Marrakech and the Agafay Desert
Daily Departures from Marrakech (FLIGHTS NOT INCLUDED)
About this tour
This trip combines the energy of Marrakech with the serenity of the Agafay Desert. After arriving and getting a first feel for the Red City, you can explore its treasures on optional visits: gardens, palaces, souks or cookery workshops. In the afternoon, the route heads to the nearby Agafay Desert, a stony landscape of hills and gentle dunes with views of the Atlas, where you can enjoy dinner under the stars and Berber music. At sunrise, optional activities such as camel rides or quad biking come before the return to Marrakech. The trip ends with free time for shopping, a hammam or a stroll before farewells.
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Marrakech
Landing in Marrakech means stepping into a world where time seems to fold in on itself and stretch out all at once. From the moment you set foot in Menara airport, the golden light of late afternoon brushes the ochre walls that have guarded the city for almost a thousand years. Founded in 1070 by the Almoravids, Marrakech was the capital of empires, a key stop on the Sahara caravan routes and the cradle of a rich artistic tradition.
After the transfer to your hotel, you can feel the city's pulse: the scent of cumin and cinnamon drifting through the air, the distant call of the muezzin and minarets silhouetted against a magenta sky. Free evening to settle in or to give in to a first stroll through the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Dinner and overnight stay.
Did you know… Marrakech was founded in 1070 by the Almoravids, and its walls, almost a thousand years old, have witnessed its history as a capital of empires and a hub of the Sahara trade routes.
