown plateaux, a true stone desert. The locals call it Agafay desert: it well could be Sahara as well, because of the feeling of loneliness you can experience there. For all those who haven’t got enough time in Morocco to go for a Sahara tour, all the way south then the Agafay desert is an excellent alternative. The Agafay desert is not a sand desert – but more sandstone and earthen plateau. You will discover, traditional earth-built villages, dusty riverbeds are interspersed with spectacular sumptuous pasture and vegetation in springtime. There we can appreciate a tea with the locals and experience trekking by camel.
ITINERARY The team will collect you at your riad / hotel in Marrakech. There is less than one-hour drive to reach the stony Agafay desert. There, your camels will be waiting for you to make a lovely ride around an amazing landscape in order to reach your final destination: a gorgeous panorama where you will have the chance to stop for tea with locals and enjoy the sunset from there.
