Watch the sun set over the stone desert on this private Agafay dinner and show evening from Marrakech. Only 40 minutes from the city, the Agafay Desert is a landscape of bare hills and dry riverbeds with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon. Dinner is a traditional Moroccan tagine served under the stars, followed by live Berber music, drumming and a fire show.
The price includes return transport from your riad or hotel and the dinner with the show. A camel ride at sunset and a quad bike ride across the tracks can be added at booking. The vehicle is private, limited to 7 travellers, and you are back in Marrakech the same evening.

Pickup from your riad or hotel in Marrakech in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, in the late afternoon, so that you reach the desert before sunset. The exact pickup time is confirmed the day before and depends on the season.
Leave the city behind and drive about 40 minutes south-west towards the Agafay Desert. The landscape changes quickly: olive groves give way to bare stone hills, dry riverbeds and wide open horizons, with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains rising in the distance. This is not a sand desert but a hamada, a rocky plateau that turns gold and then deep rose as the light drops.
Arrive at the desert camp in time for the sunset. This is when the optional activities take place: a camel ride along the ridges at a slow pace, or a quad bike ride across the desert tracks, both bookable when you reserve. If you prefer, you can simply settle on the terrace with a mint tea and watch the light change over the hills.
Dinner is served at the camp as the sky darkens: a traditional Moroccan tagine with salads and bread, cooked on site. The evening continues with live Berber music, Tam-Tam drumming around the fire and a fire show. Far from the city lights, the night sky over Agafay is remarkably clear.
Your driver takes you back to Marrakech at the end of the evening, with drop-off at your riad or hotel. The whole outing lasts about 5 hours door to door.
About 40 minutes by road, around 30 km south-west of the city. It is the closest desert landscape to Marrakech, which is why it works as an evening outing rather than an overnight trip.
No. Agafay is a hamada, a stone desert of bare hills and dry riverbeds, with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon. The golden dunes of Erg Chebbi are in Merzouga, a 3-day tour from Marrakech. Agafay gives you the desert atmosphere and the night sky in a single evening.
Return transport from your riad or hotel in a private vehicle, the dinner at the camp, and the music and fire show. The camel ride and the quad biking are optional extras, added when you book.
From 40 EUR per person for a group of 7, and 70 EUR per person for two travellers. The price per person falls as your group grows, because you share one private vehicle. The group is limited to 7 travellers.
Pickup is in the late afternoon, timed so that you reach the desert before sunset, and the exact hour changes with the season. You are back in Marrakech at the end of the evening, after about 5 hours in total.
Yes. The drive is short, the camp is comfortable and the show is family friendly. The camel ride can be shortened for younger children. Quad biking has an age limit and is better suited to teenagers and adults.
A warm layer: even in summer the temperature drops quickly once the sun is down, and the desert evenings are cool. Closed shoes are more comfortable on the stony ground, and a camera is worth having for the sunset.
