Why Choose This Agafay Desert Camp Overnight

This Agafay desert camp overnight is the easiest way to sleep in the desert from Marrakech, only about one hour away. To begin with, your driver picks you up in the afternoon. Then you ride a camel at sunset, enjoy dinner and music under the stars, and sleep in a comfortable tent, before sunrise over the hills.

Throughout the stay, you also choose your tent, from a standard tent to a glamping tent with a private bathroom. In fact, Agafay is a stony desert, not a sand sea, so the views are of rolling hills and the High Atlas. As a result, it suits travellers with little time who still want a desert night.

However, for high sand dunes, see our 3 day tour to Merzouga. Also read our guide to sleeping under the stars in Morocco.

Expert tip from our team

Pack a warm layer, because desert nights are cold from November to March. In addition, choose a glamping tent if a private bathroom matters to you. Also, add quad biking before sunset for an active afternoon. Finally, Agafay is stony, so do not expect big sand dunes.
