Discover the Agafay desert, a marvel situated just thirty-five kilometres from vibrant Marrakesh, nestling in the highest reaches of Morocco's High Atlas massif. This expanse of reg, covered in stone and rock, stretches over several hundred hectares in an undulating landscape dotted with dunes of white and ochre hues.
Although it resembles a classic desert such as the Sahara, Agafay is actually a smaller expanse of desert. Its proximity to the ochre city makes it an increasingly popular getaway destination.
An Oasis in the midst of the desert of Agafay
Explore the enchanting oasis of Agafay, a small green oasis of seven hectares where eucalyptus, olive trees and vines grow, fed by a nearby wadi. Soak up the unique atmosphere of this place, the authenticity and striking beauty of the Agafay desert, enhanced by the multicoloured staircases that dot the landscape, an experience that is sure to leave its mark.
Discover total escapism in the Agafay Desert, a spectacular stretch of desert well worth the diversions. Also known as the "Marrakshi desert", Agafay invites you to enjoy a rewarding getaway, whether for half a day or several days of adventure.
The landscapes of Agafay are coloured in shades of white and ochre, creating an arid, lunar landscape of undulating rocks as far as the eye can see. Although reminiscent of classic deserts such as the Sahara, Agafay is not a traditional desert, but a vast expanse of desert on the plateaux of the High Atlas, untouched by the influx of tourists.
Far from the hustle and bustle of urban life, the Agafay desert offers a fascinating natural sanctuary, ideal for recharging your batteries and reconnecting with yourself. Close to Marrakesh, it's the perfect place for an exceptional excursion where soothing silence reigns. Let yourself be transported by this haven of peace, conducive to meditation and well-being, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Don't miss the spectacular sunset over these exotic lands steeped in nomadism. And start your mornings in style with breakfast overlooking the canyon, for an unforgettable gastronomic and sensory experience in the heart of the desert.
