Tour Plan
🚗 Pickup in Marrakech (Around 9:00 AM)
Your journey begins with a warm welcome and hotel pickup in Marrakech. As you head out of the city, the scenery quickly shifts. Lush farmlands and olive groves slowly turn into wide-open plains and rocky hills. The quiet roads lead you toward the vast Agafay Desert Morocco, just under an hour away.
🏜️ Journey Through Agafay Desert
Soon, you’ll go off-road to explore the desert’s wild landscape. The Agafay Desert, with its rocky slopes and dusty trails, feels otherworldly. Unlike sandy dunes, this desert’s stony terrain has a raw, untouched charm.
You’ll pass through remote Berber villages, where daily life moves peacefully. Watch flocks of sheep grazing and soak in the authenticity of the countryside. Don’t forget your camera—every view here tells a story.
🐫 Camel Ride & Moroccan Mint Tea
One of the most memorable parts of this tour is the camel ride. Climb aboard and enjoy a peaceful ride across the rolling terrain. As you sway gently with your camel’s stride, take in the quiet of the desert.
After your trek, relax with a glass of sweet Moroccan mint tea at a cozy desert camp. It’s a lovely moment to pause and take it all in.
🍽️ Lunch Under a Nomadic Tent
Next, it’s time for a real treat—a freshly prepared three-course Moroccan lunch served under a traditional tent. You’ll savor dishes like chicken or lamb Tagine, crisp Moroccan salads, local bread, and seasonal fruits. With the desert as your backdrop, lunch becomes a beautiful experience in itself.
🌊 Lalla Takerkoust Lake
After lunch, we head to the stunning Lalla Takerkoust Lake, located on the edge of the desert. This man-made lake offers a peaceful contrast to the dry surroundings. Framed by eucalyptus trees and the distant Atlas Mountains, it’s the perfect place to relax, snap a few photos, and appreciate the serenity.
🏙️ Return to Marrakech (Early Evening)
As the sun begins to dip, we make our way back to Marrakech. You’ll return to your hotel with unforgettable memories of the Agafay Desert Morocco, Berber culture, and the natural beauty just beyond the city.
