Agafay Desert Dinner & Sunset Camel Ride from Marrakech
Why Choose This Agafay Desert Dinner
This Agafay desert dinner and sunset camel ride is the easiest desert evening from Marrakech, only about one hour away. To begin with, your driver picks you up in the afternoon.

Expert tip from our team
Bring a warm layer, because the desert cools quickly after sunset, especially from November to March. In addition, tell us about any dietary needs when you book. Also, Agafay is a stony desert, so do not expect high sand dunes.
