About this tour

The Agafay is a rocky, moon-like desert of rolling hills just 40 km from Marrakech, with the High Atlas as a backdrop. In your own 4×4 you'll explore its tracks, drop in on a Berber family for mint tea and spend an hour on camelback.

Lunch is a three-course meal served in a nomad-style tent, followed by a photo stop at Lalla Takerkoust lake on the way back to the city. Quad or buggy rides can be added.
